The Besnard Lakes

The Besnard Lakes is a four-person Canadian band formed around a husband and wife duo in 2003. I would categorize their music a melodic shoegaze or maybe a mix between The Radio Dept. and Sigur Ros plus the addition of a female singer. All-in-all it's some pretty great music with some beautiful sounds.

"Albatross" comes from their newest album released last year called "The Besnard Lakes are the Roaring Night."

Lack of understanding is the cause of fear, distrust, and hatred.

Shearwater

Shearwater was formed in 1999 by a couple members of Okkervil River in Texas. Thus far they have created 7 albums and 2 EPs with another album set to release sometime next year. Their music would probably be described as indie/folk rock and it has a very peaceful feel to it with lots of piano and celestial sounds. I would say they are kind of a mix between Sigur Ros and Iron & Wine.

This video "Hidden Lakes" comes from their newest album "The Golden Archipelago ." And I'm not gonna lie, the eyelashes are weird as shiz, but the music is beautiful so I can look past it.

There is only one way to be happy - that's by choosing to be happy.

Premium Musics: Tamed Animals

I have finally discovered a new band. Tamed Animals is a solo gig by Dan Barnett out of Dever, CO. The style is called elctroacoustic, so its electronic and acoustic with some semi-dark lyrics. Just think of Radiohead, Sigur Ros, and an acoustic guitar having a beautiful child and you have Tamed Animals.

In April of 2010 Tamed Animals came out with its first full-length album called "Redefinition." I just bought it for $5.60 here. I love it. I recommend it. Buy it. Enjoy it. Love your life.



Happiness is a decision, not a consequence. So you make the choice.
