First Listen – Fleet Foxes and The Antlers

NPR is offering up a first listen to what are sure to be two of the better/best albums of 2011.

If you haven’t researched and located a copy of Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues(out May 3) yet – here is your chance to listen to the groups sophomore release.

One of our most anticipated releases this year is The Antlers Burst Apart(out May 10). Their SXSW show – which they played the entire album front to back – only made us more hungry for a taste. This is the follow up to the hauntingly beautiful Hospice. Listen here.

P.S. Don’t forget your headphones.

Josh Ritter – NPR Tiny Desk Concert

NPR strikes again. This time with another wonderful Tiny D. with Josh Ritter. Well – the first with Josh Ritter. But another wonderful Tiny Desk Concert. That’s what we’re getting @.

Ritter was responsible for one of our favorite albums of 2010 – So Runs The World Away. Still probably one of the more underrated unknown singer-songwriters out there. Just sayin’.
