- the vocals give this band their power… they are explosions in the sky with words
- on jagjaguwar record label
- Baltimore band

Plants & Animals - Lightshow - The End of That (2012)

- 6th album, Golden Archipelago was out in Feb of 2010
- they pack so much intensity in their songs. No one sounds quite like them.
- Austin Okkervil River
- Almost a voice you’d expect at the opera
- Palo Santo is their best album.
- This is the most frantic track I’ve ever heard by them.
- Almost sounds like the band Wilderness here which would normally sound like a ridiculous comparison. Hooray for the evolution and open mindedness of musicians.
Mark Lanegan Band - The Gravedigger's Song - Blues Funeral (2012)
- Forthcoming effort from Mark Lanegan.
- Man of many projects and styles… most of them dark.

These United States
- This is an unreleased track recorded during an I Am Fuel. You Are Friends Session
- 4 albums out so far.

- 4 full lengths out currently, with a 5th coming out soon.
- His self-titled second blew me away.
- the best folk singer/songwriter out there for my money.
- DayTrotter was one of the first sites that I found early on and loved. The feature a live session from a new artist every single day! Unfortunately they’ve recently changed a lot and started charging.

- Song taken from their 2nd of 3 albums, Loyalty To Loyalty.
- Richard Swift is a favorite of the U & U and imposes his will on this track here found on RCRDLBL.
- RCRDLBL is a site I check weekly. It features a tremendously diverse range of styles from rap, remixes, folk, rock and metal. Pretty much everything. Great place to sample a bigger variety of styles you my not find on more style-specific blogs/sites. Tons of free downloads.
AgesandAges - So So Freely - Alright You Restless (2011)
