The Antlers - Shiva - A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
Gotta love La Blogotheque!
Oh god, the first 15 seconds are the exact same tone as the fire alarm at my hall. Fuck. Just listening to it reminds me of standing outside on the grass at 4am, cold and tired (and possibly hungover) as all hell.

New Obsession: Local Natives
I found a new British band called the Local Natives, and I’m hooked!
It has a Grizzly Bear vocal feel to it and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. The only bad thing is that I can’t seem to find any information about their newly released (only in the UK) album Gorrilla Manor or any information about their songs… meaning right now I’m relying on youtube rips for my Local Natives...

Florence and the Machine and The xx in Singapore?!
Apparently Florence and the Machine is coming to Singapore on February 7th 2010, with The xx as their opening act!! It’s part of the Laneway Festival in Australia, and after their stop in Perth they will be stopping over in Singapore!
Let’s hope so! Though I don’t know anyone who will be interested to go with me =[ I need some friends.

Mumford and Sons
Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons
Reminds me a bit of The Arcade Fire with vocals that are like a hybrid of Bright Eyes and Modest Mouse.
Quite chill; I like.

Mystery Jets
I’ve been addicted to this song for weeks!
Initially, the verses kind of sound like that song from Music and Lyrics but after listening to it a couple of times it is actually really different and SO much better than that Music and Lyrics song. Also how catchy is that bit:
One night of love Nothing more nothing less One night of love To put my head in the mess Is that you on the bus,...

The Amazingness that is Phoenix
The fact that they are Parisian and that the lead guitarist wears nerdy glasses and has messy hair makes this band even more amazing.
They have a blog themselves, filled with photos (which looks like they are taken with a Holga! Triple win)

Now let me introduce the second love of both Holly and I!

Naissance
Dear Caryn,
Today you said to me:
“Oh and we should set up a blog for all these awesome music findings hahaa it would be so much easier, we could just check it often =]”
And so… I give you this: the alpha release of our music blog. It’s currently untitled and not very customised so do what you like to it; the plaid is a little cliché but I kind of like it (thoughts?);...
