3 albums

Here are three new releases that may be worth a listen:

Photobucket
Blitzen Trapper-"Furr"
-This is by far the best of the three albums in this post. It's much more consistent than their previous album "Wild Mountain Nation." "Furr"  has a timeless quality to it, very Dylan-esque.

Photobucket
Sleepy Sun- "White Dove"
-Reminiscent of the psychedelic rock band Black Mountain, this album contains long, dramatic songs that are sure to induce head swaying. The album's main problem: predictability. Actually, I'm already getting bored with it.

Here is a grainy clip of the song "White Dove":



Photobucket
Kings of Leon- "Only By the Night"
-In the same vein as their previous album "Because of the Times," this album leans towards stadium pop rock. Their old stuff is better. But ask a 17 yr old girl what she thinks and you will likely get a different opinion.


Here is the song "Manhattan":
