A Random Mp3 Trilogy: Loney Dear, Abe Vigoda, Mount Eerie
I know I have already done a post for the new Loney Dear, but I seriously can’t stop listening to this album. It is one of those rare pieces where I can appreciate every single artistic choice, and all of them are executed flawlessly. I mean just the way he pronounces ‘story’ as ‘storwy’ on “Harm/Slow” is such a miniscule detail, but it sticks out so vividly. Loney Dear, aka Swedish songwriter Emil Svanangen, has produced one of the best albums of 2009 so far, so don’t miss out.

Los Angeles based Abe Vigoda‘s 5 track follow up to last year’s Skeleton sees the band moving into a more matured, darker direction that doesn’t quite as easily wear the fun, tropical punk name tag. This may not be good news to some of their fans, but I think this EP, Reviver, proves they are more than just a No Age clone. If you read this blog regularly, you know I always prefer my music to be interesting over fun, so if that is how you like your punk served up as well, then make sure to grab this:
Lost Wisdom, a Mount Eerie collaboration with Julie Doiron (Eric’s Trip) and Fred Squire, has made its way back into my heavy rotation again. I liked it a lot when I stumbled across it at the end of last year, but it has taken me a while to appreciate some of the slower songs on this thing. I love returning to an album and getting obsessed for a second time, and it is a true testament to a record’s greatness. If you never heard this one, you are missing out:
