So, my band is taking our first trip out of town this week, travelling to Austin and Dallas to play shows in Texas. Very excited, looking forward to seeing friends and getting the chance to play for them for the first time. Got a variety of new albums added to my ipod, as you can see below:
Air - Pocket Symphony
On first listen, it’s just beatiful all the way around.
Cold War Kids - Robbers & Cowards
First time I listened to this at a store, I didn’t really like it much. Grabbed it this weekend and it’s sounding pretty good. Those guys don’t listen to Spoon much or anything…
Explosions In The Sky - All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone
One of my favorite bands, barely given it a listen but expecting good things.
Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly, Angry Mob
Klaxons - Myths
Grabbed this a week or so ago and love the hell out of it. Quite upset their show is sold out.
Mogwai - Zidane Soundtrack
It was time for a slower less bombastic Mogwai album to fall asleep to, and this accomplishes that.
My Morning Jacket - Z
I am kicking myself for never listening to them before. From the sound of the first song alone, I’m hoping the rest of the album blows me away just as much.
Pink Floyd - Animals
A friend promised me this for Christmas, never got it for me, so picked it up on my own finally.
The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Only listened to the first two songs but this sound promising. Not sure if it’s a trick Damon Albarn has up his sleeve, but comparing this with Think Tank, the bass sounds are amazing. No idea what they do, but it’s very distinct and different.
