EL VY – Return to the Moon

Here's the new collaboration between Matt Berninger (of the National) and Brent Knopf (of Ramona Falls), doing the title track from their record on Conan. Also, their touring drummer has been Andy Stack of Wye Oak.

I can't play my favorite track off this album, since this is a family website, so instead, here's a stripped-down version of the closing track, "Careless".

I hope we're not all supposed to be putting our 2015 lists in these, cause...mine's not totally ready yet.

NO (Black English) – Leave the Door Wide Open

These guys released an album earlier this year under the band name NO (which is kind of a terrible name because it's impossible to search for) before changing their name to Black English (which is kind of a terrible name because it's kind of a terrible name). So hopefully they keep working the name thing out, but in the meantime, they sound pretty good.

Dude kind of sounds like a Kiwi Matt Berninger to me.

The War on Drugs – An Ocean in Between the Waves

"Beer commercial lead-guitar sh*t" - Mark Kozelek

(Spoiler alert: Although it will be somewhere near the top of my 2014 list, I don't think I'm going to get to anything off of Benji this week. That's Koz's punishment for being such a grumpy old dick.)

Wild Beasts – Wanderlust

Seems like most of these guys' songs are about doing the dirty. Except for this next one, which might be about being the father of Godzilla or something like that.
