The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love

Wow, I'm impressed by this album. I've always loved this band and I actually had no idea they released an album this year. A fantastic progression from The Crane Wife (which is one of my favorite indie/folk albums).

Edit: updated the first page with Sam Cassel's links and The Decemberists.

[alvarezbassist17]

i just put that on for the first time, and i must say, i'm enjoying it a lot.  thanks for the hook up!

[stapezee]

I loved the Long Distance Calling and Zombi.  Thanks so much for these guys.  Fucking Fantastic.!!!

[alvarezbassist17]

[Starz]

Glad you're all liking the Long Distance Calling

[Starz]

Cool!

Japandroids- Postnothing   (For fans of Promise Ring, At the Drive-in, Really great summer driving experience)
Mos Def- Ecstatic (Nothing really to say here.  It's fucking Mos Def)
Grizzly Bear- Veckatimest (One of the best albums of the year, hands down.  Radiohead without the terrible vocals and lyrical drivel)
Dirty Projectors- Bitte Orca (A wonderful album, really beautiful and charming)
Animal Collective- Animal Crack Box, Rough Trade Mix (Both are extraneous...Crack Box is a bunch of live stuff, however RTM is a group of hand-selected artists that influences AC...really good stuff)
Bat For Lashes- Two Suns (Folk music, electronic, atmospheric.  Really good for night driving.
Crystal Antlers- Tentacles (Slimy lo-fi that kinda drags in areas but puts you in a weird/good mood)
Deerhunter- Rainwater Cassette Exchange (Of course, this is great.  More relaxed shoegaze from these fellers)
Neon Indian- Psychic Chasms EP (Dance music with charm from a relatively unknown source.  Looking forward to future releases)
Ponytail- Ice Cream Spiritual (Noise pop, similar to Deerhoof in the vocals.  A Japanese girl freaks out, a band behind her plays tunes reminiscent of Lightning Bolt)
Sonic Youth- The Eternal (Not their best album, but some awesome songs are on here.  If you don't listen to Sonic Youth...)
Teenage Cool Kids- Foreign Lands (Built to Spill worshippers who do enough to create their own lo-fi cute sound)
Woods- Songs of Shame (psych-folk, the name of the band is perfectly placed.  You feel like you're camping out stoned)
Women- Women (dirty lo-fi, Liars with a shorter attention-span)

just type it in google with mediafire and away we go.

Nice man. Yeah, I should have included Crack the Skye but I reallllllly burnt myself out on that album. Had it like a month early and listened to it everyday. Im sure it'll creep back into my rotation soon.
