“Dearly Departed”
Alejandro Rose-Garcia is an Austin, Texas based musician who calls himself Shakey Graves. We were impressed with him at Newport Folk this past summer and now we’re loving this single from his latest album And The War Came:

SONG: Marcia Ball
“The Tattoed Lady and the Alligator Man”
Ok, this tune is slightly out of my wheelhouse. My boss was quite surprised to hear that I loved it…but how can I resist?! The silly story combined with the killer old timey piano is so much FUN! I’ve always thought Marcia Ball kicked some serious ass. Try to keep still while listening to this one… not easy!

SONG: Trampled by Turtles
“Are You Behind The Shining Star”
I’ve heard Trampled by Turtles a bunch before…both live performances and recorded tracks. This single is the first they’ve ever caught my ear. I’m not sure what it is about this particular track but I’m diggin it…

This music video will brighten your day! The track “Smile” is so lovely and light. It has a bit of a throwback vibe, with surf guitar sounds and backing vocals. Add in this funny, sweet music video and you’re sure to be delighted…watch till the end:

“Heart Is A Drum”
Been loving this track from Beck’s latest album and it’s got such a perfect vibe for this cloudy, misty morning.

NEW: Robert Plant
“Rainbow”
I’m completely floored by this track. Robert Plant has managed to maintain what makes him legendary while sounding very contemporary. This could be a Radiohead track… you hear it? Man, it’s so killer. I’m psyched to hear more from the album, Lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar, out in August.

NEW: The New Pornographers
“Brill Bruisers”
Brill Bruisers is probably the album I’m most excited about this year. Neko Case, A.C. Newman, Dan Bejar, Kathryn Calder and friends are the band The New Pornographers – one of those bands that I want to tell everyone about. I don’t know what it is about Canadian musicians but I just dig em the most! The title track to this album sounds FLIPPING PHENOMENAL and I’m dying to hear more:
The album comes out in August!

SONG: Keb’ Mo’
“The Worst Is Yet To Come”
I cannot stop listening to this song today. I just keep hitting repeat. Pairing these bleak lyrics with such FUN, catchy, upbeat music makes this track perfect to me. It’s from Keb’ Mo’s new album Bluesamericana.
“I got a bad bad feeling…that the worst is yet to come”

SONG: Ray LaMontagne
“Drive-in Movies”
Love love LOVING the latest Ray LaMontagne single…even more than the lead single (and title track) from his new album Supernova. Fittingly, “Drive-in Movies” has this beautiful throwback sound with a catchy hook and killer guitar riff:
