Wolf People

Here's some good rock for you: Wolf People. They're British and they have one album out, called Steeple. It's very good. Great, classic sound. They remind me of White Denim, so if you like this, go listen to that also.

The opening track of Steeple is great. It's called Silbury Sands.

And here's another good one, Castle Keep. It's very long, but you will enjoy the whole thing.

POLIÇA

So far, this is my favorite new act of the year. And you know who agrees with me? Two-time Grammy award winning artist Justin Vernon, of Bon Iver fame. Their debut album came out last month and it is ridiculously good. Here's my two favorite tracks.

First up, I See My Mother, which is my favorite.



And then Violent Games, which is also pretty freaking awesome.

First Aid Kit

And I'm back on the Swedes again. There's something about those people, they just make great music.

First Aid Kit is a Swedish sister duo who sing folk music. Really good folk music. With really good harmonies. They released their sophomore album, The Lion's Roar, earlier this year and you can hear how much they've developed since their first album a couple years ago. The album is already a front runner for my top 10 this year (along with the new Chairlift album, which I'll have to blog about later). Best track by far is the opening/title track, The Lion's Roar.

I love a great opening track. And this album also comes with a great closing track, King of the World. Everything in between is also great, which is nice because a great opening and closing track always makes me want to listen to the album one more time when it finishes, despite how the middle sounds. But in this case, it's all worth it. Anyway, I highly doubt that this is the official video. Very strange selection by whoever put this on youtube.
