MP3: Take Your Medicine

Frightened Rabbit: Sing the Greys, buy here.
The Daily Growl: Frightened Rabbit: "I guess that sounds like I’m damning them with faint praise, but I can’t be bothered doing the whole “they sound like X band” thing today." O.K., here is my turn - this is what I like to hear in their sound - a mixture of Stokes and Centro-matics.

The View’s debut album, Hats Off to the Buskers ...
Obscure Sound - Indie Music Blog � The View is nice with their heads above the clouds: "With virtually every radio station in Europe playing The View nonstop, it's not hard to see why they are arguably the most popular newcomers of 2007, but the common question still repeats itself: does popularity equal quality and talent?"

Only one week to the official release of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah:

"If this is any indication to where Clap Your Hands Say Yeah wants to take their sound, I'm all for it. Here's one of the best songs they've ever created ..." continue at i guess i'm floating: Goodbye To The Mother & The Cover.

"The exciting thing about the new album is that although it's once again self-released, they put a lot more money into the production, hiring Dave Fridmann (Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips, Sparklehorse, Sleater-Kinney) as producer. You can definitely hear the added production value on songs like, "Emily Jean Stock"..." continue at Muzak For Cybernetics: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Emily Jean Stock.
