Hot Chip - Hand Me Down Your Love
Pretty impressed that Hot Chip can write great songs without tons of effects. The whole album is great, check it out.

Dawes - Love Is All I Am
Finally saw Dawes live for the first time last night. Unbelievable. Noah likes to hype them up a lot so I tried to manage my own expectations. But they were simply incredible. Their album is so good and yet they were much better live. If our musically tastes are in any ways similar, make sure you give this album a couple spins. No idea why they aren’t huge already…

Balmorhea - Settler
Super fun instrumental track. Reminds me of something but can’t think of what. Thanks WeAreHunted!

Bibio - Lover’s Carvings
I am finally getting to go through all the year-end review lists. As is usual I missed lots of great stuff. This Bibio album is one of the first standouts.

Sondre Lerche - Blush (Animal Collective cover)
I love a good cover. This really highlights how amazing Animal Collective’s music is. Strip away all the crazy instrumentation and effects, and you still have an ridiculously awesome song.

JAMm09
It’s that time of year again. The fifth installment of my annual mix CD is finished. JAMm09 is 77 minutes from my favorite bands of the last year. How I select songs:
- From one of my favorite albums of 2009 (did not need to be released in 2009 just needs to be when I was introduced to it)
- A song that is one of the most accessible from that album
- It is better if the artist has not appeared in a JAMm before
Go to http://bit.ly/4mRhIz to download the mix.

Surfer Blood - Swim (To Reach The End)
Yes, I am delinquent. Remember when I said I would post 3 tracks a week? Maybe I mean’t 3 tracks a month. Although I don’t think I am hitting that even. Sorry! I love those of you that are sticking with me even more because of it. ;)
So, here is Surfer Blood. Indie surf rock with hints of Vampire Weekend and lots of reverb.

Florence & The Machine - You’ve Got The Love (The XX Remix)
This song started blasting after The XX finished their set on Sunday. I don’t know if I have ever heard a song related to the band play immediately after their set? It worked. Good remix.
