The Black Keys Are Back

Fresh off their three Grammy win for best album for Brothers The Black Keys are back with a new album called El Camino. The album brings back what we love about the soul-rockers with a lot of upbeat songs that are just amazingly written. You should check out the album if you haven't already and let me know what you think. Here's one of their songs from the album called "Run Right Back". Run Right Back

Saint Motel: At Least I Have Nothing

Saint Motel has released a new song on their upcoming first vinyl album called 7 inch which will be released November 28th. The song is called "At Least I Have Nothing" and it is a departure from the playful, quirky tones that the indie pop band is known for. That is not to say that the track is still not great because it is. It also gives the message that sometimes the people who have the least are the people who are most free. In a society that is increasingly becoming based on materialism this can not feel more poignant. Check out the song here and let me know what you think.

New Song From Of Montreal

Of Montreal has released a new song on their website called "Wintered Debts". The band was rumored to have a new album coming out in early 2012 called Paralytic Stalks. Whether this new song will be on the album remains to be seen but what is certain is that this 7 and a half minute number definitely deserves to be somewhere. Check out the song right here on their website

New Los Campesinos!

So Los Campesinos! has an upcoming album coming out and the title track has just been released entitled "Hello Sadness" If the sound on this track is indicituve of what else the album has to offer, dare I say we might have something Arcade Fire-esque? I really like what I hear so far. It's up tempo and with high powered chords that and a rockin chorus. I hope the rest of the album is like this. Check out the song here.

Christmas Songs From She and Him

Christmas in October?  I know it sounds strange but when it's She and Him you kind of accept it and are glad that it's happening. This little cozy acoustic number makes your heart feel a little warmer even through the holidays are still a couple of months away. The song is called the "Christmas Waltz" and it's from She and Him's upcoming album A Very She and Him Christmas. So my advice to you is to let the shock subside and enjoy this very nice little number.

Coldplay:Paradise

Another song from Coldplay's upcoming album has been released entitled "Paradise". The album entitled Mylo Xyloto (yeah have no idea what that means either) is in stores October 24th. The song incorporates more piano playing from Chris and also a more synth type feel. The chorus feels very futuristic and this song is sure to be a hit when they perform it live in concert. Check out the song and let me know what you think.
