New Music Overload!!

 

Fight Softly - The Ruby Suns

Reminds me a little bit of Animal Collective.  Trippy and danceable with multiple layers of sounds and rhythms. Like a hippy dance party if hippies used more electronic instruments.

Cranberry

 

The Besnard Lakes are The Roaring Night -

Besnard Lakes

Also slightly trippy.  This album is filled with instrumental rock reminiscent of Pink Floyd.  So expect some more trippy sounds with mellow and interesting rock undertones and some falsetto male and exquisite female vocals. 

Albatross

Black Light - Groove Armada

With a name like Groove Armada, it isn't hard to figure out the type of music that they play.  Electronic dance music that isn't just a thumping beat to repetitive high pitch robot sounds.  This is some great club music in the vein of Justice but with more vocals.

Paper Romance

Plastic Beach - Gorillaz

The only sad thing about this release is that it wasn't produced by Dangermouse.  And sometimes you can tell within the album.  

Broken

 

Hidden - These New Puritans

These guys have shot up the UK charts and I hope they get equal amount of love here in the States.   Definitely an art rock type of group, there is more experimentation that occurs then your basic guitar/drum combo.  Sometimes dark, sometimes electronic, but always with a rock groove to it. 

We Want War

 

Synchronize EP - Solid Gold

Minneapolis favorites, they are diverging just slightly on their new EP going from the more simple danceable songs to some great electronic sounding indie rock.  

Synchronize (White Sea remix)

  

Total Life Forever - Foals (Coming May 2010)
