Nick 13 is the debut Americana album from the frontman of Tiger Army. Hints at a lot of classic country and just an overall wonderful listen. |

and now I have to listen to this immediately. |

| I really can't hype Nick 13 enough. That album went so under the radar and seriously has some of the most pleasant and gentle melodies I've heard from an alt-country album. This is what modern country SHOULD sound like. Plus, freakin stand-up bass. Gimme a break! |

Of my list, I'm interested in if anyone heard that Pepper Rabbit album and what they thought? I thought it was a pretty solid psych-pop album, nowhere near as good as The Philistines Jr's and Snowglobe's from last year, but probably the best of the genre this year.
Gramma, you may like or you may hate this cover.

I have yet to hear it, but if it's anywhere near as good as Beauregard was then I think I would really enjoy it. |

| Hm. I saw them last year and I thought they were pretty good. I should check it out. |

Ha Ha. I Dr. Garbanzoured you would. Since you gave me James Ensor's name I find it very fitting that I can give you an album to check out containing a variation of his work on the cover. This universe sometimes, eh? |

| Fucking god damnit. I already forgot the Antlers |
| Posted by Pea on Dec 1, 2011, 11:34pm |
I saw WU LYF mentioned somewhere else today and Dr. Garbanzoured I would look into them. All I can say is wow. I'm really excited to dive into this album and see what it's all about.
I've been putting off checking out the new Wild Beats as well. Maybe I'll do that sooner than later. |
