What great band have you just discovered?

The Brian Jonestown Massacre. I'm late because anton seems to have exiled himself from the US, but then again they too were late. If I played a mix of 60's psych jangle rock you wouldn't know when the 90's band slipped in.

The War on Drugs has been an awesome re-invention of classic rock through a new lense; great effects and dylan-esque singing:

My really cool discovery especially after a foray through Thurston's Trees Outside the Academy: Kurt Vile. Kurt played guitar in the war on drugs, but has also done some solo stuff which is excellent...listening to Smoke Ring For My Halo right now. It kinda inspires me to play guitar more, and it's excellent work and great listening.

I forget but I think towards the end of this year. Maybe October or something if my memory is serving me correctly.
 
Das Racist: it's fun to do bad things, like rhyme about hand guns

Since Das Racist is more of an electronic/rap fusion now than it used to be when they first started making music, I figured I would put this here!

Anyone else listen to Das Racist at all? I'm a pretty big fan of their newer stuff (especially Shut Up, Dude).

Try listening to their songs, "Rainbow in the Dark" and "Shut Up, Dude". What I love about das racist is they don't take themselves seriously (like every other rapper in the entire world does?? LOL). I think it's the electro influence and the "devil may care" attitude that makes them just not give fucks. If this is in the wrong forum, please move, but I think it fits more in the EMD than NEMD because of how heavily its influence by electronic music.

What do you mean by this? I have one of their two mixtapes from last year, and every track is produced by someone else. Do they produce their own beats now? I'd just say they're a rap group that opt for producers that are popular in the indie-dance-pop scene (for instance; Chairlift, Teengirl Fantasy and Diplo each produce a beat on Sit Down, Man). It's still hip hop.

I like what I've heard from them. They can be kinda funny. And chitown rollin, I'd put their rapping style closer to DOOM than Ludacris. In the way they use non-sequitors and the odd nerdy references.

Ha, I thought I was the only one on this planet thinking that band was totally the shizzle.
