there is something about the 3-name indie musicians. he is poetic and sweet and soft. good crying music, as ali said, but also fabulous music. the whole album is incredible.
favorite songs: atlas hands, see you soon, don't go slow, box of stones.
bon iver (pronounced: bone eeever)
i've always loved him. his lyrics can be strange, and there's an occasional expletive, but his voice and the melodies are soothing.
favorite songs: blood bank, skinny love, halocene.
boyce avenue
incredible covers.
favorite songs: we found love (rihanna cover), teenage dream (katy perry cover)
coldplay
new album mylo xyloto... epic.
favorite songs: paradise, princess of china,
james vincent mcmorrow
another 3-namer indie musician.
favorite song: if i had a boat
local natives
favorite songs: airplanes, cubism dream
mumford & sons
i would be remiss to not mention these fellows. their cd has seen me through good and bad days and is one i will always return to, to find myself and have hope for the future.
favorite songs: sigh no more, after the storm, white blank page
the lower lights
they have a christmas album (come, let us adore him) and an lds hymn album (a hymn revival) that are simply stunning. folksy and fun.
the acorn
favorite song: almanac
the middle east
favorite song: blood
now... don't hate me on this next one but....
*disclaimer: i have yet to see the new movie, and in fact a favorite pastime of mine is to rent twilight (numero uno) simply to laugh. buuut i cannot deny there is good music there, as with the other twilight albums.
favorite songs: christina perry- a thousand years, cider sky- northern lights
and of course, ingrid's newest: ghost and have yourself a merry little christmas.
