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…

Do you know: Rosie Thomas

Do you know Rosie Thomas?

Good friends with Sufjan Stevens and Denison Witmer; Rosie Thomas has one of the most beautiful female voices I’ve heard. Very chill — sometimes depressed — and filled with raw lyrics, Rosie Thomas is one of the most underestimated artists I’ve heard.

Listen to Snow Patrol – A Hundred Million Suns

Snow Patrol just released a new album, “A Hundred Million Suns” and while it’s better than their last disc; it still misses the “Final Straw” mark. For those of you who never heard the alumb “Final Straw” that needs to change. The disc “Eyes Open” wasn’t too bad; but it seemed overly poppy and a bit cheesey to me.

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!

UPDATE: Listen to Copeland. Copeland News: New Album – You Are My Sunshine

UPDATE (10.18.08) – Listen:

So 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. They’ve chilled it out a bit…

Redesigning My Blog to Go Big Casino

Hello. Forgive me for not updating in a few days,  my extra time has been taken up redesigning the blog. In the meantime, I thought I’d share with you what keeps me motivated. I have been listening to a lot of Explosions in the Sky and Amiina; but I thought I’d share this.

Amiina – Kurr – Sexfaldur – Think Sigur Ros

Amiina – Sexfaldur from the album Kurr:

I’ve said before that Sigur Ros was the best show I’ve ever seen. When I saw them a few years ago, Amiina was their opening act and they were gorgeous. Four girls, also from Iceland, who make such pretty music…

Listen to Coldplay – Viva La Vida Full Album

For all you Coldplay haters, eat it. Their new disc, “Viva La Vida and Death to All His Friends” just released today. This album is really, really good. Heads and shoulders above X&Y. I’m honestly not a Coldplay…
