Santogold – “L.E.S. Artistes”

Posted in Recent Discovery on April 30, 2008 by spintoandy

Comparisons to M.I.A. are easy, but I think Santogold is a little easier to digest. Her full length was officially release yesterday. I’m digging this one… Thanks for the hook up Riddle!

From Self-Titled

White Rabbits – “The Plot”

Definitely a New York band worth checking out.  “The Plot” is one of my faves.

From Fort Nightly

PSAPP – “About Fun”

Had to throw this one in the mix. Quirky little track!

Vampire Weekend – “A-Punk”

OK… depending on who to talk to, this may be considered a guilty pleasure, but I don’t care. This is a damn catchy song and a pretty nice little CD.

The Long Winters – “Fire Island, AK”

Reminds me of Alt-Rock from the mid 90s. I need to dig a little deeper into these guys, but I love Putting the Days to Bed.

The Modern Lovers – “Roadrunner”

Flash back to 1976.  Check out the self-titled album… so nice!

Nada Surf – “Always Love”

We all know Nada Surf, but I still had to share. This is from one of my all-time favorite CDs. This is a must have. “In the Mirror” and “Imaginary Friends” are the two best tracks in my opinion.

If you can’t afford $9.99, those two songs are definitely worth $1.98 + tax!

Annuals – “Carry Around”

Not my favorite song by Annuals, but rest of CD is pretty good. “Complete or Completing” is my fave!

From Be He Me

Office – “Wound Up”

DareDevilDale hipped me to these guys & gals.  Great song, solid CD… worth a listen.

Goldspot – “Time Bomb”

Heard the single “Friday” on KEXP last year… great song, but like this one a little more.
