New Music for 2010

Thought I would share some music with you that I've discovered since returning from Germany. But first I want to say Lala is a great site that will let you preview a whole album, has cheap music downloads, and an impressive music library.

Lost in the Trees
A local NC band that I got to see perform in Asheville. Last month they performed with the orchestra at NCSSM.

The Heavy
You've probably heard this song before if you've been watching TV lately. It's being used in a Kia commercial. I first heard of them thanks to David Letterman. He liked them so much he had them play the song twice.

Adiam Dymott
You can never escape Swedish music.

Rain Machine
I was so happy the first time I heard this song. I thought it was a new TV on the Radio song, but it's actually for a side project one of the members.

Brandi Carlile
Paste Magazine said her last album was one of the best of 2009. I had never heard of her before, but I agreed with their assessment after hearing this song.

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes
First heard this song on WNCW and thought it was brilliant. I know how to play it, but I don't have anyone to sing it with.

Yeasayer
They've been playing this song a lot on the World Cafe. An appropriately odd video for an odd song.
