Yellowbirds –Songs From The Vanished Frontier
Sam Cohen’s Yellowbirds are sure to help get your giddy on. With this sophomore effort, Cohen’s transformation is all but complete. What was once a project from a former member of a no-longer group is now a standing-on-its-own-two-feet band; what was once the skeleton of a unique sound is now a fully-developed, beautiful landscape of music. On Songs From The Vanished Frontier, every little thing is in the right place and the result is the goods. So smile!

The Blank Tapes: Vacation
Hey there. Feeling a little mid-week blah? Need to put a smile on your face? Why don’t you try some grin-inducing new music like The Blank Tapes’ aptly named Vacation. With a sunny disposition and a sort of doo wop-swirled-psych-folk, this album is one toe-tapping, good-times track after another. The good vibes melodies run counter to a lot of the lyrics (note that tidal wave, snake and lurking somethings on the cover), but no matter, turn your frown upside down with this fantastic music.
