Twin Sister - Ginger

A friend recommended that I check out Twin Sister this weekend and I’m really glad I did.  They’ve got some really wonderful tunes - and a free EP! - lazy, fuzzy, slowed-down Arcade Fire meets Cat Power.

The Horrors - Whole New Way

After hearing about this band all over the place for the longest time and for some reason not checking them out (over hype?), I am so happy to finally break the ice with *this* song and video.  Please do yourself a favor.  Break the ice.

Listen to The Alps’ record III over at the Type Records site who sez, “III feels like a lost soundtrack to some crumbling Italian surrealist classic with its pounding basslines and swirling synthesizers. This is visual music, inspired by the likes of Werner Herzog, Alejandro Jordorowsky and Michaelangelo Antonioni…”
Exactly.
