Basically the title says it all. I'm always looking for something new or different to listen too. I always like to recommend things to people to listen too. So, let's all share.
Post an album and a write-up of it. You don't have to go into too much detail, but try and give some basic info on the album. If it's a compilation, list who's all on it. You know, tickle peoples fancy.
To kick it off, I'll go first.

Desc. - This was my favorite album of last year, and it's been steadily finding a spot in my absolute favorites list. The debut album of this Aussie quartet is something special. They play a sound all their own that touches on poppy, old-fashioned rock ("The Bell Hit", "The Night is Young"), Radiohead-esque indie ("Low Happening") countryl ("Broken Bones", "In the Woods", "Across the Avenue") and smokey barroom blues ("A Balld for the Bleeding Hearts", "I'm Not Afraid") yet is none of the above. A great sound rooted in the sibling dynamic of Joel Stein's guitar and Juanita Stein's sultry voice, the best review I've read by Anthony Thornton on NME really gives a unique and fitting description of their style. Anyways, it's a terrific work (and I'm eagerly expecting their next album here in a couple of months) and I seriously recommend that anybody who hasn't checked these cats out do so.
