Milo Greene

Hmmm, just came across this group.
I like their sound, especially the hint of a female vocal.


Milo Greene is a band based out of Los Angeles.
Unfortunately haven't seen any shows on the east coast yet.


I don't know if it's their EP or the beginning of an album, 
but the group has a few songs out already on The Hello Sessions. 
Whatever it is, I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Fleet Foxes

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain this morning. Thought of this album.

Fleet Foxes' new album, Helplessness Blues, is beautiful.
They are one of my select artists to listen to while running outside.
Maybe it's the whole "one with nature" ideal they seem to draw on.
Maybe it's because I'm strange.


The album came out a little over two weeks ago.
It's purpose is more complex compared to Sun Giant or Fleet Foxes.
The focus is on the lyrics, with respect to the instrumentation, 
rather than on the harmonies.

The Avett Brothers

A personal favorite of mine.
Hadn't even heard of these guys until my brother suggested I give them a shot.
I clearly have an issue with folksy men with long hair and the occasional beard.

(Quick note: The guy in the middle is not a brother.  Pity.)


Need I say more?

Horse Feathers

It's really all about the instruments.
If you throw in a ton of instruments, each given an intricate part to play...
you'll have me hooked.


Plus, there's nothing like feel-good music. Live.

Horse Feathers
Found Horse Feathers awhile ago; some music I like more so than others.
I like "Waltz." I like "Waltz" a lot.
