album playlist: 0708

it's almost the end of july. i guess from now on i'm gonna try post albums i got for the past month. under the band name i'll post their myspace page and if i can find a music video, i'll embed with it.

i realized that lately most albums i listened to the past month are in the area of folk/ alt-folk/ singer-songwriter with somber/ melancholic/ poignant attitude. i dunno, i hate explaining what it is that i listen to.

air france - no way down

no opera - architecture, architecture

baccara - the very best of baccara





frightened rabbit - the midnight organ fight

this video is cute:



jape - ritual



kansas - the best of kansas



the last shadow puppets - the age of understatement

i'm not a fan of arctic monkeys and i dont know if i can be a fan of this album either.



laura marling - alas i cannot swim



liars - liars



mgmt - oracular spectacular

i have to admit they dont sound as horrible as they were when i saw them live opening for of montreal many moons ago. they actually start to sound pleasant to my ears.

electric feel on youtube >>



miracle fortress - five roses



noah and the whale - peaceful, the world lays me down



okkervil river - the stand-ins

shearwater - rook



sun kil moon - april



the tallest man on earth - shallow graves



titus andronicus - the airing of grievances

arms against atrophy >>

women - women
