Junius - The Martyrdom Of Catastrophist

I can't remember how I came across Junius all I know is I'm glad I did. I know I read on someone's blog that it was highly recommended, but their link was dead so I had to do a search and find it on my own. Anyway, the album "The Martyrdom Of Catastrophist" starts out quite slow and builds in a great way. I sort of see them as Explosions in the Sky if EitS had a vocalist.

Check out their video below.



If you enjoy the video check out their album "The Martyrdom Of Catastrophist."

Dark Was The Night - A Red Hot Compilation

Dark Was The Night Compilation was procuded by Aaron & Bryce Dessner of The National.
I came across the "Dark Was The Night" compilation (which is one of the best I've heard in a while) via this blog's Top 25 List for the first half of 2009. The list by the way is very good check it out for yourself. I wanted to post this along with Jónsi & Alex's "Riceboy Sleeps" as it's the compilation that lead me to the album to begin with along with some other very good artists/tracks.

One of which you can check out below is Feist & Ben Gibbard's "Train Song."

Jónsi & Alex - Riceboy Sleeps

I first heard Jónsi & Alex via the "Dark Was The Night" compilation, which is amazing and I suggest that everyone checks it out. I heard the song "Happiness" and had to research the group. I found out that it was a side project of the lead singer of Sigur Rós whom I love and had to check out their album "Riceboy Sleeps."

Check out the the song "Happiness" below...



If you like the song, check out the album "Riceboy Sleeps" below.

Hilltop Hoods - State Of The Art

I came across Hilltop Hoods a little over a year ago now around the time of the Summer Olympics in '08. I had started working on my World Mix (if you consider yourself a versatile music connoisseur definitely check it out...I put in a couple months of time on that compilation) via My Other Blog at the time and wanted to find an artist I liked from Australia. I wound up coming across the hip-hop group Hilltop Hoods and was definitely not let down by their music.

This is the video I discovered them through...pretty sweet tricks & catchy track.



Here's their new album entitled "State Of The Art" I hope you enjoy.

Delta Spirit - Ode To Sunshine

I stumbled across Delta Spirit one night on a massive indie binge and immediately fell in love with their style/album. They remind me a bit of Cold War Kids possibly because they toured
with them and sound a lot like them?

Anyway, check out the video below.

Boat Club - Caught The Breeze

I came across Boat Club a while ago through my friend Nick. They're an amazing 2-man band from what you'd think would be Hawaii, but is in reality Sweden. Their sound is unique and will make you feel like your on an island while most likely bringing a smile to your day. Enjoy!

Check them out playing live below.
