Hells yeah. I liked Bon Iver a lot. I liked Shearwater's Rook album just as much, I liked Shearwater's Palo Santo more, and I love Midlake's The Trials Of Van Occupanther. Fleet Foxes has the same quaint old timey sentimental sound of Bon Iver, only with massive reverb.

Vanoccupanther is a tad bit reminiscent of Genesis two albums from '76, Trick Of The Tail and Wind And Wuthering, or Fleetwood Mac's Bare Trees, but doesn't sound terribly retro either. Shearwater is like Bon Iver...on steroids, i.e. much more contrasts betwix mellow and dramatic.

You like Transatlantic? There's a third in the final stages of production.

The new Joe Henry, Blood From Stars, is already in the running for my record of the year. Channels a bit of T. Waits. The whole album is streaming on npr.

Nice. I'm listening now. The link to the whole album on NPR

The Band: We Were Promised Jetpacks

The album: These Four Walls

The Genre: Scottish Indie Pop/Post Punk

RIYL: Twilight Sad, Bloc Party (the first album), and good music in general : )

I've been playing this pretty regularly for about a month now and it completely rules. Top 5 year end disc fer shure. Unless you're a full time progger you should check out some samples : )
