So you're looking for some new music. Here's a list of 10 bands from the near-present you should check out that I haven't reviewed (yet?):
1. Why? - defines Trip-Hop. Heavy beats, awesome lyrics. From Cincinnati/Berkeley/NYC.
2. Bon Iver - Lots of internet hype. Layered mellow indie-folk. Gorgeous. From a cabin in the woods.
3. Dr. Dog - Think 60's rock. Awesome vocals. Great bridges. From Philly.
4. Grizzly Bear - Delicious harmonies. Catchy dissonance. From Brooklyn.
5. TV on the Radio - Multi-influential band with a great new feel. Fun to dance to. From Brooklyn.
6. Lake Street Dive - A little known jazz/folk band from Boston. Awesome. "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
7. Pomegranates - Catchy riffs, rough around the edges, falsetto vocals. From Cincinnati.
8. Black Moth Super Rainbow - Featuring Father Hummingbird and The Seven Fields of Aphelion. Cool guitar work. They use a Rhodes. From Pittsburgh
9. Passion Pit - A little over-hyped post-MGMT high vocals upbeat and fun. From Cambridge.
10. Rupa and the April Fishes - A multi-linguistic mellow and enjoyable feel-good music. From San Francisco.
Enjoy!
