Neva Dinova, The Moth & The Mirror

The Moth & The Mirror

Why has no-one ever told me about Neva Dinova? Anyone? Anyway. They're from Omaha and play very nice soft, folksy indie country. That's the best description I can offer. People who are into the late Bright Eyes are definitely going to like these guys.

Also, you should check out The Moth & The Mirror from Glasgow, they play incredibly warm indie pop. Listen to the song Soft Insides, it was instantly my new favourite song. Their live cover version of MGMT's Kids is cute!

Buy Nena Dinova — You May Already Be Dreaming and/or The Moth & The Mirror — Say That It's Summer/Soft Inside.

Highly commended, week 6/09

Stars, Amy Millan, Death Cab For Cutie, Ester Drang

Amy Millan

This weekend's post is a little early because we will be recording the whole weekend. Check out the solo project of Amy Millan who is one of the singers of the band Stars. Skinny Boy is probably one of the best songs of all times. I also really like her cover version of Death Cab For Cutie's I Will Follow You Into The Dark.

I don't actually remember how I came across Ester Drang and if they're any good, but check them out anyway cos they might be.

Arabella Harrisson, The And/Ors

Hello highway, goodbye L.A.! Hier ein Schmankerl für die countryesk angehauchte Singer/Songwriter-Fraktion: Arabella Harrisson. Die Dame spielte seinerzeit Bass spielte bei den And/Ors und davor bei Jejune, welches beides auch endzeitgeile Bands waren.
