New Acorn Album called ‘Heron Act’

The album (titled Heron Act, which is available physically only in the US and digitally worldwide via Paper Bag) was released yesterday and features a collection of live recordings, b-sides and rare songs. To go along with our recent update, The Acorn are having a tremendous 2009 thus far. Here’s a sample of the album, the Kanye approved Crooked Legs (video) (live at XM Radio in Toronto).

New song by Peter, Bjorn & John (Kanye approved)

I’m on my fourth listen at the moment and really loving this new song from Sweden’s Peter, Bjorn & John. I’m really starting to believe (even though people have been saying it for quite a while) that Sweden has it all going on for new music these days.

The song is called Nothing To Worry About and was featured first on Kanye West‘s blog. It’s got a heavy beat, catchy chorus and possibly that kids choir from the D.A.N.C.E or M.A.G.I.C songs. Maybe this song should be called N.T.W.A??
