Wild Nothing - Shadows

The Wild Nothing is a one man pop band with that one man being Jack Tatum. Jack seems to dream up an ambient like softness with a gentle pop. He has a new album coming out later this summer called Nocturne and the first song released is titled Shadow. Check out the track and stay tuned for the album.

Blu & Exile To Release Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them

 In December of 2011 Blu & Exile posted a steam to their follow up to Below The Heavens. It was a highly anticipated album that fans got a taste of early.

The new album will be released September 4th.

Phantogram Has A Mouthful Of Diamonds

Phantogram is a duo from the states and they play mostly indie style pop music. With only one studio album out and a few EPs these guys are gaining a lot of attention. It also helps that they have toured with pretty much everyone in the 'indie pop world'.

I'm really liking this track from '09 titled Mouthful of Diamonds.

There's No Leaving Now

    The Tallest Man On Earth has finally released his 3rd studio album There's No Leaving Now today on Dead Oceans. I have been counting down the days for this one and I am definitely not disappointed.
The single1904 holds the same consistent energy heard off of his previous albums while songs like the title track There's No Leaving Now have a new softness. This shows a clear evolution not just in song structure but in a new diversity of instruments, bringing woodwinds and pianos into the mix. Easily one of the best folk albums of 2012. Worth the purchase and the download.
