I decent album by two guys from Portland...that's it, just two people! Sometimes they sound like they stole a few melodies but overall its a pretty easy going electronically-incorporated indie album.

Subtle / ExitingARM (2008)
Experimental Hip-hop/indie-pop (supposedly genre-less) collab make a pretty good album that is all over the place. The band has had some tough luck in the past with tour van crashes, injuries, and stolen equipment, so out of sympathy this might be a record to buy. ExitingARM is also the last in the Hour Hero Yes trilogy, a character that narrates his own rise and fall. Recommended for listeners of the anticon collective.

Dosh / Wolves and Wishes (2008)
I haven't been able to post seeing as this week is finals. The only music I've been listening to is Miles Davis while studying. I've listened to this album once, and I liked it so I thought I would post it.
It makes me kind of mad that I worked kind of hard to find this album, and turns out if you search for Dosh on google, a mediafire file of the album comes up in the first three entries.

Wolf Parade / At Mount Zoomer (2008)
Thought I post this quickly as not many places have it up, but this means I myself haven't listened to it yet. Tell me what it's like...

Sigur Ros / Hlemmur Sountrack (2007)
This may be for serious Sigur Ros fans only, but maybe I'm wrong. "It is an instrumental electronic score to the Icelandic documentary Hlemmur, which is named after Reykjavík's main bus terminal. It was first sold to the public in the spring 2003 European and American tours. It is composed of 19 tracks, some of which are variations of the same theme." (tip: listen with headphones)

Where the Wild Things Are Clip
This is a clip that has been removed from most sites so here it is while it lasts. It looks awesome to me but a lot of people seem to be having a hard time with its supposed dark content as it is intended to be a children's film. It is also scored by Karen O and Bradford Cox...probably not intended for children then...?
After further investigation this clip is probably nothing like the actual movie seeing that the little boy is not actually the right actor! I mean the sound quality isn't great but if this is just a test, think about how good the actual movie will be! Don't re-shoot!

Backstage Sessions : Fleet Foxes - Innocent Son from Hard to Find a Friend on Vimeo.
Also check out the cover of "Katie Cruel" on the Backstage Sessions. Robin Pecknold's voice is flawless.
Born Ruffians / Red Yellow & Blue (2008)
Pure indie-rock and a purely lovable and fun album. Toronto-based Born Ruffians' debut packs woozy singing and yelps and chants on a platter of guitarpeggio and foot-stompin', rolling toms.

Mewithoutyou / Brother, Sister (2006)
Way underrated album by an awesome band. The album never received the attention it deserves, so I hoping you at least give it a chance. I am having a hard time trying to pinpoint their sound with descriptive words. I think the best I can do is spoken-word/yelled with a slight and simple melody backed by post-hardcore guitars. Don't judge them by this description though. Mewithoutyou gets thrown into the emo scene for some reason I can't think of, so don't judge them by the bands they usually tour with either. And the lyrics are incredible. Give it a chance- it will grow on you. And see them live if you can!

Efterklang / Parades (2007)
Danish collaborative sew intricate ambiance and unique marching band instrumentation together somehow with hushed vocals and background chants.

Sam Amidon / All Is Well (2008)
An outstanding melancholy and relaxed acoustic album that deserves more attention. Sam Amidon (sometimes going by Samamidon) takes traditional American folk songs in the public domain and makes them quietly beautiful. Highly recommended.

I uploaded this basically because of "Safer", probably a better track than most on Strawberry Jam.

No Kids / Come into My House (2008)
Vancouver trio with impressive release ranging from piano pop to barbershop quartet to slick beat R&B. And all this while still going in one direction.

Yeasayer / All Hour Cymbals (2007)
I thought I would continue posting some of my favorites. This was one of my favorite albums of last year. From sitars to droning bass riffs, these guys craft songs that will be sung for awhile.

Yeasayer / Tight Rope
An awesome unreleased track from Yeasayer on a Take Away Show that is worth posting. I've heard their normal live version of this song and this one might actually be better.

Fleet Foxes (2008)
This is my favorite band of this year so far. They sound like a primitive and subdued yet more harmonious version of At Dawn-era My Morning Jacket (making up for Evil Urges.)

What's on the Menu?
Beach House / Devotion (2008)
This is the first of a section where music will be compared to food, and I have to give credit to my brother because it was his idea.
Beach House's extremely sweet and glittery new album, Devotion, was as easy choice: CUPCAKES. Devotions is lite and sweet and a nice for dreamy celebrations just like a cupcake. (Disclaimer: I may have been influenced by the cover just a little bit).
My Morning Jacket / Evil Urges (2008)
I had heard a while back that MMJ had been playing songs off of Evil Urges at recent shows and according to a few critics the new songs reached an almost dancey-groove feel and even leaned over the edge of R&B. Oddly enough it's kind of true, at least for the first part of the album. Everyone has been mentioning how the second half of the album redeems itself, but it may just take a little bit for everyone to settle down and accept the fact that My Morning Jacket are no longer the barefootin' alt-country cats they appeared to be.
The Ruby Suns / Sea Lion (2008)
This is a really enjoyable album that caught my attention with "Tane Mahuta", but cannot be judged by that track alone, nor any track alone. They stretch their sound from laid back lo-fi rock to mariachi quartet but still keep a world beat-tribal undertone throughout. The New Zealand band's delightful tunes seem to be bringing in the warm weather.
