Wow. After listening the first few songs in this album, that is all I can muster. This Catalan (?) artist is messing with my emotions with his light guitar licks and his captivating voice.

Takenobu- Exposition
Another cool set of chill tunes. His voice is not resonating with me as well as I hoped, but the multiple layers of cello is sweet to my ears nonetheless. Enjoy.

il Abanico- Crossing Colors EP
This is awesome. I am not quite sure why (maybe due to its active drumming), but the first song reminds me of how excited I am for Mute Math's next album in October. Every song on here is great, and I have not been this excited about an EP since the Modern Rivals released their first one a year ago. The best part is that this Crossing Colors EP is free! Stop reading this and download the EP already!

Iration- Time Bomb and Fresh Grounds EP
While everyone bought their Lollapalooza ticket this year to see Eminem, the Foo Fighters, or whatever three bands they've only heard of, nobody [not surprisingly] mentioned anything about this reggae rock band Iration. These guys from Hawaii released their most recent album Fresh Grounds EP a few months ago and also have a great full length album Time Bomb. Time Bomb is more reggae rooted with branches of rock and hip hop while the Fresh Grounds EP is more alternative reggae. Click on the buy button on the player to purchase Time Bomb for $10 and Fresh Grounds EP for $4.

Idaho- You were a Dick
I am really enjoying this new find. Apparently Idaho has been around since the early nineties but this is the first time I've heard of them. This is the first album release for Idaho in nearly 6 years and from what I've heard Jeff Martin (not the Canadian) is the only member left in the band. Aside from the history lesson, the album is really great and it is chock full of different subtle styles of music. You were a dick and Impaler have subtle similarities to Beck, and something about Reminder and Up the Hill reminds me of Broken Social Scene. The second half of the album picks up and brings some rock riff like pieces, only to cascade down in the end to more serious songs similar the the beginning of the album. If you really like this one it will cost you, but the mp3 download is only $6. Idaho also has a CD and Vinyl version up for sale as well, just click on the buy button below if you are interested.
