Silversun Pickups

I'm going to see these guys this Friday, here in Phoenix. They are from the Silverlake area of L.A and have an early Gish-era Smashing Pumpkins sound. I recommend the whole album and wouldn't be surprised if they start getting some national attention, real soon.

Elliott Smith

One of my favorite musicians of all-time. Get all of his albums!

Arguably the most gifted songwriter of his generation, Smith produced a large body of work that includes five solo albums and a collection of songs completed before his death in 2003. This double CD contains twenty-four songs recorded between 1994 and 1997, a prolific time in Elliott's career, when he recorded his self-titled album and Either/Or. Like his other work, New Moon reflects the power of Smith's ability to integrate rich, melodic music with poetic, multi-layered lyrics.

Dungen "Tio Bitar"

Over the past two years, the profile of Swedish psychedelic rockers Dungen has grown at an alarming rate, from a cult studio project into a worldwide musical phenomenon. And on Tio Bitar, we're hearing the end results of an outpouring of success and support - one which has, for once, inspired the creative processes at hand to make something wholly new and original, yet remaining within the same sphere of emotions that fostered Dungen's three previous albums. Gustav Ejstes, Dungen's founder and principal member, made Tio Bitar (translated, "Ten Pieces") - a bracing display of psychedelic rock, presented with a bright, avid confidence - largely by himself, with the assistance of guitarist Reine Fiske. Gustav wrote the songs, and played all of the instruments on his own, with Reine on many lead guitar and bass parts; his style of play puts him well within the top ranks of modern guitar heroes past and present.

The Bees "Ocotopus"

Really looking forward to this one, here is a little sample from the album.

After the success of the Abbey Road recorded "Free The Bees", our favourite furry Isle Of Wighters retreated to their seaside hive to record the bands third album, "Octopus". With Paul Butler taking the music reigns and Aaron Fletcher resuming lyrical control, the band have recorded 10 stunning tracks that combine all the best disparate elements of their first two albums (garage, psychedelic, folk, reggae, soundtracks etc) and wraps them in a warm blanket of straight up seaside soul. Some of these tunes are so good you'll be forgiven for thinking they're long lost classics, and checking to see who the original was by. Well it's 100% crazy Bees music: trippy, good-time, groovy, soulful, magic.
