ASC's last record (Low Level Owl) is one of my all-time desert-island favourite albums, and while the new one isn't _quite_ up to that standard, it's still pretty amazing. It's highly melodic, emo-tinged indie rock (think Death Cab For Cutie), with some of the most beautiful songwriting you're likely to hear all year. I consider these guys one of the best independent bands in the world right now...if you can't wait until October for the new DCFC album to come out, this should tide you over nicely! :) I also highly recommend the new album from Scout, "This Soft Life". They're another great indie rock band from NYC...in the same vein as early-to-mid-90s bands like the Blake Babies and Bettie Serveert, but what really sets them apart is frontwoman Ashen Keilyn, who has an incredible, smoky voice that just gives me shivers. This might be a bit hard to track down, but it's well worth the effort. *********************************** Mike Keast (mikekeast@email.com) - -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup CareerBuilder.com has over 400,000 jobs.

From AMG: Named for the way they traded sounds and ideas, the Postal Service is an electronica-meets-indie-rock supergroup featuring Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel and Figurine and Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard; Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis and former Tattle Tale-r and solo artist Jen Wood provide backing vocals. Tamborello and Gibbard first worked together on the title track of Dntel's This is the Dream of Evan and Chan EP; from there, the duo continued to collaborate via mail, with Tamborello sending electronic pieces and Gibbard adding guitars, vocals and lyrics. The results, Give Up, were released in early 2003 by Sub Pop. ~ Heather Phares __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Also, speaking of Rilo Kiley, their latest, "The Execution of All Things" is quite a nice treat as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Tittel DreamsAwake Music NetRadio, CD and Concert Reviews, Artist Development, Photography, and more www.dreamsawake.com "Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake". -- Henry David Thoreau Click here to Listen to Jericho Two, indie-rock, folk, and 90's alternative internet radio www.dreamsawake.com/jericho2 "I can't live without this music in my blood, it gets me up when I'm feeling down, and I cannot sleep when this music is not around, a wise man once said to me, one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain!!!
