Some of my favorite artists released new albums within the past few weeks.
Neko Case’s “Middle Cyclone”
I just purchased this album the other day and after listening to over half this album, I can safely say I love it.
Beirut’s “March of the Zapotec/Holland”
Other EP’s have expored the sounds of Eastern Europe, “The Flying Club Cup” probes into Parisian music, and this new release explores Mexican music. Beruit even intergrates a local Mexican band with their own sound. (My mom thought that The Flying Club Cup sounded Mexican…I wonder what she will make of this new EP). The “Holland” portion pays homage to Zach Condon’s beginnings of experimenting with techno music in his room. Zac Condon's a musical genuis and I love the fact that he has musical ADD - he never stays on task and keeps innovating new sounds.
Andrew Bird’s “The Noble Beast”
I already dedicated a whole page to Andrew Bird, and two consecuitive posts would seem stalkerish…so just listen to it people!
A brilliant month for music.
