Guillemots
A little late to the scene, I know, but I have been completely obsessing over Guillemots lately. Like “The National status”-obsessed.
The indie rock band is composed of 4 members; Fyfe Dangerfield being the lead singer (his solo album Fly Yellow Moon is definitely worth checking out as well) and formed in 2004.
So far, they’ve released two albums, Through the Windowpane (2006),...
Again with the unfollows!

Apparently some folks find talk of tiredness and adorable indie weddings insufferable.
Oh, sorry for just DOIN ME over here.
Prince gets an automatic reblog. Everytime. Always. And I personally like indie weddings.

What do you think of She & Him Volume 2?
Maybe I’m a trader to my generation, but I think She & Him Volume 2 sounds exactly like She & Him Volume 1. I was filled with excitement months prior to the Volume 2 release (as noted in an earlier post), but I find myself disappointed now that I’ve heard it. Maybe I just haven’t given it enough play. What do YOU think?

Le Tigre Blogs About Christina Aguilera Collaboration
By Lindsey Lee with Paste Magazine

For her upcoming album, Bionic, tentatively scheduled for April, Aguilera has logged studio time with an interesting and talented batch of ladies—Goldfrapp, Ladytron, M.I.A.,...

Charlotte Gainsbourg's IRM
After sleeping on this album for a month, I am finally listening to Gainsbourg’s latest. This album, produced entirely by Beck, sounds like futuristic Cat Power with teeny bits of PJ Harvey’s anger… and mysterious French lyrics. I probably won’t be turning it off for awhile.

Paste Mag Reviews Beach House: Teen Dream
Baltimore duo wakes up, shakes up
“Teen Dream sounds just like Beach House and not at all like Beach House. On their first two albums, Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally created warm, lo-fi pop songs that favored subdued ambience over pronounced hooks, as if each song was designed to dissipate in the air between the speakers and your ears. By contrast, the duo’s new songs are less hazy and...
