Ear (& Eye) Candy


There have been some great album releases in the first two months of 2012.  My favorite things so far:

-      Miniature Tigers “Mia Pharaoh”

(Well, this comes out next week…but I’ve been listening to it nonstop on their website.)  http://www.miniaturetigers.com/

Melodic pop at its best…

Check out the video for “Female Doctor” – at first, you’ll think you’re listening to a sample of Van Halen’s “I’ll Wait” …sublime…



-      Ben Kweller  “Go Fly a Kite”

Kweller by numbers = hooks galore



-      Phenomenal Handclap Band “Form & Control”

Free Your Mind...And Your Ass Will Follow



-      Islands “A Sleep & A Forgetting”

A beautiful break-up album, file next to Beulah’s “Yoko”



-      Of Montreal “Paralytic Stalks”

You’re going to need headphones for these teenage symphonies to God
