First up, ex-
Concrete Victoria Bergsman's new band
Taken By Trees has released their new album
Open Field (
iTunes,
eMusic,
Amazon), from which we heard "Hours Pass Like Centuries". Next Brooklyn's own
Les Chauds Lapins (who do wonderful renditions of French classics) did two songs from their debut album
Parlez-Moi D'amour (
CD Baby), we heard "Swing Troubadour" and "Mon Rêve C'etait Vous". Then Berlin's
Stereo Total did "Baby Revolution" from their recent album
Paris-Berlin (
iTunes,
eMusic,
Amazon). Next Scotland's indie rock the
1990's (not to be confused with a band I played a while ago caled
1900's) did two good songs from their remarkably hit-and-miss debut album
Cookies (
iTunes,
eMusic,
Amazon). Then Sweden's
Envelopes did "Smoke in the Desert, Eating the Sand, Hiding in the Grass" from their forthcoming new record, and current single by the same name (
iTunes,
eMusic). And finally Brooklyn's
Elizabeth Harper who I played not too long ago has a new EP
The Covent of the Immaculate Heart which contains a remix of her fantastic song "Let Me Take You Out" which I played previously. We heard that remix, perhaps consider picking up her self-titled album (
iTunes).
