Album :: Oberhofer

Play - Away From You (o0O0o0O0o)

I've been frequenting myspoonful.com for curated music from new independent artists. The site is not as comprehensive as Pitchfork or MOG but according to the mission statement, they aren't trying to be. Think of it as a daily music digest from your local indie record store.

Oberhofer can be categorized as dream pop, folk rock and noise pop. Music made for fans of Animal Collective, Arcade Fire and No Age. The singer is only 19-years old but has a voice that creates hauntingly deep folk sounds. Adore and looking forward to more from him.

Trying to get work done this late in the evening is kind of useless. Too many distractions. Not sure how I ended up on ex.fm labs but here I am. They call it the Super Awesome Music Blog Finder Thingy. Enter your  last.fm profile and they'll find music blogs that match your popular albums. The results were OK at best, mostly top-level homepages or search result pages.  However I did happen upon this great track by Fuckpony featuring Chela Simone and some sexy saxophone. So perhaps not a total fail then.

Album :: Callers

Play - Heartbeat (Life of Love)

My fave song off of Callers second full-length album 'Life of Love' released back in August. Makes me think of summer nights and mint juleps. The Brooklyn trio blends jazz and post-punk styles with soulful and melodic chorus lines. Quite lovely.
