I just discovered Portugal. The Man last week on AXS channel playing some live music. I am blown away at how good they are. They are coming to Detroit in June and I am really wanting to see them. It looks like they put on a really good live show based on some clips I have watched, and the Kimmel show last night. That new song (the one on Kimmel) posted a few posts up is great!

Mmm, I guess I'm going to be bumping shoulders with my Detroit goon bro come June. I didn't know they were coming here, that's great news!

Heads-up: I've recently been obsessed with a singer-songwriter named Angel Olsen. She mostly does acoustic-vocal-bass work and it's just gorgeous. She has this wavering, soaring voice that's difficult to compare to anyone else - "a female Will Oldham" is the best I can come with.

Angel Olsen will be in Brooklyn this Sunday.

Seconding this, folky and soulful stuff... I started listening to her a few months back when Bat for Lashes started talking about Angel Olson during an Interview, thank you XMU.

This is p. good, just poppy enough to not be completely lost in shoegaze mud.

And the Portugal album is ok. Only a couple things grabbed me first time through, but we'll see if it grows.

Mmm, I really enjoyed the Portugal album. It had five songs which I loved and the tracks in between those songs were solid enough that I never skipped around. I've been jamming really hard to Modern Jesus and Purple, Yellow, Red & Blue like all week.

Yes, they are rapidly becoming a favorite band. Eyelid movies felt a bit to long with a bit to much filler, but the ep after that was one of my favorite records of last year and this new one is also really really good.

I saw them (i use the word saw lightly as I was to far back to see much) at bonnaroo and all the tracks that felt kinda weak on album sounded much much better and I have a bit more appreciation for them (sixteen years gives me chills now). Pretty excited about a new tour and a smaller venue.

Dude, I saw them this past Monday and walked in not knowing one song, it was intense. They were more than fantastic live... you're going to be so drat pumped after that show.

Also, the Future Islands were with them and that dude was nuts to watch live too.

Could just live in the post-apocalyptic land that is Metro-Detroit like me and stumble into shows. Zero murdering required, you will likely want to kill yourself though. Just kidding it's great here.

I could never hear another Sleigh Bells song ever again and be totally happy. All of their stuff sounds like a woman singing in her car during a traffic jam in the middle of a construction zone by the airport.

This however...

I've been listening to Lucius pretty obsessively ever since I saw their Tiny Desk Concert about nine months ago

Is fantastic, thanks dude/brosahphine! I'll go enjoy them for the both of us on Oct. 29th when they come my way.

Since there's been some Lucius love up in here, I just want to point out that their album is one of Amazon's $5 albums for November.

I have been listening to this record non-stop for like three weeks, and I got to see them this Monday... SOOO good live.

Maybe the Moon Hooch fans here would dig Misteur Valaire.

You weren't wrong, enjoyed Don't Get La' a lot.

So a couple months back I saw Kishi Bashi in Northampton, and holy crap, he was fantastic. Before then I'd just heard 151a, his debut studio album. It was nice, happy indie pop, but not that memorable. His live stuff is a lot more exciting. More improvisation, more energy, and (pardon my musical ignorance) some looping thing with the violin. Check him out!

Live in Norfolk:

Agreed, he mentioned the last time he was here in Detroit that he'd have a new album out by March, which I'm really excited for.
