Drown-Out and Download...

So many exciting new things are on the ho-rise-on! I am very excited to hear Feist's new single, "How Come You Never Go There," from her new endeavor, Metals. Judging from the sound, Feist has maintained her somewhat soft, introspective, multi-instrumental approach to love and longing, and she does it oh so well. After listening to The Reminder about a thousand times, I became a huge fan, and so this new album has been a long time coming, four years in fact. The new album hits shelves on October 4th, so if you're anything like me, you've already marked your calendar in anticipation. But, here's the new one to tide you over until that blissful day.



Speaking of new things, Bjork has also released another song from her upcoming album/multimedia project, Biophilia. Now, I cannot denounce the genius of Bjork, but when it comes to her music, my ears have always been a selective receptor as to what songs they choose to let into the soundscape that is my brain. So, I've never become a full-fledged fan, but I have an enormous amount of respect for the work that she's done, and Human Behavior remains a top song in my book. From listening to Moon, I am surprised by the more acoustic approach, with the harp being the main instrument besides her beautiful voice. However, it's a great track, which I definitely recommend. You can listen to it below.



I also heard this song on NME's "10 Tracks You Have To Hear" by Kurt Vile, titled "In/Out Blues." I'm not too familiar with Vile's work, but after hearing this track, I think I'd like to be. You can visit the blog post here. That's all I got for tonight. Peace!
