So I just downloaded this album from eMusic. I have to say I like it a lot. In fact, I'd say it probably would fall in my top 15 albums of last year, now that I've had a chance to listen to it. Anyway, I recommend checking ...

I said there was no album released this year that blew me away. That still holds true technically.
I just downloaded the new Goldfrapp album that doesn't come out for another 3 months. I know I should have waited, but curiosity got the best of me. I am ...

Everybody and their mother makes these lists. Here is mine. At the very least it's good to take stock and see what came out over the year. As I mentioned before, there wasn't really anything that blew me away the first time I heard it (ala M83, ...

The Duke Spirit is hands down my favorite female fronted band. They grab you by the ears and don't let go, mixing in a perfect amount of reverb, melody, bluesy riffs, and spot-on vocals. I am highly anticipating their next album. However, in the meantime they have ...

American Analog Set - Promise of Love
Picked up another AAS album, this one is their release from 2003. Again, more mellow tunes that are sharp as can be. Sorta like Death Cab meets Elliott Smith, with healthy dose of attitude thrown in. Ideal music for any mood. ...

Stina Nordenstam - Memories of a Color
I heard Stina Nordenstam through a mix a friend burned me. I was instantly taken by the uniqueness of her delivery, which falls somewhere between Bjork and Emiliana Torrini. The music however has more of a jazz twist, which fits nicely. ...

Asobi Seksu - Asobi Seksu

One of my favorite new band discoveries of the past six months has to be Radio 4. Honestly, I have no idea why I had never heard of this band before. They are really a radio-ready band (no pun intended), falling somewhere between Bloc Party and Interpol, ...

All I can say is that every JAMC record is good and each of these has its own unique style. I'm hard pressed to name a favorite. Don't judge them purely by Psychocandy either. Their following albums were much more melodic.
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Automatic
