it was suggested that i post some of my current musical interests here. because i need to get back into the swing of things and have just about this much motivation and energy to do so, here goes. some of the most noteworthy stuff i've been enjoying during the last year or so.
of monsters and men - no doubt you've heard the single "little talks" (as well you should), which is indicative of the brilliance of the rest of their album.
the soil and the sun - saw them perform live at a friend's apartment here in south bend, fresh off their appearance at this year's SXSW. entrancing.
the milk carton kids - a.k.a., kenneth pattengale & joey ryan, they had a stint opening for over the rhine last year, and they were a surprising treat.
the bergamot - totally local, totally amazing. think adele meets jack johnson with a little dave matthews thrown in the mix. absolutely loving them for who they are and their music alike. they also performed at my friend's apartment - as a fundraiser for my next india trip.
the lumineers - just discovered these guys from denver when i introduced someone at work to of monsters and men. i think it was a fair trade.
the head and the heart - a friend told me i had to listen to this band about a year ago, and i didn't regret it. she owed me anyway. i was the first one to show her the magic of over the rhine live.
alexi murdoch - didn't discover this guy till the opening scene of "real steel." actually really loved the movie as well as "all my days." bonus.
el ten eleven - i know, i know. they've been around awhile, but unless you're a mac geek, you might not have heard of them - though you have probably heard their music somewhere, in the background, secretly being fabulous.
chris bathgate - truthfully, i owe starbucks for this one. i'm gonna go ahead and say the salty price tag on my espresso drink balanced out the other treasure i discovered that day. i consider him local as well, since he hails from michigan.
the kills - saw them at lollapalooza last summer. nothing but vocals and guitar with the help of a drum machine and overwhelming chemistry.
hope some of you discover a new love via this post. enjoy!
