Hear Local Natives: Gorilla Manor, in full at NPR. I like it so far. Gorilla Manor will be released tomorrow. You can also hear a live session of Jonsi's solo stuff (dude from Sigur Ros).
Frontier Ruckus has a new, free Daytrotter session up.
Rachael Maddux (@rachaelmaddux), associate editor at Paste, thinks Mumford & Sons are creepy (you know, in a good way). Me too. The U.S. release of their first LP, Sign No More, is tomorrow. Woohoo, and Bout Time, and Go get it, etc!
The Antlers: Hospice is my favorite album of 2009. The video for "Bear" helps to bring the wonderfully depressing message into the visual sphere. Warning: there is an explicit word used. Not for kids.
Eluvium creates ambient music. Other people create urban developments and architecture. Eluvium creates ambient music videos set to urban developments and architecture. (via) Eluvium: Similes is available on the 23rd. Their excellent 2007 album, Copia, is only $5 right now.
I saw Mumford and Sons in San Francisco this last week. Absolutely amazing!! As good as their music is, the live show blows their recordings away. The frenetic pace, energy and harmonies stay with you for several days. Thanks for serving us each week with your music recommendations!

Very cool. They haven't been anywhere around here yet. Hope to catch them live sometime.

Mumford and Sons will be on Letterman Wednesday night and also the Local Natives album continues to grow on me the more I listen to it.
