#musicmonday
July 5, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: #musicmonday
I haven’t done a #musicmonday in a while because I haven’t been listening to a whole lot of new stuff, but I thought I’d throw out a new one cuz’ I’ve got a couple things to speak about.
First up is the new album from The Books titled The Way Out which continues on their alleatoric journey, combining found sound samples and combining them with guitar and cello to make amazing music. I’ve listened to the album a few times so far and though they may not be striking brand new ground it’s still an amazing album.
After that I wanted to point out how amazing Fischerspooner’s first album #1 was. I hadn’t listened to it in a while, like 5 years, so I thought I’d put it on and sure enough it was quite the gem. I used to drive around my hometown of Roseville listening to it non-stop and I will always think of that, but honestly the album still stands up as a classic. If you haven’t heard it recently give it another listen for old times sake.
As usual feel free to suggest new music and links are extra appreciated.

The Berndt is a band from Gothenburg in Sweden, where I live. I had heard one or two of their songs until recently when one of the guys in the band attended an after party at my place and made me more curious about their music.
Listen especially to Hurried Feathers.

Hey.
First of all. Your site is great, is like “indie” stuff everywhere.
Oh, I am listening Fischerspooner, it sounds kinda cool.
Thanks for the recomendation.
I used to listen to that Fischerspooner album all the time to when it was new, and I took it for a spin yesterday. Strange how those sort of coincidences happen all the time.
So excited for the new Books album.
Also, I agree with above commenter. Tunng is very good.
