[Discover] – Mumford & Sons – [Indie-Folk]
.jpg "Mumford & Sons")
Mumford & Sons have been a round for a couple of years now, playing gigs in and around London along with buddies of the same scene like Johnny Flynn and Noah And The Whale, but they’ve only just (October 2009) released their debut album “Sigh No More”. Polarising critics (some saying their music is awful, some (most) saying it’s excellent) they’ve made an album that’s passionate and catchy, melodious and stomping, but most of all enjoyable.
I think I’m on an Indie-Folk kick lately as most of the bands I’m featuring seem to be in that kind of genre, but what the hell, the music’s awesome and that’s all that matters.
Below you can hear “White Blank Page” that they did for WOXY, “After The Storm“, single “The Cave”, as well as a top notch cover of “Cousins” by Vampire Weekend. Also are performances of “Timshel”, beautifully shot for Le-Hiboo and their official video for “Winter Winds”.
[Discover] – Local Natives – [Indie-Rock-Folk]
I posted Local Natives’ session with La Blogotheque a couple of weeks ago but today I’m actually going to post some of their other music. Formerly known as Cavil At Rest whom they released an EP (“Cavil At Rest EP”) and an album (“Orion Way”) under back in 2006 and 2007, they changed their name to Local Natives and set about readying another album. That album (“Gorilla Manor”) was released in 2009 in the U.K. on Infectious Records and on February 16th 2010 in the U.S. on Frenchkiss Records. Upon it’s release it garnered the band attention they hadn’t seen the likes of under their previous name, and they truly deserve it.
Three singles have been released from “Gorilla Manor”; “Sun Hands“, “Camera Talk“, and “Airplanes”, all of which are below for you to listen to along with their Daytrotter session and gorgeous videos of “Wide Eyes” that they did for Le-Hiboo and “Airplanes” that they did for Yours Truly. I also added their La Blogotheque session I featured a couple of weeks ago too.
