M. Ward's newest release Hold Time is a masterpiece. If you are a music lover, you have to check out this record. Every song is amazing and composed wonderfully. I suggest you take a listen if you haven't already! I love it!
The indie-folk rock band out of Baltimore has called it quits. They're were rumors of the bands breakup all through 2008 and finally a blog post on their Myspace page confirmed it early this year.
"To speak officially [of the split] hadn't seemed necessary. We're all still much involved in making music. It will all just happen inside different names. Once an idea has run it's course, one must move along."
The band released 3 albums; in 2005 they released Come, I'm A Lion; in 2006 they released Hello, Dear Wind; and in 2007 their last, and not as impressive as the first two, Page France And The Family Telephone. Lead vocalist Michael Nau contributes his time to the band Cotton Jones Basket Ride. Page France's music is cheery and feel-good and always a good listen.
Id have to say that Andrew Birds newest release Noble Beast is one of the best of the year so far. It is full of his signature whistles and catchy lyrics, as always. He is currently on tour so look to see if he is coming to your city. In 2007 his album Armchair Apocrypha was widely hailed as one of the best albums of the year.
Peasant (aka Damien DeRose) came out with a new album, On The Ground, yesterday and its great! I suggest you go out and get a copy if you like indie/folk rock.
My current obsession. Passion Pit. "The Chunk of Change EP was originally put together as a (belated) Valentine’s Day present to Angelakos’ girlfriend which then prompted him to give it out to friends and fellow students at Emerson College. Angelakos wrote and recorded the entire record by himself and it only hints at what is to come from this extremely talented perfectionist. The production of the recording - brief, sporadic, and explosive - worked towards the development of Angelakos’ signature euphoric and blissfully melancholic sound"
