Soundbites.

(New) music to your ears. One album is out now.  The other is coming soon (plus one of my besties sings background vocals).

It might surprise you what album I think you need to get now.  It's Peter Gabriel's new album of covers - everything from Paul Simon to Radiohead to Arcade Fire.  See track listing and streaming cover of Bon Iver's "Flume" below.  He wants to be your sledgehammer.

Now, for the album you need to be on the lookout for.  It's from the Suckers. I believe they are calling this emerging genre "chant rock"...whatever that means.  Below is the track listing.  Head over to Pitchfork to hear the song "Save Your Love for Me." Wild Smile is out June 8th!
