swan lake consists of carey mercer (frog eyes), spencer krug (wolf parade and sunset rubdown), and dan bejar (destroyer and new pornographers) so in theory this should be the best band in the world, or at least, in canada. whether that is indeed the case remains to be seen but this song, all fires, is certainly promising. the album arrives in november and is called beast moans.
i stumbled upon this cover on pitchforkmedia. now i'm not a huge fan of velvet underground (i know, i know... but i won't go into that) and covers are rarely good but i like this one:
DeVotchKa - Venus in Furs
ladyhawk from vancouver sort of remind me of okkervil river. pretty nice stuff: the dugout
and since i mentioned okkervil river, why not listen to for real once again. it's such a nice song.
and check out patrick phelan. his album cost had been sitting on my desk for a while and i never really got into it but one day.... favour. nice and poppy.
i also rediscoverd centro_matic: calling thermatico
and snowden from atlanta just released their first ep (?) or album (?) - well, they released something and it isn't bad at all: anti-anti
