What I'm Digging Right Now
2007 is barely underway and we are already surrounded by a slew of great new albums. Here's what I've been listening to:
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
This may be an album of the year contender. I was a huge fan of their debut Funeral, yet this album is so much better. Dark, politically charged songs that really capture the world's mood right now.
:::Arcade Fire - No Cars Go:::
Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha
Still not sure if I like this as much as ...Eggs, but if it's not as good it's very close.
:::Andrew Bird - Scythian Empire:::
The Go Find - Stars on the Wall
This young band out of Belgium is really blowing me away. The singer's voice sounds similar to Ben Gibbard, but the music and production has an 80's feel not unlike Toto or Hall & Oates...but in the best possible way. Incredible!
:::The Go Find - New Year:::
Panda Bear - Person Pitch
Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), as you may know, is one of the primary members of the band Animal Collective. While I love Animal Collective, this album is much better than any of their material that I have heard. This is what Brian Wilson might sound like if he was in his twenties now. Brilliant.
:::Panda Bear - Bros:::
The new one from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is a pretty big disappointment. I liked their first one OK, but the new album is terrible. No matter what Pitchfork tells you.
