Having already made waves in Europe over last year, this side of the pond is just hearing about chamber folkist Agnes Obel. Born in Copenhagen and currently based in Berlin, Agnes’s release (Philharmonics) has already topped the charts in Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium and France, earning her sold-out shows across Europe. Now her album will be released over here onPIAS America and keep an eye out for her at SXSW.
Song: Brother Sparrow.

For the first time in a long whileI woke up this morning and actually saw daylight. I should have had Two Bicycles on, it would have been the perfect soundtrack to these winter mornings.
Check out the side project of Vancouver’s Teen Daze, a single called “I’m Not Afraid To Wait For You”. Both songs on the single are going to appear on LP, “The Ocean”, which is coming out on Crash Symbols, sometime in the near future.
Its been a couple days away from the blog, sorry for the dust thats started to collect on the site. I spent my long weekend in Montreal and Montebello for a wedding of one of my best friends. Amazing time, minimal internet access.
Here’s what I’ve been hearing:
–Dinosaur Bones did an awesome session with Wood & Wires, check out “Ice Hotels”

–Friends With Both Arms posted the new Memoryhouse video for “Caregiver”. The band are one of the many great artists playing the SXSW Silver Series, a busking-style event run by Invisible Children to raise awareness for the 25th year of war in East Africa.
–Wolf Gang does an amazing cover of Radiohead’s “Pyramid Song”.

–Local Natives perform on NPR’s tiny desk.
–MOKB introduces us to new band Wild Palms.
–Tympanogram features a band I’m really liking right now, Expensive Looks.
–Head to Soundcloud to hear Altrice’s take on Caribou’s album Swim. Remember that contest to remix Caribou’s record? Altrice took top honours.
