Another week has come and gone, so it is time for some fresh
picks. You can find my previous selections here.
My Picks of the Week
Jets Overhead -
Seems So Far
(
) I
recommend the entire disc. This is a great example of when indie
rock works. All of my favorite parts of indie are meshed together
in one perfect package.
ARCTIC -
Some One Turning
(
) I definitely
dig this. There is certainly a Radiohead vibe at work here.
Faster
Faster Harder Harder -
Calm Down
(
) I actually know these guys. They are one
of Baltimore's best kept secrets. They have punk sensibilities and
mesh them with influences like The Cure, to create original indie
rock. If you ever get the chance to catch them, they are great
live. When they break into their instrumental sections, it is
absolutely fantastic.
The Station
Myth -
Buried in the Sound
(
) They create music that has a nice atmospheric feel
to it.
The Best of the Rest
Kosha Dillz -
hairy chest 2 hollywood
(
) I don't
pretend to be an expert on rap, but he certainly has game.
Brad Sucks -
Borderline
(
) He started
posting this album last week, but he added the rest. It has a laid
back slacker groove and reminds me a lot of the mid to late
90's.
Love Is
Chemicals -
Everyone Is In On It
(
) Indie rock with a pop feel and a slow groove.
April Hobart -
Dad's Backstep
(
) If you
like bluegrass or folk music, you will enjoy this entire album.
The
Lucky -
The canyon is on fire
(
) Mellow folk music delivered with the kind of gravely
female voice that screams of experience.
Emilie Rose
Bishop -
little curse
(
) An upbeat song with a nice, slow groove. She has a
great voice as well.
