Awesome i'll get that next then, i'm gonna let this album sink in first though. From what i heard so far they're pretty damn good, they're certainly going to grow on me.

I have heard and love Pride and this one is definitely more country influenced then the last one, not as slow, more upbeat, and just as good. Don't come into it expecting his usual mellow stuff though.

Drake - DL

Local Natives - Gorilla Manor

I had checked out samples of this a couple times before, never did enough for me to warrant a download or purchase. But I've always like the cover art. Anyway a coworker sent me a track yesterday ('Sun Hands') and I like it so I'm gonna check out the whole album.

Demon Days by Gorillaz

Wasn't too much of a fan at first but it's starting to grow on me.

Morcheeba - Blood Like Lemonade

Skye Edwards, the original singer for Morcheeba, is back!

it's very mellow, much more along the lines of Skye's recent solo stuff. a lot more acoustic than her earlier work with Morcheeba.

i dig it :D

Picked up a few interesting things as of late-

Dan Fogelberg - The Innocent Age (1981)

I've always thought this guy, who normally gets lumped in with all the Adult-Contemporary late 80's crowd of sappy singer-songwriters, was fairly underrated - this album is an honest-to-God epic folk smorgasbord of West Coast late 60's nostalgia and post-psychedelia..sort of like the band America without all the shitty songwriting. Hell, this may be the best soft-rock album of all time, and I'm lovin' it quite a bit.

MGMT - Congratulations (2010)

Although I'm probably not alone in this, I'm hella glad this bunch have kicked the Indie-pop thing from their debut and shifted towards songwriting that's hazier, stranger, and generally a lot more interesting from start to finish. My inner proggie would like to point out that the 12 minute Siberian Breaks is fantastic also. ;)

Rage - Unity (2002)

Some good German power metal that sounds like a mixture between Blind Guardian and Nevermore.
