I love em. On Your Porch would be my favourite song, but maybe not too representative of their usual overall sound.

Alter-Ego

Hmmm.....*thinks*

The Von Bondies - Pawn Shoppe Heart

Mark Lanegan - Bubblegum

Pacifico

What kind of stuff are you into?

Den_M

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Me Your Bones

Lunar Junkie

Metallic Falcons - Desert Doughnuts - this is my favourite new album of the last couple of weeks... dark, expansive and spooky sounding, features one of the sisters from the band Cocorosie. Here's a couple of songs for you to hear...

Snakes & Tea

Sufjan Stevens! Think thats how you spell it!

I recommend Boy Kill Boy's debut album if you're looking for an nu-indie band with a bit of spunk and I recommend Peter Bjorn And John - Writers Block - if your're looking for something laid back in a classicaly sense of nu-folk with some cool thrown in and finally I recommend either Matthew Herbert's Scale or Rosin Murphy's Ruby Blue if you're looking for some ambient, funk alternative with a bit of snap crackle and pop.

tis' so good that i wrote about it on my brand new blog. (having issues with myblog so it's only working in Firefox for some reason, here is what i said..)

Up to about two months ago I had never heard of Matthew Herbert. Thankfully I got my hands on Rosin Murphy’s amazing album Ruby Blue and was so impressed with her offerings that I checked out Herbert, the producer of Ruby Blue.

Herbert released Scale approx two months ago. It features more than 723 samples derived from such studio rarities such as coffins, meteorites, an RAF Tornado bomber and some bloke puking his ring up outside of a restaurant. So how does that all sound after it’s being thrown into a blender for sixty odd minutes?

Delightful!

Scale is an eclectic mix (who would of thought) of punk-jazz-orchestral fuelled bingo bongo sexified melodies. Scale has buckets of musical snap crackle and pop! From the opening track, Something Isn’t Right, which features the sexiest vocal arrangement I have ever heard, to the almost sound of music-esque We Are In Love, there are no stop gaps on Scale.

Herbert will never be a famous commercial producer which in my opinion is always a good thing as his music is so unique. It would be a shame for him to parade his talent on the same stage as some of the muck that can is currently gracing the music charts.

Herberts Scale comes highly recommended, make some room on that coffee table!

Great choice! Nice to see The Drones getting some attention. I had the great luck to see them a couple of times in Berlin in some TINY clubs. A friend of mine has played lots of gigs with them and got me listening. Nice guys (and girl) too!
