Caribou – Swim

Merge / buy

Dan Snaith is the mind behind Caribou, an electo-pop explosion turning heads and tapping toes with his second LP release, Swim. Snaith gained attention and adoration for his debut, Andorra, back in ’07. Non-electro fans don’t be shy, there are a few tracks on this album you’ll dig.

Horse Feathers- Thistled Spring

Kill Rock Stars / buy

Thistled Spring is the third album from Portland’s folk quartet Horse Feathers. Lead by Idaho native Justin Ringle, expect the same rustic, acoustic and strings driven tracks as records past, this time with a significant focus on the Spring season. Horse Feathers are stopping by the Beachland Ballroom Monday, April 26th with Cloud Nothings opening the bill.

Plants and Animals – La La Land

Secret City / buy

Indie Rock bands out of Montreal rarely disappoint me, and Plants and Animals are no exception. This week marks the release of La La Land, the groups sophomore release out on Secret City Records. It’s an eclectic mix of sounds, holding your attention from cover to cover. Clevelanders can catch ‘em at the Grog Shop May 12th.
