COUPLE THERAPY | TROLLE SIEBENHAAR

the danish duo trolle siebenhaar from copenhagen make feel good musik that stands out. and i can't get enough of the song sweet dogs.

PERCH PATCHWORK | MAPS & ATLASES

maps & atlases (what a great name for a band!) are from chicago and made with perth patchwork a folksy rock record with a lot of great songs on it. listen to solid ground – gotta love it!

SIGH NO MORE | MUMFORD & SONS

i just have a thing for folk music. with sigh no more the londoners of mumford & sons didn't reinvent the wheel, but it's still a pretty likeable record. and come on! who doesn't at least tap their feet to little lion man?

LIGHTMARES | BEAT! BEAT! BEAT!

speaking of foals - beat! beat! beat! is the name of an up and coming german band from cologne. they just released their debut lightmares and i find it pretty promising. they doubtless sound like you have to sound and look like you have to look these days, but made something fresh and fun out of it. they're young (19ish i think - boy i'm old!) so let's see what they'll come up with next.

ANTIDOTES | FOALS

with antidotes foals released a brilliant debut record. thats what this is!

WORK | SHOUT OUT LOUDS

what can i say... walls, fall hard, show me something new... there sure are some gems on this record.

SANTOGOLD | SANTOGOLD

an all time favorite.
