Lately, I’ve been “down” on new music so I’ve been spending a little extra time disocvering new stuff. What I discover, often, isn’t new at all. The following are the groups I’ve fallen in love with, but many, many years after everyone (… they’re certainly not for everyone) else has:

  • Neutral Milk Hotel – Discovered via Pandora. Haven’t released anything in over a decade.
  • Beirut – Discovered via Spotify. Been around since 2006 making more or less the same stuff. Absolutely love it.
  • The Decemberists – Discovered via a coworker. Still making new stuff that I don’t particularly enjoy, but their 2007 stuff has been in my regular playlist for a year or two.
  • Death Cab For Cutie – Discovered via Pandora. Still making new stuff that I enjoy, but I like them most circa 2005.

You ever experience this?

And since I’ve got your attention, I ought to take this time to also share my other favorite bands of the moment that you [possibly] may have not heard of:

Happy listening!
