Is this good? I see this goddamn thing everywhere but I don't know what it's all about.
One of my favorites of this year. Very dancy, electronic pop (god i'm bad at describing music...). If you want to know if you'll like it, check out 1901. It's the song that got me hooked.
Yeah, Phoenix is pretty good. I heard 1901 on a Cadillac commercial a few nights ago.
I'm listening to the Volcano Choir album, UNMAP. It's Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) singing, a lot of times incoherently, and just making noises over instrumentals by the band Collections of Colonies of Bees. It's been great the past few days for listening to while doing homework because it's just very solid abstract, ambient, experimental music. You can listen to it free at
NPR First Listen.
