Music Monday 10.27.14

OUT TOMORROW - I'd like to highly encourage you to stream FREE the new The Twilight Sad album, Nobody Wants To Be Here and Nobody Wants To Leave. It's out tomorrow. I still regularly listen to their 2007 album, Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters. Love this band! Their music is wonderfully moody.

BURNING UP MY iPOD

• Delta Spirit: Into The Wide | I'm desperate to get as many as possible to discover this album. And it's only $5. A steal. I've listened to no album more this year and it's still pretty new.
• Hozier: Hozier | A bluesy, rock-soul album. Lots of enjoyable stuff on this one.

SONGS 

The Gray Havens have released a new song before the release of Fire & Stone in January 2015. Check out "Songs in the Night"...

One more. I often rediscover old albums and songs I loved and mentally misplaced for a while. Check out "Charlie Darwin" by The Low Anthem off of their outstanding 2009 album, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin.

The Low Anthem had my #5 album of 2009 called O My God, Charlie Darwin. Their new album, Smart Flesh, comes out on February 22nd. Here they are singing "Ghost Woman Blues" on Letterman. What a great band...

Okkervil River was the indie band that in many ways started my love for indie music. They were the first indie band I saw in concert a few years back because of their The Stage Names album. Their new album, I Am Very Far, is still very far off (May 10th) but it's great to get a listen to what's coming via Fallon (and a little AC Newman)...
