I thought I was burnt out on Vampire Weekend after absolutely wearing out their first album (and second to a lesser degree) with my kids.
Their latest release is excellent, though.

How can a man be strong, If he can't even lift a telephone and say he's wrong? Powerful stuff

The blogosphere is abuzz with the upcoming release of Deafheaven's new album Sunbather. The titular track is embedded below. Entire album can be streamed at Pitchfork. I confess, it's my kind of metal (does surprising things).

I was a fan of the late 80s shoegaze genre (Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, etc.). I'm reminded of those bands when I listen to Belong by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. I hadn't heard of this band before hearing a song of theirs in a movie recently. A quick search shows that MoreLemonPledge had this album as his 15th best of 2011. Good choice, MLP.

The Sex Prisoner 2012 s/t 7" might have been the hardest thing I heard last year. Their back in 2013 with a new EP. Easily my favorite of the new wave of Crossed Out influenced PV bands. Only 100 pressed to white.

Listening to a local guy's new album. Bluesy, edgy Americana:

Brand new Budd Dwyer. If you were to emulsify (note to work emulsify into future band name) my entire music collection, save for my Trojan box sets, this is what would pour out. Brilliant blend.

Constellations would be so hard to beat. But, the songs from R&R that I gave a whirl last night were really good. |

So now that Deafheaven's album has been out a whole, I'll pose a question to the CP metal fans. Is it as good as the hype, or is the hype caused by the atypical image of Deafheaven (pink album art, cheery album and song titles) causing hype among fans who are not actually metal fans?
This thought crossed my mind after seeing "Sunbather" getting tons of votes for best song of the summer. I mean, if it were a typical metal album cover and title, I don't think people would be saying it was a "summer anthem."

Local badass collection, Shawn James and the Shapeshifters, has out a new video for first release off their album. It's pretty awesome:
