Arg, To much to do.

Balancing a job and the hours of school work I get a night are hard enough, so I can't ever seem to find the time put any new posts up, but that doesn't mean I'm not keeping up with music. I've gotten tons of great tracks lately and I'm frankly overwhelmed with good music. Heres some really great new stuff and just some stuff that I'm just really into right now.

Vampire Weekend

Brooklyn quartet, Vampire Weekend, sing about the collegiate experience. With all of the Oxford and Cambridge references, you can't help a what a preppy, rich student feels. I find the subject they've chose to write about is very interesting. The lyrics are really quite cool and the music is even better. They've created a very refreshing sound, something very crisp, yet high energy. Their songs range from soft violins on "Walcott" to the goofy guitar riff and tribal drums on "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa." ("Cape Cod" really reminds of Paul Simon's "Graceland") The best part about this band is that their music is fresh throughout the entire album, which deserves a repeat listen. Though the lyrics of arrogance and affluence are a mainstay on the album , the songs vary, but all keep you intently listening.

They've signed to XL Recordings and they've release the Yellow EP. Their debut doesn't come out until January 29th, but until then you should check out their EP and the free Day Trotter session.

The Russian Futurists

The Russian Futurists are my favorite band at the moment. Their blending of beautiful pop songs and funky beats creates pure bliss.Their second album , Let's Get Ready To Crumble, showed how they can write perfect pop and their third album, Our Thickness, proved they can keep the songs coming. After three awesome albums, they've released a singles collection, which can only be described as fun. Fun; that pretty much sums up the whole band.
