The two man instrumental band known as The American Dollar has done it again!
Their latest album, Atlas, provides a vast soundscape with some fresh perspective. There’s more character in this album and they took some risks by trying some new techniques and sounds.
Check out their MySpace and grab the album if you enjoy it as much as I do.

David Bazan is the greatest songwriter of this decade. There I said it. The Christians hate him because he’s turned his back on them, the atheists scoff at him because he still talks about God. He may have lost his faith but he hasn’t lost his ability to engineer lyrical genius. After a long wait and a string of house shows across the west coast Bazan released his highly anticipated full-length solo album a few months ago. Curse Your Branches from Barsuk records is in stores now and on iTunes.

I’m really going to miss the summer time, here are two songs that I’ll keep listening to well into the school year. This ones for Hallie with a special thanks to Mike for his sophisticated musical taste.

The fires in Southern California are incredibly dangerous, scary, and costly. I wish we never had to deal with wildfires but in all the destruction there is something awfully beautiful that serves as a reminder of how powerless we really are.

Here’s one of the better remixes from the Passion Pit remix contest in anticipation of their upcoming album. I also had to throw in a track off Bromst by Dan Deacon because they both make some very strange and wonderful music.
