New Amazing Releases

A few incredible cd's worth noting have come out recently.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise: this cd is amazing. The album has many instruments such as the accordian, banjo, cello, etc. The songs are very layered, and sufjan's voice is worth noting. Although slower music, this cd is not as slow as say iron and wine or belle and sebastian. People who do not like slow music will have no problem with it.

Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah!- Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah! : this band is the new Arcade Fire. They sound like a cross between the Violent Femmes and the Talking Heads. At times they sound like Interpol or the Arcade Fire. Good luck trying to get it though. Hot Dog Records in Oxford has it.
