Monsters & Ferrarri’s

I have been rooting out new music for myself these last few weeks. Having removed myself from the merciless grip of music retail, an older and purer love has once again returned to me. Exciement and enthusiasm that cannot be exstinguished or clouded by the opinions and views of others. As enlightened and as forward thinking as we like to beleive we all are, nothing will put you off a band quicker than when the music nazi’s start telling you why you should like them. So, here are three of the tracks that are getting the most play on my pc over the last few days. First up, “Peacebone” by Baltimore based Animal Collective (Check out side project by Panda Bear also), this is from 2007′s Strawberry Jam album and a new EP Water Curses, has just been released. One of the best videos that I have seen in ages.

Secondly, here’s Wild Beasts, with their ace track, Devil’s Crayon, which I like quite a lot. The video bored me at first and then I got to like it after several viewings, finally admitting that the animation was actually pretty good after all.

Next up, The Teenagers, with an absolutely fantastic (realistic) summer romance track called Homecoming, with one of the best choruses I’ve heard all year. The album is damn cool, damn cool. http://www.theteenagers.net/

Enjoy, any suggestions for similar acts I may not know are always welcome. Wordy blog to follow later.
