i searched for the more comprehensive thread we had going a while ago, but had no idea what the keywords should be...anywhoooo....some really good music released recently(this week in fact), just a brief synopsis of recent stuff
Father John Misty(hate his antics, but love his music), this new album doesn't suck at all.
Future Islands - if you haven't listened to them, you need to, and if you have listened to them and didn't like them, do a youtube search of the band on david letterman, the lead singer is pretty freaking intense, but their music should stand for itself, and again, the new album is spectacular
Craig Finn...another highly unrated/unkonwn artist. The lead singer of the Hold Steady, writes some incredible songs, great lyricist, and very dynamic live performer.
haven't even touched on Son Volt, Robert Randolph, Spoon, Elbow etc.....
so much great music, so little time.
