...musicians: Bon Iver, Portastatic's Mac McCaughan, and Ashley Stove's Jim Brantley all contribute.

2008-09-24 18:26:00 by Captain Obvious in Captain Obvious
...band TV On The Radio's new album Dear Science is a little less avant-garde and a little more... well, dancy. Any time a band makes a bold step in a new direction it's admirable and the album is being considered by many critics as the band's best material, though I'm not sure if I'm willing to jump on that bandwagon.

Damien Jurado: Caught In The Trees (2008)

The Article has images
2008-09-22 21:29:00 by Captain Obvious in Captain Obvious
New Wax Seattle's Damien Jurado has cemented himself as a veteran of indie folk-rock and his recent releases have been predominantly somber journeys so the more upbeat feel of his new album Caught In The Trees seems like a sensible respite for the songwriter. Background vocalist Jenna Conrad adds an interesting element to the material and the...
