Music of My Mind

Deer ticks are gross, but this band is not. They are actually quite the opposite. They have an album titled “War Elephant” that I am falling in love with. Reminiscent of Band of Horses, Deer Tick is definitely another solid indie-folk band in my books. Really, really good folk music.

There’s actually a documentary about them called Deer Tick: To the City of Sin! coming out in a few weeks. It looks pretty sweet. Here’s the trailer:

As I always say, IFFL!

Find Deer Tick:

I did a post on the Old Canes a couple of weeks ago not realizing that they were coming out with a new album! How could I be such a fool? Yesterday-yes, one day ago-the Old Canes released Feral Harmonic, their second full-length album. I’ve only given it a run through once, and I really like what I hear so far. Sounds similar to their other album that came out in 2004 called Early Morning Hymns, which was excellent.

Which reminds me, I stumbled across this homemade, Take Away Show style video of Christopher Crisci, their lead singer, playing a song off of Early Morning Hymns called “Both Falling Bright.” I like it so I thought I’d post it.

Anyway, Feral Harmonic is a really good album. If you like indie-folk music, you have to give it a listen.

I know it sounds crazy, but I have found the band that is a nearly perfect mix of the these two bands.

It’s name? Built To Spill

The more I listen to their brand spankin’ new album “There is No Enemy,” the more I realize how remarkably similar the singer is to both Death Cab AND Modest Mouse. This combo makes for a great singer, and an amazing album.

This album’s an indie standard, so get it. It’s great.
