It looks pretty decent, but it's still a little pricey, which is no surprise.
In other musical news, especially considering the fact that no one has posted in quite sometime, I have a couple artists/albums I would like to share.
1. Liz Durrett - Outside Our Gates
Liz Durrett is a singer-songwriter from Athens, Georgia, and her most recent album was released on Warm Records. With vocals that are reminiscent of Norah Jones (but better), this album is soothing, but still retains a dark undertone that keeps you interested. Each song is stripped down, but still complemented by haunting string arrangements that add to the feel of the album. Overall, "Outside Our Gates" helps Durrett standout in a sea of overly-commercialized singer-songwriters, and puts her at the level of a respectable musician. I recommend checking out the track "The Sea a Dream" first.
Matt & Kim - Grand
This album is straight-up pop/dance/musical greatness. Sure it has a cheesy undertone, but I guarantee that it's still worth a listen. Each song is jam-packed with heavy synth & drums, and all-around good time. So don't expect to hear the next great music duo of our generation, but take it for what it is, a lot of fun. Make sure you check out their song "Spare Change," it's short, but still good.
Dear and the Headlights - Drunk Like Bible Times
I still remember the first time I saw this band, it was October of 2006, and they had won a contest to perform at Bamboozle Left. The band performed an energized show for a crowd of about 20 people, and gave away their 5 track EP for free. To say that these guys have matures since their previous album, Small Steps Heavy Hooves, is a major understatement. While their lyrics can be a bit melodramatic, overall this album is a lot of fun, with plenty of catchy hooks that will be stuck in your head all day. And look at them now, they're one of the artists in the line-up for Coachella. Check out their song "Saintly, Rows (Oh Oh)."
