It's been awhile since I did a new music post. There's no real theme to this one, just new music I've found that I don't think too many other people have heard.
Ra Ra Riot - Apparently they've been getting a lot of play on college radio, but here they are in case you haven't heard of them. They fall into the genre of chamber pop because of their use of stringed instruments kind of like the Arcade Fire.
Chad VanGaalen - Before you click, let me warn you that the video is rather strange, however, I think the song is really captivating.
The Hoosiers - A British band that Welsh Dan introduced me to. So I've known about them for awhile, but I don't think I've shared them here. Their music is pretty entertaining.
Black Mountain - Rather outside my usual music, but I enjoy it. Kind of has a classic rock sound, but darker.
Those Dancing Days - This band is so Swedish it hurts.
Cut Copy - Electronica! Kind of a throw back to the early Nineties, but I love the singers voice. Also, the video for Hearts on Fire is kind of cute.
Amanda Palmer - Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls released a solo album and it's fantastic. I saw her in concert recently and it was amazing.
The Builders and the Butchers - Unfortunately, this band doesn't have an actual music video yet, but for concert footage, the audio is pretty good. They were the opening act for Amanda Palmer and they put on a great show.
Cloud Cult - Some of you might remember the Princess Bride Song that they did some years ago. Basically everyone at WDCE just played that one song and ignored the rest of their stuff, but I kind of liked it in all it's quirkiness. Since then they've put out some really fantastic albums that deserve to be listened to.
