I've been listening to some new tunes since Christmas. I'd say each of these buys was well worth it.
Samantha Shelton. You might know her.

Think Elf. Connect that to Zooey Deschanel. Samantha is the other half of that duo. (And Zooey has a new partner -- She & Him. Also worth checking out!) Her ep definitely has some twang to it - but not in a ho-down sort of way; Good Morning, Tonight is refreshing and familiar all at once.

Oh my goodness! Take Strokes drummer, Fabrizio Moretti, Brazilian Rodrigo
Amarante (of Los Hermanos), and add Binki Shapiro. Moretti and Amarante met in Lisbon, where they both had performed at a festival. Amarante came to the US a year later to record with Devendra Banhart. Somehow Moretti and Amarante met up with Shapiro and musical delight was born! Guitar, bass, piano, melodica, glockenspiel, percussion, ukulele, organ, melotron, and lovely lovely voices!

Oh just absolutely wonderful. Splendid. I looove this girl! Please, if you are reading this, do me (rather, do yourself) a favor and listen to "Jungle Drum" as soon as you can. You might have heard her in LOTR -- "Gollum Song." Emiliana is from Iceland (just like Sigur Ros! Another of my favorites...their album this year is fantastic) but her dad is Italian. I think. Anyways, she's charming.
