What album/song are you addicted to atm?

Lately I've been digging into the new Hop Along album, "Painted Shut". On one hand they're a fairly standard indie rock outfit, but on the other I think their frontwoman, singer/songwriter Frances Quinlin, really elevates the band to a whole new level. Her vocals are incredibly acrobatic, and she really has a knack for creating powerful melodies, in addition to being a very vivid lyricist. Honestly I think she might be one of the most badass women in the music industry, a really remarkable talent. The album feels like a sophomore effort though, some of the songs don't feel as tight as others. I think in a few years, with a bit more experience under her belt, Frances could really become one of the stand-out performers in the modern independent music scene, and I'm not just saying because I have a bit of a crush.... *cough*

The rest of the band is okay too, I guess :p



 
A reminder that two of the most appealing instruments in pop music are acoustic guitar and female vocal.

 
smackydowners, that st Vincent is awesome. I've liked her since I heard her on Saturday Night Live. In fact she just played a few months ago around where I live. I can't think yet, still waking up, so back to Phish. Maze and Its Ice are playing on heavy rotation in my head.
 
I'm in dire need of a new band to obsess over.

I'm tired of Nirvana.
I'm tired of The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
I'm tired of REM.
I'm tired of Neil young.
I'm tired of the White Stripes.
I'm tired of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
I'm tired of Gary Clark JR.
I'm tired of the Black Angels.
I'm tired of Dead Meadow.

Surely there's something out there for me?
 
I like this. I hadn't heard it before but it makes me feel like I'm floating through space.

I didn't like David Bowie before I was traumatized. I like him now.
