Clues – Cave Mouth – Clues (2009) - debut album - Alden Penner (The Unicorns) and Bredan Reed (Arcade Fire Alum) - doesn’t really sound like a combination of those two bands which is pretty cool, I think.

Official Site : Myspace : Buy on Amazon : Stream on HypeMachine Frightened Rabbit – Floating In the Forth – Midnight Organ Fight (2008) - 2nd album - This band had a lot of hype from the start, and that combined with a ‘far from album best’ first single pushed me away at first, but the deeper I dug into this album the more I was blown away - This is the best track on the album and its unedited form isn’t the most radio friendly song. - Scottish accent stands out, but there seems to be something more than that to his vocals and make them truly unique.

I think it back fired, it’s pretty unlistenable and garnered harsh reviews Official Site : Myspace : Buy on Amazon : Stream on HypeMachine Dead Heart Bloom – Love Like Lies – Oh Mercy (2008) - 2nd of 3 2008 Eps - All are free to download on his site. - Two full lengths show a wide range of talents, spanning from heavy dark BRMC/NIN-like songs to bright acoustic folk.

Official Site : Myspace : Buy on Amazon : Stream on HypeMachine Kurt Vile – Beach On The Moon – God Is Saying This To You (2009) - 2nd album, debut was ‘Constant Hitmaker’ - dreamy pop rock with vocals that bring up thoughts of Devendra Banhart - like Iron & Wine, cut his teeth with lo-fi recordings… this shows up more on ‘God is Saying…’ - Uses the lyrics from ‘Freeway’ on this track…’Freeway’ is one of my favorite of the year, so it was hard not to dig this. - If you aren’t completely relaxed by the sound of this track you are probably still angry about my ‘Reply All’ idea.
