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.

5. Tweltfth (yes this is how it's spelled)

Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine


Abrasive and upbeat, Death from Above 1979 is a now split-up 'dance-punk' duo from Toronto, Canada. The beats are solid and enjoyable, the riffs hook you almost immediately, and the vocals are not bad. On several songs the singer's voice tends to grate against the nerves, but that's mostly because I'm just not a big fan of high-pitched, distorted voice. If you go into a lower register, hey it's fine with me, but once you start screaming, yikes.
I imagine that this is the band that most of those stupid 'hardcore' scene bands wish they were. I hesitate to say that last statement, because I'm sure I'll get hate for implying that DFA1979 is hardcore, but in the area where I live all of our 'hardcore' bands pretty much try to sound like a very weak version of this band, but with horrendous breakdowns. There are some hardcore-esque techniques employed in the band's sound, specifically the blast beats in the opening of "Cold War" and the vocal techniques. The strained, 'about-to-have-a-hernia' scream omnipresent in hardcore also makes an appearance in several tracks. Death From Above 1979 is heavy, fast, and fun, a strange combination but it works beautifully.
