[mp3] Joanna Newsom – ’81 from Have One On Me (2010)
The more I hear the new Shearwater record, the more I am reminded that this may be my favorite record so far this year. Plus,the newly released song, Black Eyes is becoming my favorite song of the year. It’s going to take a lot to beat this one out. Shearwater was since grown into a mammoth of a band, rather than just a side project. I have already had my fair listen to this masterful record and I can already tell you that The Golden Archipelago may be their finest work yet.
You can Pre-Order the album here, due out February 23rd. [Buy the vinyl like I did!]
Shearwater will be at the Bottom of the Hill on the 25th of April. Buy tickets here.

Your hype band has arrived; welcome Surfer Blood and their surf-grunge debut full-length, Astro Coast. However, this isn’t just your average lo-fi garage punk; it’s music to let loose to and allow yourself to rock out with confidence. Way less pretentious than Wavves and a shitload more fun, Astro Coast is a beach album that needs to blasted outside an El Camino in the afternoon. Released about two weeks ago, Astro Coast is a must for anyone going on a beachside drive.
Surfer Blood will be at the Bottom of the Hill April 2nd with Turbo Fruits and Ganglians. Tickets here.
Purchase Astro Coast .
