The Mary Onettes release their first single in two years, the press release described it as "imagine a Swedish equivalent of The National on a diet of speed, Planet Earth DVDs and Go-Betweens singles and you’ll have a vague idea of how wonderful this is!" Take a listen.

Neko Case - Middle Cyclone

Why do Neko Case's new album Middle Cyclone attract me? Not just for the interesting album cover(holding a sword on a muscle car?!) but also her extraordinary narrative style. How do you expect a song called 'This Tornado Loves You' would sounds like if you've never listen to Neko Case's music before? Not typical folk songs-- her songs may be simple but what and how they evoke you, is a feeling that makes her songs so unforgettable; like the way the cryptic lyrics ("I'm a men-eater") and delicate backdrop comes together as a beautiful melody that is the track 'People Got A Lotta Nerve'. Middle Cyclone not only once again proven Neko Case as a master songwriter but also a gorgeous singer. Though each songs were carefully crafted, it still feels softly spontaneous. I'd be a shame if you missed Middle Cyclone.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs-It's Blitz!

Even though every time my favorite bands' new album comes out, I'd instantly regard it as the best. Some people said that Yeah Yeah Yeahs has gone soft on this album, I still think otherwise.With much more disco-beat than ever, Karen O's voice was slightly warmer but still with an inimitable edge. Starting from the opening song 'Zero' to the 5th song 'Dull Life,' I've already been on a rollercaoster ride; It's Blitz! is an immensely exciting album, the release date was forced to push forward to March 9 due to the early leak on the internet, please please please, listen to It's Blitz! ,it's really a blitz!
