TUNE TO HEAR pt 8
Halcyon Digest was just released on September 28th 2010 from American indie-rock band Deerhunter. This being their fourth studio album, it is interesting to look back; as a group they have progressed a lot from their very first album "Turn it up Faggot" released in 2005. An album, that to say the least was little more than noise. In 2008, they released Microcastle, a surreal collection of dream like melodies and angry post- punk instruments. Since then they have developed a sound categorized under several genres from punk-rock to ambient. This new album proves a little more sustainability with easy going tracks like "Revival" and "Desire Lines". About the title, vocalist Bradford Cox stated "The album's title is a reference to a collection of fond memories and even invented ones, like my friendship with Ricky Wilson or the fact that I live in an abandoned victorian autoharp factory. The way that we write and rewrite and edit our memories to be a digest version of what we want to remember, and how that's kind of sad."

TUNE TO HEAR pt 7
http://www.myspace.com/wewerepromisedjetpacksIndie rock band We Were Promised Jetpacks hails from Edinburgh, Scotland where they formed in 2003 and played their first show together, winning their school's battle of the bands competition. Since then, this young band has moved to Glasgow, been discovered and signed by label Fat Cat Records, and have released one studio album called These Four Walls. The band has cited label- mates Frightened Rabbit as an influence, but their sound consists of a fast paced drum beat similar to that of band Joy Division, and a lead singer hollering with a thick Scottish accent. The band is currently on tour with Jimmy Eat World around North America. For more information check out the band's myspace page, link posted above.
