I’m back, lovelies, from the cold and wintery artistic dead. Even in a funk the music tends to set a mood; lately I’ve opted for the bleary experimental-folkiness of Grizzly Bear and Akron/Family. The latter, composed of three multi-talented instrumentalists, create in their songs either a glorious buildup of noise/non-noise or a dreamy melancholy–never in between. Grizzly Bear, who have garnered significant buzz on the internet lately, are more precise in their melancholy. You know that kind of loneliness you get when you can’t fucking get to writing / painting / drawing / designing / creating and nobody else understands? The mix between the echoes of quiet sounds and the chaos of frustration seethe through these two acts in a way that many of the records on my shelf fail to do.
Akron/Family - Don’t Be Afraid You’re Already Dead
P.S. : check out the awesome video for this grizzly bear song:

audio wanderlust, the blog!
is written erratically by jen; a girl who loves traveling and has a ridiculously long list of all-time favorites. she runs a fledgling record label, applebird records.
this blog encourages everyone to BUY RECORDS. the record industry is failing and good music is dying along with it. myspace has bastardized the talent network and radiohead is monopolizing on the mixed messages about the value of music. support your starving artists.
if you need us to remove a song, or need something that's expired, email us at applebirdrecords [at] gmail [dot] com and we'll get rid of it asap. THX. -
