Album: Woke On A Whaleheart
Label: Drag City
Myspace: Bill Callahan

Artist: Dntel

Myspace: Dntel

MoB: “If what you’ve come to expect and appreciate from James isn’t enough, vocal contributions from Jenny Lewis, Edward Droste, and Conor Oberst combine to create the zenith of his recording catalogue to date.” Read the rest of our thoughts on Dumb Luck here.
Artist: Cornelius
Album: Sensuous
Label: Everloving
Myspace: Cornelius
MoB: I’m late in getting into these guys, but enjoying the hell out of this album. It’s the type of record that all my friends would love, even though they probably don’t know about it – that will change.
I absolutely whole-heartedly agree with the Dntel record. While the past Dntel stuff was good for what it was, his leaning more towards his Postal Service work as well as the inclusion of stellar guest appearances is worth its weight.. and wait. I listened to the dern thing about five times in a row straight through when I got my hands on it.
You must also go check out Pela’s highly-anticipated debut LP “Anytown Graffiti”. It’s been one of my albums of the year for the past few weeks. Fans of Menomena and the National should likey.
