Iron & Wine – The Creek Drank the Cradle

September 26, 2009 by Jeff Baertsch

Iron and Wine - The Creek Drank The Cradle - frontYeah… I’m in a Folk mood lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of Nick Drake, this guy, Sufjan Stevens, Elliott Smith, Conor Oberst, etc. I like feeling sorry for myself. This guy also has a really gnarly beard.

Gantz – La Chambre Des Morts

Don’t let the beginning of this release dismay you – the ambience builds in a way as to make the heavier parts even more epic. Just reminds me of Bowels (ooh namedrop!).

La Fin Du Monde – Monolith

00-la_fin_du_monde-monolith-2009-cover

Really energetic instrumental stuff from this Californian outfit. I’ve been really loving their sound lately – it just gives off a really well thought out vibe that isn’t as slow-paced as other post-rock. It seems as though these guys haven’t forgotten what ‘fun’ is.

I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism in Your Yearbook – Discography

September 12, 2009 by Jeff Baertsch

l_8773f7950ede6f8633afd96b638cc742IWHACIYY is a band that gets quite a bit of traffic on my blog, Radio Protector, and rightly so. Their probably among those bands that get name-dropped (think Pg. 99, Orchid, I Would) and unlike Saetia, deserve that honor. The band recently put this up on their MySpace, and sometimes it’s hard to catch because last time I heard every host they upload it to tends to take it down in a few days (I reckon because of a lot of anticipation for this, and thus high traffic).
