O'Brother - Providence

--------------Today, I'm going to keep my musings of music rather short, mostly because I have a ton of laundry to do before the Grammy's tonight. O'Brother is a band I learned about from a friend in my building, and I have to say I'm feeling the minor mood "Providence" gives off. Experimental, reeling and thoughtful, O'Brother sounds like Radiohead on Redbull with a little more aggression. If you like what you hear, they're currently on tour with Manchester Orchestra, The Features and Billy Clyro. Listen to "Providence" and also the track "Ascension" from The Death of Day.

Cold War Kids - Hang Me Up to Dry

--------------Nathan Willett doesn't need to exaggerate his well-ranged voice, but he chooses to with humility and honesty."Hang Me Up to Dry" draws simple rock guitars, hypnotic rythems, and beautiful wails from Willett. Cold War Kids strays away from dashing theatrics and overcharged rock bravado. The technical simplicity echoing one of their main influences found in Radiohead makes the band a perfect complement to their current tour buds, Death Cab for Cutie. Get "Hang Me Up to Dry" from Cold War Kid's debut album Robbers and Cowards.
