Normally I would share the new releases today, but seeing how they are not that good (except the new Toro Y Moi June 2009), I won't waste your time with them. Instead, I'll share Norse Horse's newest EP Grids which came out in August last year. Some really elegant pop-rock that gets easily stuck into your head. With some cool guitar work reminiscent of Real Estate, Norse Horse also mixes in some really spacey synth lines as well. Check out both Grids and Secret Geographies (2009) below.
Next up is another Californian band called Eux Autres (Ooz Oh-tra). They just came out with a 6 track album back in February called Sun Is Sunk. This is a really great garage-pop album that keeps your toe tapping and your head bobbing and your booty shakin'. They describe their music as sounding "like the unrequited love song Doug Martsch would have penned for Francoise Hardy, had the space/time continuum conveniently collapsed." That is a really DIY style that makes you want to dance on the beach and just be generally goofy. You can buy the album here along with checking out the rest of the discography, or just listen to it below.

Oh To Be Young and Evil
The Young Evils is an up and coming band from Seattle, WA. Their debut album, Enchanted Chapel is out now and you can stream it for free on their bandcamp site here. The album is a great mix of feel good rock 'n' roll and folk music. Right now they are unsigned, but the album was produced by Barrett Jones who has done albums with Nirvana and The Melvins. It is a great summer-y type of album and I highly recommend it. If you have the chance to see them live, take it.
Now going in a different direction is Norse Horse. Ryan Beal shows that he is one of the best that can loop guitars in a sweepingly hypnotic rhythm, while making it easy to listen to. According to his record label, Family Time Records, Mr. Beal is currently working on a follow up to his debut album Secret Geographies, which is sold out. Check out "Swamp Trotter" and other great songs here.
