Got these two on cd at a record fair today:
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
I've been meaning to get this album for some time now and i don't know why i've always been putting it off. This is a really beautiful and heartfelt album with some really great lyrics and vocal harmonies. I don't quite see what all the hype is around this album but maybe a few more listens will set that straight. A really good album none the less.
Mazzy Star - Among My Swan
Another album i've been meaning to get around to. I've had the songs 'Roseblood' and 'Flowers In December' knocking around on my laptop for a while but not the whole album so when i saw this i had to get it. This album is really amazing, it seems like a slightly mellower affair than
For Tonight That I Might See and
She Hangs Brightly, and Hope Sandoval's vocals sound as hauntingly gorgeous and sexy as usual. This could very well become my favourite Mazzy Star album. Gorgeous stuff.
