Sigur Ros out today via download




This may sound over the top, but the new Sigur Ros album is quite possibly the greatest thing I've heard in 10 years. After streaming the album non stop last week, I'm now hearing for the first time in full def (don't give me the mp3 lossy speech). If you have a pulse this album will strike you on some level.

Grab the DRM Free 320 kbps at the link below today, if it's the only thing you buy all year.

Purchase the album today

Album Review: Fleet Foxes Self Titled

Just finished my first listen through Seattle band Fleet Foxes self titled album. I've been anxiously awaiting this release after hearing their amazing Sun Giant EP. If you like lush layered harmonies that hearken back to simpler times I think you will enjoy.

I'm starting a much despised review style among bloggers - comparisons to other artists. I know it's often insulting to bands to be compared to someone else, but c'mon, we could all use a little guidance on whether we might like a band or not when deciding whether to give them a listen. So here we go with the first ever TGP sounds like math equation:

Fleet Foxes = America + Grizzly Bear + Midlake + My Morning Jacket - Electric Guitar
