Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

Okay, I take back what I said yesterday. I claimed that the next 14 days would feature my favorite artists. Well, I decided I would switch it up a little bit. We're going alphabetically baby. My favorite artists from A-Z, no reposts. So this next little while should be pretty interesting. I'll be doing a little soul searching to try and whittle down which artists are absolutely essential to my collection. Almost all of the bands I listen to have formed an emotional connection to me through the music, so it's hard to write off a band just because it starts with the same letter as a band I may like more, but so it goes. Let's get this thing underway with an absolutely wonderful album by Arcade Fire, Neon Bible.

Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours

Now for something a little different. I realize I've been posting a lot of indie lately, so let's switch it up a little bit. For the next 14 days I will post a wide sample of my music library. Every day will have a new album, and hopefully a new genre. The albums will all be of my favorite artists, they may not be as 'underground' or hard to find as most of the stuff you listen to, but it will be of the utmost quality, I assure you. So, yay for that, and here's my favorite electronic band. Very similar to The Killers, but with enough mojo and variation to set themselves apart from the crowd, Cut Copy manages to woo me over with their unique, catchy lyrics and rhythms. This is quite a feat, since I usually don't enjoy techno/electronica. Enjoy this little break from the pretentiousness for the next two weeks, and kick off the party with Cut Copy.

Arctic Monkeys - Humbug

I enjoy the Arctic Monkeys. A lot. Maybe even too much. Since I've been listening to them quite frequently throughout this past week I've decided to give others a chance to listen to this exceptional band. I think I partake in the Arctic Monkeys so often because they just don't sound like anything else that I have. Maybe I'm just sorely lacking on Brit Rock, but so it goes. Some individuals have touted this album as 'album of the year', but I'm not sure I agree. It is very good, but the year isn't quite over yet, who knows what other goodness we could see. Anyways, enjoy this 2009 release, Humbug.

Copy Haho - Bred For Skills & Magic

Copy Haho is a alternative band from Scotland ready to warm your heart and then rock it out. Their five-track EP, Bred For Skills & Magic is on the label Big Scary Monsters, and the music is ace. Reminiscent of Pavement, and ligers, who are bred for their skills in magic (Psst-I'm trying to make a funny). Anyways, the EP is the only release that I know of, so enjoy it and hope for more from...Copy Haho

Mew - No More Stories Are Told Today, I'm Sorry, They Washed Away

I'm afraid I'm extremely poor, I actually don't even have one dollar. I would love to be able to sell some t-shirts with album covers on them for profit, but unfortunately America has all these 'copyright laws' and nonsense. It's a damn shame, because some of these covers would look magnificent on a solid color tee, and these indie bands are well...indie, so they don't market themselves at all. Perhaps if I can find some other way for my dear readers to proclaim their musical dominance over others I'll post it up, but for now I'll wallow in my pity. This is economy is brutal my friends.

In the meantime, enjoy some Mew. They're Danish, and refer to themselves as "pretentious art rock", so it's right on the money for what most hipsters are listening to. If I had to describe the sound, I would say indie with a dash of electronica and prog thrown in some of the tracks. Good stuff, doesn't exactly jump out of the crowd as far as uniqueness and re-listenability (not a real word obviously) but they are a solid band. Mew also wins the award for "Longest Album Title" in my library.

Dutch Uncles - S/T

The Dutch Uncles are a very interesting band. They just have such a unique sound, they don't really come close to resembling any other group. Classified as 'alternative/jazz', I think of Dutch Uncles as Indie Rock but with greater technical proficiency of the instruments and a generally tighter focus on the structure of the song. There is a very relaxed, confident feel to the tracks and it's quite unique. Dutch Uncles are a great band, give them a listen.
