Wild Beasts – This Is Our Lot (from ‘Two Dancers’)

Tonight UK’s Wild Beast will be playing a show at The Music Hall of Williamsburg. I was already going to be in the neighborhood and since it’s been ages since I’ve seen a show, I had a friend pick me up tickets before I was aware who was playing. Seems I accidentally invited myself to a decent show. Opening acts tonight are the reverb soaked Violens & Canada’s raw indie rockers Still Life Still. The latter I’m pretty curious to check out live.

Here’s a track off Wild Beast’s 2009 release Two Dancers:

Red Sparowes – Giving Birth To Imagined Saviors (from ‘The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer’)

Los Angeles’s Red Sparowes are slated to release their next album The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer on April 6th of this year, which happens to be my birthday. Yay! The band has added a new member since their last release and is carrying the torch proudly for really bombastic post rock song titles and equally expressive songs. Take a listen to the 4th track on the forthcoming album, which hits a fantastic peak that well merits use of the descriptor ‘epic’. ‘Crescendo’ is also applicable , but it’s not as flashy.
