I think that I am one of the few people who did not immediately pay attention to Bon Iver's self-titled album when it was released last month. Having absored myself in it for the past two weeks, I must say that it is truly one of the most amazing listening experience that I have had this year. If this makes any sense, on Bon Iver, Justin Vernon, who is more or less the band, takes us deeper into an emotional place and space than on his debut album by expanding the band's sound. With richly textured and sonically beautiful songs, Vernon, creates a musical landscape that can be explored over and over again, and still feel new and authentic with each listen. Plug yourself into this album with some good headphones and allow yourself to be taken away by
this one.

Admiral Fallow, Boots Met My FaceGlasgow is one of my favorite cities and I have always been impressed with the city's vibrant music scene. Admiral Fallow, who hail from this great city have just release their debut album, Boots Met My Face. Putting aside the fact that I am a sucker for a Glaswegian accent, I love what Admiral Fallow is doing on this album. With a kind of rough folk-rock sound, the band beautifully balances the warmth of so much of the Scottish folk music that I love with a more contemporary sound. I hope that Admiral Fallow's album helps this Scottish sound find a wider audience like Mumford and Sons' album Signs No More did for the English equivalent.

Bobby, BobbyColleges can serve as great incubators for young bands. This has certainly been the case for the band Bobby. What started off as an academic musical project at Bennington College, evolved into something much more. On their debut album, the seven members of Bobby have created an impressive, sprawling twelve song listening journey. I really like the confidence that the band shows in taking its time with these sophisticated, psychedelic, folk-dream pop like songs.
