Sondre Lerche





Down came the sky

And all you did was blink

I would cry like I never do

In order to stay true

But everybody has their own opinion on such

They're all much alike alike alike

One hundred of a million is worth penning dead down

So why am I writing to the moon?

Dirty Three- Toward the Low Sun



Toward the Low Sun is what the Dirty Three do best: enigmatic instrumentals that redefine the notions of power in a power trio, a three-headed beast that trades off thoughts with nuance and grace, like a Cerebus dancing a waltz, then knocking back a beer at the bar. You can hear Ellis' aggressive, Grinderman scrape and buzz all over opener "Furnace Skies," one of their all-time best songs.

Say Anything- I want to know your plans



Lyrics:
I want to know your plans and how involved in them I am.
When I go to sleep for good will I be forgiven?
And If you want roses you can go buy a bouquet.
If that just won't cut it, well what can I say?

The Civil Wars

Photo: TheCivilWars.com
In some ways, music doesn't get much more modest or minimalist than it is in the hands of The Civil Wars, a duo comprised of California-to-Nashville transplant Joy Williams and her Alabaman partner, John Paul White. They travel without a backup band, and on their first full-length album, Barton Hollow, the bare-bones live arrangements that fans hear on the road are fleshed out with just the barest of acoustic accoutrements. Each song is an intimate conversation, and no third wheels or dinner-party chatter are going to interrupt that gorgeous, haunting hush.
