Old 97s dropped yesterday. So far, so good.

Diggin this new track from The Antlers, "Hotel".

https://soundcloud.com/antirecords/the-antlers-hotel/s-5HuCc

A few tracks/albums for you all...

1. Sylvan Esso - Sylvan Esso. Sounds like.... A mellow Purity Ring.

"Coffee"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUrQ0qka1JY

http://open.spotify.com/album/5Abelpx4c3FzhTOZP3ZIvS


2.Temples - Sun Structures. Sounds like... Palatable Psyc rock (Tame Impala, Black Lips, etc.) with a folk twist.

"Shelter Song"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YDZZlaaKHY

http://open.spotify.com/album/2z6ViXcGvjE0wbKkbwqcmg


3. Lykke Li - I Never Learn. Sounds like... Lykke Li, who I was indifferent about prior to this album, but this seems to captivate me more than her early stuff.

"Gunshot"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SP-PgW7U1M

http://open.spotify.com/album/4fGqfyineAZmulNxgitERh


4. Little Dragon - "Nabuma Rubberband". Sounds like... A turnt down for what version of their previous tracks but not in a bad way. Just expect chill electronic that is more vocal forward than "Ritual Union".

"Klapp Klapp"

Casualties of Cool (Devin Townsend and Che Aimee Dorval)

Atmospheric, bluesy, acoustic music. Really cool stuff.

Should be up on iTunes tomorrow or next week.

"Forgive Me"

Draper is all over XMU

Man, Spotify runs like a dollar store dilly after the update. Ruining my music experience.

Also, "Klapp Klapp" is a jam of the highest order. Reminds me Sterolab's Empire Tomato Ketchup record for some reason. Nicely done.

Black Pistol Fire's new album " Hush and Howl"

Bear Hands.

Saw their Audiotree Live session and like it.

Hooked on Hundred Waters new album The Moon Rang Like a Bell at the moment.

It's on Spotify now. Released May 27. Pitchfork Review.

Would recommend if you think you would like Radiohead with a female lead singer.

Also, the new Sharon Van Etten album ("Are We There") came out last week to a lot of acclaim. Another one likely to show up on a lot of top 10s by year's end based on the buzz.

Umphrey's McGee "Similar Skin"

Absolutely killer stuff.

New alt-J track, "Hunger of The Pine". Interesting sample.

The Antler's new album, "Familiars" is a good, quick listen.

Ab Soul's "These Days" is dropping next Tuesday. His CD before "Control System" is amazing, if you like the TDE hip hop sound. Dude has great word play.

New leader in the clubhouse for best album of 2014 for me...

Andrew Bird - Things are really great here, sort of
