Track a Tiger

I received the debut album by Track a Tiger a long time ago, during the Mundane Sounds days, and, admittedly, it fell through the cracks. But I pulled it out recently and discovered how I missed out. It happens. The reason I mention them is because I learned that they recently signed to Deep Elm, who will release their new album, We Moved Like Ghosts, in April, I do believe. Their music is kind of country, kind of rock, but never kind of country-rock. "All These Accidents" reminds me a bit of Wilco, but never in any kind of imitative way. I'll admit I'm sorry I missed out on these guys the first time around. But hey, that happens.

From We Moved Like Ghosts:
Listen To: "All These Accidents"



From Woke Up Early the Day I Died:
Listen To: "Glad to be Scattered"
Listen To: "Seashaken Heart"
(buy it now from Future Appletree)

The Yarrows

The Yarrows are a four-piece from New Jersey, led by brothers Pierce and Matt Backes, and have a sound that's gentle, slightly psychedelic, somewhat folky, and all-around hazy and mellow. The brother thing plus the mellow thing plus the slightly psychedelic thing might make you think of Bedhead. I know I was...a little bit, at least. I'm also reminded of My Morning Jacket, which by default reminds me of Neil Young. But no matter--listen for yourself and enjoy the pleasure that is The Yarrows. Their debut album, Plum, will be released in May.

Listen To: "May"
Listen To: "Diamond"
