Seriously. I can't keep up with the new music this year. And as if I didn't have enough new albums to listen to, I've recently received a couple of fantastic recommendations from my cyber-friends.
What I'm listening to right now is an album called
Horses Of War by the amazing band
Revival.
Tualla turned me on to this one, and although (I'm certain I've mentioned before), she detests
The Decemberists and
reverb, she's from Canada so I have to forgive her... lol. These days my musical tastes are being overrun by HORSES:
Band Of Horses - Everything All The Time
The Besnard Lakes - Are The Dark Horse
Blackstrap - Steal My Horses And Run
Horse Feathers - Words Are Dead
My Brightest Diamond - Bring Me The Workhorse
Rock Plaza Central - Are We Not Horses
Sparklehorse - Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain
The other album of mention today is from a group called
The Tailors, entitled
Wakey Wakey. My friend
Rich (though not the Rich who wrote the review... apparently the UK is just overrun with Rich's... lol) just turned me on to this today, and it is fantastic. Lately, when I think of London artists, I think of such acts as
The Libertines,
Jamie T, or the
Arctic Monkeys.
The Tailors are nothing like what you would expect to come out of the London scene - their sound is pure Americana. Check them out if you love alt-country...
