The Unknown & Unheard Show 289! The Return!
Matthew E. White : Steady Pace : Big Inner (2012)
- Debut album.
- Take the sound of Iron & Wine's last 2 albums and the Welcome Wagon and make it catchier, funkier and fuller and you get this incredible album.
- I saw him perform it once already and I can't recommend the show enough!.
- One of the best releases of the year.
Dusted : (Into the) Atmosphere : Total Dust (2012)
- Debut full length
- Collaborative band from a member of Holy Fuck and Final Fantasy.
- Big Neil Young folk sound.
The UFO Club : July : The UFO Club
- Debut LP from collaboration between The Black Angels and Night Beats.
- Great dark psych rock… not a surprise considering the band's family tree.
Divine Fits : Shivers (Rowland S. Howard cover) : A Thing Called the Divine Fits (2012)
- The long awaited collaborative album from Spoon's Britt Daniel and Wolf Parade/Handsome Furs' Dan Boeckner.
- This album is powered by the Boeckner led tracks but this cover is pretty hard to deny as the album's highlight.
- Rowland S. Howard was the guitarist in the Boys Next Door, Nick Cave's first band, and Cave covered it brilliantly himself for them.
JEFF the Brotherhood : Changes (Black Sabbath/Ozzy cover) : Hypnotic Nights (2012)
- 7th album
- Classic rock duo from Tennessee comprised of Jake & Jamin Orrall
- I'm somewhat reluctant to say a cover is one of my favorite songs of the year, but this song was such an unexpected treat when I listened to this album.
- The rock scene owes a lot of thanks to these guys and Japandroids.
MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine
Grizzly Bear : Sleeping Ute : Shields (2012)

Dark Meat : When the Shelter Came : When the Shelter Came (2009)
- One of the most unique groups making music
- Athens based collective of musicians making sounds that combine Captain Beefheart, Zappa, the Stooges and host of other classic, off-beat psych bands.
- Pretty awesome/inappropriate album art.
Twin Shadow : Five Seconds : Confess (2012)
- 2nd album
- There might not be a song I've listened to more since my move than this one
- Band led by George Lewis Jr.
- Part pop, part 80's synth rock, part dance and all wrapped up in Lewis' dynamic vocals.
College : A Real Hero : A Real Hero EP (2010)
- Dance pop band that one me over with this track's inclusion on the Drive OST.
- I openly admit that my love of this track is directly related to my enjoyment of the movie, but it's still been one I've kept replaying frequently.
- Really love the 80's vibe of the entire soundtrack.
- 2 full lengths out as well.
Ty Segall & Mikal Cronin : Pop Song : Pop Song 7" (2012)
