Who cares about their musical talent? There are a lot of other factors to consider.
Music Buzz Hot on the heels of their eponymous debut album, the Seattle-area band releases a video for their single “White Winter Hymnal.” Released to universal critical claim, the quintet’s album, and its reverb-soaked folk rock sound, conjure memories of early My Morning Jacket and classic acts like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Led Zeppelin (no, not “Black Dog.” Think Led Zeppelin III). Earthy and pastoral, the album serves as the perfect companion to a warm summer afternoon. The video, produced and animated by Sean Pecknold, nicely complements the transient nature of the song, not to mention it’s a pleasant little trip through a psychedelic clay land.
Music Buzz Not quite blues, not necessarily folk, not totally rock, this Pennsylvania-bred singer/songwriter is making indie music bloggers very, very happy. Signed to V2 records and having recently landed a gig on Letterman, Langhorne Slim (along with his drummer and upright bassist The War Eagles) seems set on his way to appearing on many Best Of 2008 lists come December.
Music Buzz The Australian-born former child actor is making a splash with his futuristic funk that is as progressive as it is a throwback to eighties New Wave. Despite oozing a hipster aesthetic of dressing like an extra on the set of White Men Can’t Jump (and waiting for you to appreciate it), Sparro backs up his colorful style with a signature sound that proves he is, in fact, the real deal.
Music Buzz The boy-girl self-described “fantasy rock” duo is quietly making a name for themselves on the East Coast as they continue to draw comparisons to Postal Service and Broken Social Scene. Alongside labelmates MGMT, Savoir Adore is continuing in Brooklyn’s tireless fight to conquer the iTunes library of the skinny-jeans-and-bedhead set.
Music Buzz Meet the newest, hippest purveyors of “noise music.” Although such categorization may sound like a torture method straight out of Gitmo, the kids are loving it.
Music Buzz People are saying good things about her upcoming album of Tom Waits covers, Anywhere I Lay My Head. While the idea of an actor doing a concept album would usually make us shiver, ScarJo has apparently pulled it off.
