Water Curses6 reviews
Animal Collective
Paradise Recordings, 2008
Wanna be like water
+ Short, but Sweet
+ Emotions
Imagine a space party under a river -- if that sounds appealing, then the Animal Collective's latest might be to your taste.
This New York experimental-pop band seem to be embracing a more poppy sound in the "Water Curses" EP, along with bubbling samples and a distinctly Beateslesque vocal ...

Sigur Ros
XL Recordings, 2008
Their most accessible yet!!!
+ Love It!
+ More Joyous, Great Music from Sigur Ros
With their fifth album, Icelandic quartet Sigur Rós may have earned the dubious honour of "most un-pronouncable title" or "worst album cover" ever, but it's also their most accessible album, a strong contender for "best album of the year" honours.
If you've never listened to them, it is ...

Crystal Castles
Last Gang Records, 2008
Brilliant, refreshing, and on the edge
+ Very nice!
I'll confess at a first listen I was a bit disappointed with this album. A few cool on line samples drove me to buy the album, but even on 2-3 listens I thought the ablum was more instrumental than vocal, and not very melodic. It was probably the 4th listen that I realized there ARE vocals, ...

Coldplay
Capitol, 2008
Highly recommended (alt, pop, whatever) ROCK CD
+ A Beutifull work of art
I am a Cold Play fan... I think I own all the US released disks; not including imports.
Their musical style is a blend of The Police/Sting & U2... two other groups I appreciate.
I like all the tracks on Viva La Vida.
There are 9 songs with an average run time close to 4 min & 20 sec.

Devotion9 reviews
Beach House
Carpark Records, 2008
Is your heart still mine for sale?
+ Excellent second album
+ another great album from this dynamic duo
The name of Beach House might imply a certain kind of pop -- sunny, frothy, sort of a Beach Boys vibe.
If so, that name is very deceptive, because their music is none of the above. Hailing from Baltimore, Beach House's second album "Devotion" is more like sleeping in a haunted, jewelled music ...
