LIST: My Favorite New Bands To Listen To

1. Basia Bulat:

I saw a poster of her in a music store and looked her up - the lyrics and music are amazing and she's got a new album coming out too!



















2. Pink Mountaintops

I found this band almost by accident while researching Black Mountain. They are somewhat a mix of Shoegaze and Country but it sounds much better than the description.


3. The Dutchess and the Duke

Jack and Julie put these guys on my ipod right before we drove down to ATL from NYC, after listening a few times I couldn't get them out of my head. They have a new album out but I have yet to hear it.


4. Brian Eno and John Cale - Wrong Way Up

Ok it's not a new band but it is in many ways a dream come true as I love Eno's Vocal work - which I had exhausted by listening to all of it. So imagine my joy when I found out that two of my favorite people got together and made an album which is actually really good and compliments each others talents. This album is definitely a 9.5 out of 10.


5. Beach House

Yet another gem from Jack and Julie. It reminds me of Fall and the West Coast - two of my favorite things.
