emusic DREI!

every 22nd is christmas for me. new music! woo!

devandra banhart: cripple crow- freak folk is where it's at nowadays. this album, being a freak folk album, is also where it's at.
danielson famile: brother is to son- he's an über-christian folk music experiment wrapped up in a bizarre presentation (his band, indeed his family, dress up like nurses for their shows), but the music hits what i'm looking for nowadays. interesting stuff.
iron & wine/calexico: in the reins- when i was in the deepest trough of my recent and still ongoing depression, i thought i would really like listening to iron & wine. strangely, it doens't work if you're actually depressed. now that i'm on the mend, i find his music much more palitable.
tv on the radio: young liars ep- brooklyn! "desperate youths, bloodthirsty babes" was awesome, so i figured what the hell?
sufjan stevens: greetings from michigan; the great lakes state- also brooklyn! "illinoise" was awesome, so i figured what the hell?
