Girls "Father, Son, Holy Ghost" - 2011 LP

Towards the end of doing something creative it's easy to get lazy......Girls, did not do this....matter 'O fact this album finishes stronger than a majority of albums released post millenium.....How rad is this band?!?!?!? The San Fran duo had a major 'buzz worthy' success with their self-titled release 2009......."Father, Son, Holy Ghost" will be a contender for AOY......def. will end up in my top 10......this album is just plain sick.....good the whole way through.......rock-Cure style/gospel emo/pop ina goodway/just excellent....I bet Bitchfork rates this well over a 9.0....gonna be hilarious to read that review:

Small Sur "Tones" - 2011 LP

Man, for sitting down and working on a canvas, there might not be a better album.....Small Sur is a bit of an indie/underground slowcoustic all-star group....Whew, that was a mouth-full (gross Beau).....Any-tways, Small Sur features members of Wye Oak and Lower Dens.......ello LA......this album is a testiment to patience in musack/aucoustic/depth/well layered very smooth americana folk......excellent listen:
