I know that it's been mentioned on Hubski already but I really dove in to Vampire Weekends new album due to a hearty endorsement from sounds_sound. It's a really great listen all the way through. As s_s mentioned to me in his endorsement, the panning on the album is pretty sweet. If you listen, headphones are a must. The panning of the percussion is particularly engaging. As someone that experimented with a bunch of hard-panning in the past, I realize how difficult it is to use it and not take the listener out of the song. This also goes for using vocal effects, it can be distracting if not used properly but Vampire Weekend does a fantastic job of toggling that line on this album. If you've not checked it out already, I would suggest it. It's a good listen.

I also listened to Grizzly Bear per jonaswildman's suggestion and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I got the album Shields and while I enjoyed it, some of the tracks were definitely stronger than others, the track that I linked to "Yet Again" being the strongest imo. I have a feeling that this album could really grow on me though as it's not nearly as overtly melodic as the Vampire Weekend album, for example.

I also listened to an older album that I've always loved The New Pornographers, Twin Cinema. This album has two great back to back tracks on it Sing Me Spanish Techno and Falling Through Your Clothes, and the rest of the album is great too. If you're already a fan of The New Pornographers but you've not checked out A.C Newman's solo stuff, be sure to check it out. Here's one of my favorites that never got any hubski love :)

Good music week for me.
