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.

Don't be afraid, you're already dead.

For this weekend I picked two bands. The first one is Akron/Family. I must have had a random mp3 of one of their songs on my computer for years. Today it accidentally played in iTunes and I thought, wow, that's actually pretty good music there. The other band I just started liking is Ra Ra Riot. They're on tour with Death Cab at the moment.

• Ra Ra Riot — Each Year
• Ra Ra Riot — Dying Is Fine
