Mumford & Sons - But My Head Told My Heart

Bijan posted Little Lion Man, I’m throwing in a second one here. Great band from London (though they could also easily be from Boston), debut album is out October 5.

The Little Ones - Lovers Who Uncover

Listening to their more recent album released last year, but that song came up on my iPod on my way to the office so I’ll go with that one from their album Sing Song.

Liam Frost & Martha Wainwright - Your Hand In Mine

Don’t really remember where I stumbled upon this one. Besides being your rather typical British pop tune (Liam reminds me of the singer from Starsailor a bit - no offence here) the lady on Liam’s side Martha Wainwright, Rufus’ sister, my favorite sibling musicians since Oasis broke up last week.

Here’s where Liam explains how it came to the duet.

Extra kudos for the title of the album that comes out September 14th: “We Ain’t Got No Money, Honey, But We Got Rain”

Fate Lions - Astronaut

Posted a first Fate Lion track yesterday and it really was stuck on repeat the entire afternoon. Returning home from the office, I listened to Astronaut for the rest of the evening. In this track, the singer reminds me of my friend Garrett Klahn (ex-Texas Is The Reason, Solea and currently Atlantic/Pacific) a lot.

Listen to the full record here.

Fate Lions - All You Do Is Crazy

Found this little gem on SoundCloud. That’s right, even if it appears that SoundCloud is a platform with mostly electronic music (which is mostly true), there are some really great indie bands represented.

Over the weekend, I searched for artists tagged “indie” or “folk” and these guys came up. This is a great pop song and it has been stuck on repeat for most of the afternoon. Listen to the full album here and if you like it, buy here.

The Dandy Warhols - The Last High- The Dandy Warhols Are Sound

Excellent track from their recent re-issue of Welcome To The Monkey House which was released in July with the original mix by Russell Elavedo as oppsed to the one released by Capitol.

Extra-kudos because originally they’re from Portland, Oregon.

Monochrome - High Five

Monochrome is one of the best and at the same time one of the most underrated bands in Germany. Their latest record Cache is already a year old and I kinda lost track of the band in the past years. I regularly bump into Marc (their singer who moved to Berlin recently) and after seeing him on Saturday I checked what Monochrome had been up to. I liked what I heard so much that I bought Cache last night. It’s a great post-rock/pop album and I’d urge you to give it a go.

Other great tracks include: Times New Roman, Parallax, Truc and Stern.

Oh, and Britt: I’m quite sure you’d like that record.

Deer Tick - Nebraska (Bruce Springsteen cover)

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m not too much into covers and it usually takes a lot for me to like one. But every now and then I stumblr upon something I like. Here’s one: Deer Tick from Providence, Rhode Island cover the boss’s Nebraska. Make sure to check out their other tracks, great stuff.

For the record: had a hard time picking my daily song and struggled between this one and two others. But since Bijan’s loyal to cover Friday, I’m joining the gang.

They Might Be Giants -The Mesopotamians

It’s Friday and not long before the weekend starts. Perfect timing for a perfect pop song. Found this over at Pasta Primavera in today’s Run Down. It’s the last second on their 07 album called ‘The Else’. Gotta run, we’re having an office drink-up.
