New Owen Pallett thing is up right now. I loved the Ep opener song Oh, Spectrum after listening to Japan (Nightporter), Tim Buckley (Starsailor) this morning. It's quite noticeable that Owen works with Beirut on this historical Spectrum Ep, and love strange odd and arty artists. Final Fantasy is cool for you!

Tracklist:
1. Oh, Spectrum
2. Blue Imelda
3. The Butcher
4. Cockatrice
5. The Ballad of No-Face

Producer, writer, performer and legendary Brian Wilson (Beach Boys leader) releases a brand new album. Despite its hundred percent new songs, it sounds like a nostalgic record from 60s. Oxygen To The Brain, Good Kind Of Love, Forever My Surfer Girl give the retro impression. Brian Wilson exactly knows what kind of songs works in his circle. Although this record makes feel you old, you'd rather not to ask a brand new style since he's a strong musician. Traditional, clear and sentimental.

New The Broken West has leaked, and i downloaded the whole Now Or Heaven. First impression is that this is simpler than debut I Can't Go On, I'll Go On. Embassy Row and House Of Lies are tough songs despite first singles everyday tunes.
The Broken West - Auctioneer

Emilie Simon covers Bowie's pathetic grand control (Space Oddity). This feels like more of Martha Wainwright's childhood singing. Emilie will be playing shows in LA and NY to premier new material from her forthcoming record, arriving in 2009. Oh my god, she has the appearance of an actress from fantasy film

Emilie Simon - Space Oddity

Metronomy's sytnh pop shot Nights Out includes some great moments such as Back On The Motorway.

Metronomy - Back On The Motorway
did you like it? i thought so.

The Sea and Cake seems to be finished new record Car Alarm. Ssssh it's leaked! Fuller Moon is a great song from the album, fresh and perfect indie rock music. You know that i'm a big fan of Tortoise guys. Unfortunately they're disbanded. The Sea and Cake give impression of Tortoise with vocals. Cool music.
I won't share any songs, though.

Rating: 6/10 (edit* increased from 5 to 6 after taking a shower:)
Ninth Of Montreal record prodoced by Kevin Barnes, set to be released on October 7, 2008 on Polyvinyl. Kevin Barnes stated that the album will be composed of hundreds of short segments ranging from thirty to fifty seconds in length. But believe me, these segments are too much for a complete album spin. You also don't have idea what you are listening to. Track previews? Disappointed? No sir, there is no question that it's my favorite band. Liked Skeletal Lamping? I actually don't know if this is what i like. Of Montreal seems to like Bee Gees or they got into the indie dance sound a lot. I miss records like debut Cherry Peel, astounding The Gay Parade and Satanic Panic in the Attic.

Of Montreal had changed a lot since previous Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?. However songs like Cato as A Pun, Suffer for Fashion or She's a Rejecter made that record top-notch. Skeletal Lamping is nothing doing horrible, they get positive reviews. Positive reviews won't be important if you lose your musical soul. Puzzling, contradicting, disturbing, humorous...fantasies, do nothing about it.

Highlights: Wicked Wisdom, An Eluardian Instance, St.Exquisite's Confessions, Id Engager

Of Montreal - Id Engager

1. Bloc Party - Mercury
2. Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl
It's so Lesbian! It's also one of the most downloaded song on internet.
3. Duffy – Stepping Stone
Depressive, crying Duffy will never be your steeping Stone.
4. Keane - Spiralling
5. The Stills - Being Here
6. Glasvegas – Daddy’s Gone
Don't mind its place, because Glasvegas do great job.
7. Gym Class Heroes feat The Dream - Cookie Jar
8. Vampire Weekend - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa
9. Subways – I Won’t Let You Down
10. Oasis - The Shock Of The Lightning

Sean Lennon - Spectacle

I lost myself in Indie Rock records. Too many releases and many frustrating records. Oceans Will Rise is not one of them. I first discovered The Montreal band with song "Still in Love Song". Everything I Build and Dinosaurs are my favorites from Oceans Will Rise. You should check out U2-inspired the single too:

The Stills - Being Here

Rating: 6.5/10 (decreased from 8.5 after taking a shower, it's been overrated:)
Rush, nervous, funny and sharp Intimacy opens album with Ares and Mercury, both energetic, repetitive amazing indie rock music. Mercury remains the best thing in this recording, sounding between previous A Weekend In The City and Silent Alarm. I loved previous records as well as Intimacy. My only complain is this is short as life of a fly. Because first three tracks are suitable for dancing, this makes it happen faster than it is. There are also Trojan Horse, One Month Off Biko and Zepherus, the songs are amazingly flowing. Biko lets you rest like indie rock version of The Cure. Trojan Horse has power and it proofs that Intimacy won't break out third album syndrome. Trojan Horse follows up the same disco-indie-rock way but i like it. Signs and Better Than Heaven are so epic songs.

Bloc Party expressly deserves these words, they got this strange effect on me even if i'm not a diehard Bloc Party Fan. Their music work fairly when you miss some cool, not easily accessible, even headache rock music act. If you have to chose one between Silent Alarm, A Weekend In The City and Intimacy, you should do that for all of them. Intimacy worths a listen without doubt! One of the Best indie rock albums of the year.

Highlights: Ares, Mercury, Trojan Horse, Better Than Heaven

Bloc Party - Trojan Horse
