After a year hiatis, I figured it’s time to start again. Enjoy!

Gorillaz

While on tour for Plastic Beaches, Damon Albarn still couldn’t stop making music. This time proving the power of the iPad, wherein all of these tracks were created. While it had been available free on their website, it is now available for those of you that love having a cd.

Lenka

Haven’t had your pop fix in awhile? Give Lenka’s new LP “Two” a listen. That should do the trick.

The Belle Brigade

One of the happiest albums I’ve heard recently. From the grandchildren of composer John Williams, the Gruska siblings have created an album that mixes modern and the era of the 70’s amazingly well. I can’t wait to listen to this one on vinyl. Definitely one of the best albums I’ve heard in awhile.

I’m From Barcelona 

Hailing from Sweden, this indie-pop band has more members than most sports teams. Not really, but you get the idea. Great harmonies, instrumentation, and they’ve got the hipster uniform down pat. Forever Today will easily be one your fun ‘summer-time’ albums.

Nikki Kummerow

If you were a fan of Copeland before their recent break-up, Nikki’s folky singer-songwriter album Firecracker was produced by Aaron Marsh and has his touch all over it. There are even moments when Kummerow’s voice sounds so similar to Marsh’s you’d almost think you were listening to a new Copeland track. However, Copeland fan or not, make sure to check out this simple yet beautiful record.
