A thread for anything you are enjoying which perhaps hasn't been mentioned much/at all on the soapbox. Heres a couple of records I've been enjoying. Cake - Showroom of CompassionSaw these at Latitude 3 or 4 years back & really enjoyed them. Had downloaded Fashion Nugget years ago but never really bothered with it. Really enjoyed this, sort of playful pop music along the lines of Eels, SFA & the quirkiness of Divine Comedy.  Ringo Deathstarr - Colour TripSaw these support the Pains a couple of years back. The album basically sounds like My Bloody Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. Anyone into that sort of thing will probably enjoy it.  |

None of these are truly new, aside Young Galaxy, but definitely not mentioned much... Tamaryn - The Waves  Very Beach House-y, Mazzy Star-ish, but very good. I found this album after I made my best-of list by reading another list on some website and was very impressed. Young Galaxy - Shapeshifting  Electro pop, very intriguing vocals, may be a bit dreary for some. Sounds like it could be on Twin Peaks. Im loving the record though Wye Oak - The Knot This is Wye Oak's first record. Their second comes out very soon. Saw them live a few weeks ago and was pretty much blown away. Kind of a rock/folky sound. And the requisite addition... |

Thought that Cake song was a bit boring but I really enjoyed the Ringo Deathstarr track. Downloading their album now, nice one. Sadly the only new music I come across nowadays (especially since my what.cd died) is from here so I can't really recommend anything that hasn't been mentioned on here before. Downloading the Wye Oak album off the back of that track too, it's superb.  Keep them coming. |

well here's this newish finnish band. their debut is semi-awesome, sometimes it tries a bit too hard, but still am excited to see them live for the first time tomorrow. lyrics are a big part of their appeal, so that's a bit lost on you guys, the melodies and general sound are great anyways, and those are universal things, innit?

Fuck me Ringo Deathstarr are mega I recommend Hey Rosetta! - SeedsThe forth release, second EP, from a band from my hometown in St. John's Newfoundland, they're getting some huge press lately and are looking to be one of the best bands in Canada. www.youtube.com/watchv=8JYzp7wKhGQ |

Yer Spring is a fucking tune man. Seeds is a really awesome album as well.. although I find the last few songs a bit dull it's still one of the best I heard this year.

Think i got all of these today. Except for the canadian album, not really sure what to think of the reviews of it here :/
I recommend Anna Calvi s/t
it's pretty good, pretty dark and it kinda sound like Wye Oak.

Yea, shes great, Findus. Seeing her soon as well. Her record is a bit strange, but her guitar playing is really impressive.

 Dream Diary - You Are The Beat. In the same vein as The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart/The Orchids/The Field Mice. Wear their influences on their sleeves but really enjoyable stuff. The album's on Sordo. |

i was reading about that dream diary album on a blog a few weeks back and thought it sounded up my street so checked a few tunes out on myspace but they didnt really do much for me. might have to give the whole lp a bash at some point though.

You really should, they're really not offering anything new to the table but there's at least 3-4 really good tunes and the rest is just solid dreamy pop. It makes the waiting for Belong easier at least. |
