Jónsi - Go 2010


i really wish this album was crushed into 30 seconds so the entire thing could be my alarm everyday. it is so absurdly beautiful and awesome and life-affirming in uncomfortably effective ways. i am gay for jonsi and his tiny, tiny arms.


anyway, the album is perfect, and i really wish i had gotten to see him last march. and if for some reason you dont recognize his name, hes the guy standing in front of sigur ros wearing weird shit and singing falsetto.

Freelance Whales - Weathervanes (2009)




Just found this. It makes me smile with my heart. Never sure whether I'm ahead, wrong or behind the curve with things I like. Sounds like a culmination of other folk pop stuff that's been done before.

The Rural Alberta Advantage - Hometowns (2009)




This album was my AOTY from last year. Amazing "indie" pop/folk rock from - you guessed it - Torontonians! The drumming on this album is incredible, and the subtle hints of synth are thrown in at just the right times. Listen to it, I guarantee you'll like it.

listen.

Woods - At Echo Lake 2010


oh wow i was not expecting this one at all. its like if current deerhunter was more fun. its like...the late 60's! all over the place! mixed with any arcade fire that doesnt suck ass.

Madaline Ava - Songs I'm Too Nervous to Sing for My Mom (2008?)


Madaline Ava is an adorable, wonderful, silly little high school girl from bumfuck no where who writes and sings adorable fluffy songs about being a member of Gorilla Biscuits, and puns. She also has an album where she covers Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over the Sea in it's entirety. Albeit a little shortened. Listen to this with a girl and fall in love.
