Listening To... #5

  • Novalima - Coba Coba
    • Based in Lima, Peru, but bringing a cross-south american sound. Good rhythmic stuff. Album was nominated for a Latin Grammy this year - Best Alternative Album. Also have a Coba Coba Remixed album that I'm thinking I'll be picking up quite soon...
  • Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog
    • A great rec/gift from Jackie's sister. Catchy, folky, jangly, with some smooth vocal work. 
  • Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future
    • Great energy in this music. Interesting label 'new rave' for them. I get feelings of good 80s alt-music, electro, punk-ish. Another good rec from Stephie.
  •  Jazzflora Compilation (Dealers of Nordic Music)
    • A great compilation of nujazz from an unfortunately defunct label. Much more on the jazz side than the electronic side
