we're finding every day several ways that we could be friends



Atlas Sound - Quick Canal (feat. Laetitia Sadier)
Atlas Sound is actually Bradford Cox, who's the vocalist of Deerhunter. Interestingly, he accidentally posted a link of his mediafire account on deerhunter's blog, which contained the (at that time) yet to be released songs of Logos, the album he was releasing as Atlas Sounds. Anyhow, this song is really wonderful. Aurally, it was soothing via the use of the keyboard, and Laetitia certainly has that sort of lush voice which envelops you entirely. It fills the space you're in. I really really like this song, and it's highly recommended that you take a listen, and you won't even feel like 8 minutes has passed after listening to the song.

Atlas Sound - Shelia

Freelance Whales - Generator ^ First Floor
Sorta reminds makes me think of Fleet Foxes musically, but the voice is too clinically pop-ish. Makes me think of the Jonas Brothers. omg. They're definitely better than Jonas Brothers on any count.

Dan Deacon - Red F
A melting pot of instruments. It's nearly just noise (read: some if not most won't like it). But to me, it seems oddly.. nice. And the pace is really, really fast.
