Four “Indie” Christmas Music Albums

Last year, I wrote a post entitled 11 Great Indie Christmas Music Tunes featuring music from Future of Forestry, Jimmy Eat World, Sufjan Stevens, and Jack Johnson. This year, I thought I’d share a few more indie Christmas tunes of my 2009 Christmas.

Paper Route – Thank God the Year is Finally Over

This EP contains two tracks, both of which are awesome. They…

Future of Foresty – Travel II – Listen!

Future of Forestry’s second installment of their four part EP series arrived a few months ago, and it’s time you hear it too. Oh yes, it is time.

I’m honestly too lazy to write more about the band, other than they’re pure, unfiltered, awesomeness, so here’s what I said about them previously:
Hailing from San Diego, CA, they’re automatically cooler than most of us. But unlike many…

Death Cab for Cutie – Meet Me On The Equinox

Death Cab for Cutie just released a new single on the Twighlight Saga: New Moon soundtrack entitled Meet Me On The Equinox, and it’s better than any of the songs on their most recent release, Narrow Stairs. (By the way, if you still haven’t picked up the Open Door EP then you should check it out).

If you’re like, “WTF is an equinox?” here’s a…

Oliver the Penguin – Similar to Postal Service

Oliver the Penguin is a chill, relaxing, and soothing group who is more than a girly version of the Postal Service, they’ve got their own thing going on and it’s rad. The band is two people: Tommy Walter from the Eeels / Abandon Pools, and Rie Sinclair who is Emmy-Nominated independent composer. Apparently, the group started when attempting to write a song for a TV show, realized they…

Thirteen Senses

Thirteen Senses‘ lead vocalist, Will South, might remind you of Mew’s lead singer (but, not quite as awesome). This piano driven British band with a clean guitar supplementing the tunes is fairly melodic and worth a listen, but you may found yourself ‘in like’ but not quite in love. Listen to a few tracks, and you be the judge.

Thirteen Senses has been picking…

Some More Imogen Heap Remixes

I recently wrote about Twistival.fm – a music + twitter method for raising money. Imogen Heap handed out her tracks, and let anyone and everyone create some remixes — all you had to do is tweet about it and donate $5.00 through Twitter. Anyhow, here are those remixes…a lot of them just blow, but I really liked the @blkrblt remix:

And…Imogen just posted 12…

Listen to Copleand – You are My Sunshine Album

If you don’t like Copeland, you’re probably sick of reading about them. However, if you do like them; read on. After purchasing the album, I think it lacks a bit of punch. I still like it, and it’s growing on me; but it’s not as good as the last few albums. I’ve included a few tracks, so decide for yourself.

Holiday in Spain

I’m in Spain. I’m sure I’m loving it…I wrote this before I left. But, because I’m in Spain…I’m pretty sure every song, every piece of music, will be way better as I stare out over the Mediterranean from a giant cliff.

And, a few particular songs came to mind…

New Aqualung – Words and Music – Listen

It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long since Aqualung’s latest album, “Memory Man” which you can hear a track from in my latest Aqualung post, or on the mixtape.

Aqualung’s new disc arrives on October 7, and is a compilation of new songs, old songs…

Copeland’s New Track “Grey Man” & a DVD – You Are My Sunshine

Copeland is coming out with a new album, “You Are My Sunshine” and they just put up a track off that disc on their MySpace page. It’s amazing. It’s called “The Grey Man.” Go check it out.
I also just found out they’re putting out a DVD with the new disc!
