Indigo Girls – Poseidon and the Bitter Bug

Indigo Girls Poseidon and the Bitter Bug

An out and out Americana Folk album from Amy Ray and Emily Saliers.
It’s a two CD release. One is a full on studio album, the second is an acoustic version.
Dump the studio CD in the bin and just play the acoustic disc.

Chairlift – Does You Inspire You

Chairlift - Do You Inspire You

Recognised by the use of their track ‘Bruises’ on the Apple iPod Nano ad last year.
Aaron Pfenning, Caroline Polachek and Patrick Wimberly make some great electropop sweeping sounds.
But they also have a slower darker side.

They are playing a few dates in the UK in late October 2009.

End of the summer holiday, so a lack of posts.
The good news is that I had my iPhone loaded with a “sort this stuff” playlist :)
