New Music Watch

I've been doing other things than keeping on top of the latest and greatest, but here are a couple of good recent releases.

April by Sun Kil Moon will appeal to fans of the acoustic side of the Red House Painters.
It's not on par with the epic Ghosts of the Great Highway, but it's an enjoyable listen.

The wife is stoked on Hot Chip, a tribe of Brits who seem intent on resurrecting the good parts of 80's pop music. Fun stuff.

If you want some borderline catatonic retro-electro stuff that'd go unnoticed in the soundtrack of an Antonioni flick circa 1968, check out Silent Movie by Quiet Village. It's just 'there' enough to avoid being wallpaper, which makes it great music for work.
