Let's see what happens.

One of the things that bothers me about this space being vacant is that the "Featured Album" tab over there hasn't changed in nearly six months. I think Owen Pallet has had quite enough face time. Since I haven't had the opportunity to feature most of the music I've been listening to in recent months, I thought I'd give you a taste here.

Artist: The Besnard Lakes
Song: Albatross
Album: The Besnard Lakes are the Roaring Night



The Besnard Lakes have great album titles. They also like to make big, sweeping epic songs. This is not one of those, however.

Artist: Tunng
Song: Hustle
Album: ...And Then We Saw Land



This album is... well, nice. Which is not what I was expecting from a Tunng album. Sam Genders left the band and apparently took all the dark imagery with him. Too bad.

Artist: Dessa
Song: Dixon's Girl
Album: A Badly Broken Code



I got a hold of this album after Sound Opinions repeatedly raved about it.

So, what are you listening to?

Apparently, today is the birthday of alpha charlie bravo. It was launched officially on February 3, 2003. I have no meaning to ascribe to this fact. However, feel free to take a look back at the first birthday celebratory extravaganza that was this post of: February 4, 2004. Hey, remember when I used to write?
