I got the new Atlas Sound album, Logos, yesterday (Tuesday - Oct. 20). I am not sure if it is just the mood I am in, but I have listened to this thing probably eight times in the past two days. Enjoying it quite a bit thus far. Check out a couple of tracks below. The first one is "Walkabout" which features Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear from Animal Collective) and the second one is "Shelia". I don't know what you call this stuff...fractured dream pop? Either way, I like it.

The Dutchess & The Duke are back this month with a follow-up to one of my favorite albums from last year, She's the Dutchess, He's the Duke. The sophomore effort, Sunset/Sunrise came out earlier this month, and has been on heavy rotation over the past couple of weeks. Check out album opener, "Hands" below. These guys have always been able to tap into that late 60's folk rock movement, and this track/album is no different. First thing that always comes to mind with Dutchess/Duke stuff is Beggar's Banquet era Stones, but they borrow from everyone making great folk rock during the late 60's (which is a pretty large group of folks). Still too early to see if this will stand up as well as their debut, but I don't see me tiring of it anytime soon.

Some more of that affluent east coast island pop/rock that was so damn hard to stop listening to last year can be downloaded (for free) at the link below. Feel free to hate them, but it is most likely just jealousy. If this track, and their stellar debut album, is any indication, these guys are legit. New album drops January 2010.
