the ariel pink album before today is worth checking out.
NOME DE MAR by Maria Ana Bobone is in large Fado album but it leads the singer to the territories of baroque, traditional Portuguese music and beautiful themes by Ricardo Rocha. The most amazing and charming is that the beautiful voice of Maria Ana Bobone moves easily over these various areas. In turn, the genius of Ricardo Rocha is well marked in the instrumental version of Canção de Alcipe. Of course, Ricardo Rocha shines here on guitar Portuguese (to hear him is always a privilege).
‘Segu Blue’ is the first solo album by Malian ngoni player Bassekou Kouyate. Bassekou is one of the true masters of the ngoni, an ancient traditional lute found throughout West Africa, and he has collaborated with many musicians in and outside of Mali: He played in the Symmetric trio alongside Toumani Diabate (kora) and Keletigui Diabate (balafon). He was part of Taj Mahal’s and Toumani Diabate’s ‘Kulanjan’ project, as well as being one of the key musicians on Ali Farka Toure’s posthumous album ‘Savane’ which was released July 2006. Most recently, he toured with Ali Farka Toure leaving a lasting impression on the audience as the band’s solo ngoni player.

I don't really care for them... I do like Drivan, this soft and forgettable shit from Kim Hiorthoy's new band, on the same label.

that track "18 hours of love" is entirely different than everything else on the album -- the only "rock" beat on the thing -- and not as good as the rest. i don't mean to go overboard in praising them, but it's a cool record.

Tough question but bandsh nailed it.
Forest Swords is one of the best new dudes I've heard in this field. Sun Araw has that psyched-out heavy, bassy dub thing going on too. Even more so maybe. They share something though. A heavy heat haze covering drawn out indie/psych jams. Really enjoy it.
I always sugest Deerhunter they're one of the only indie bands that I can still follow and not feel let down by. The front man has a solo thing too called Atlas Sound and its quality. its not far off Deerhunter but with more bedroom electroics behind it. New album on the way late september too. But they have plenty out already. Cryptograms is so good and Microcastle is a gem too. New one should be good...
Not to much else has been floating my boat really, I mean Esben and the Witch just got singed to Matador and they're really good. But also really young so it wont be a while untill they drop much vid up here though if you want a taster: http://www.esbenandthewitch.co.uk/ Daniel one the group is always tuning into my ustreams he's a legend.
