Funeral

Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004)


An interesting indie band from Montreal, Canada, Arcade Fire will steal your heart. Their two albums (Funeral from 2004 and Neon Bible from 2007) are simply perfection. They put on one hell of a live performance (unfortunately I've yet to see it...) and play an array of instruments. They're simply a beautiful band, and to quote a friend, this album is "a master piece".

Justice - † (2007)


This electro house-pop duo from France have gotten a lot of musical attention since their first album † (2007) was released. They have a live album called A Cross the Universe and a couple of EPs. They're really fun to dance to and especially fun to listen to really loudly in your car with the windows down (definitely do this with track number 10, Stress....craaaazy)

Gulag Orkestar

Beirut - Gulag Orkestar (2005)


Beirut is mostly Zach Condon from Santa Fe, NM. His music is very Eastern European/Balkan gypsy with a strong trumpet and ukulele base. Both Gulag Orkestar and Lon Gisland EP came out in 2006. He also has an album called the Flying Club Cup (2007) and two other EPs: Pompeii (2007), Elephant Gun (2007). A third (and fourth) EP has been announced as well; March of the Zapotec/Holland will be a double EP and is due out in February, 2009. Condon's music makes you feel like you're in Europe, sitting outside of a corner cafe with a cup of coffee, listening to a busker play across the street...and that's a great feeling.

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (2008)


Sigur Rós is a minimalist slow-motion post-rock band from Iceland. The vocals by Jonsi are in a falsetto and also mostly in his own language, Hopelandic (or Vonlenska). They formed in 1994 in Reykjavik. Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (2008) (translates to "With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly") is their most recent album. They have four other studio albums (Von from 1997, Ágætis byrjun from 1999, ( ) from 2002, Takk... from 2005) and a few other albums (Hvarf-Heim from 2007, Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do from 2004, Von brigði from 1998, and a handful more). I adore this band, and this album is fantastic. It's much different than other albums; it's catchy and faster. A common complaint is that they sound like whales, but I think this album is completely un-whale-like.
