Weekly Indie News: Lisa Germano, Le Loup, Noah And The Whale, Volcano Choir

Lisa Germano "Magic Neighbor" / Rachel Grimes "Book Of Leaves" / Islands "Vapours" / Le Loup "Family" / Noah & The Whale "First Days Of Spring" / The Twilight Sad "Forget The Night Ahead" / Volcano Choir "Unmpa" / Why? "Eskimo Snow"

Pretty exciting week ahead, with a bunch of new releases out:

LISA GERMANO – “Magic Neighbor“, new album on Young God Records. Listen to “Snow” (MP3).

RACHEL GRIMES – “Book Of Leaves” (Karate Body / Ruminance). First piano solo album from one of The Rachel’s core members. More info and MP3 here.

ISLANDS – “Vapours” (Anti). The Canadians seem to have lost most of what once made them interesting. You may still listen to “Vapours” on their MySpace to prove me wrong.

LE LOUP – “Family” (Hardly Art / Talitres). Much expected follow-up to their 2007 magical debut LP. Listen to “Beach Town” (MP3).

NOAH AND THE WHALE – “First Days Of Spring“. Sophomore album and accompanying film are coming out this week in France (already out in the UK; 2 more weeks to wait for the US release). See the trailer below.

THE TWILIGHT SAD – “Forget The Night Ahead” (Fat Cat).

VOLCANO CHOIR – “Unmap” (Jagjaguwar). Intriguing debut of Bon-Iver-mastermind Justin Vermont’s more experimental band. Listen to “Island, IS” (MP3).

WHY? – “Eskimo Snow” (Anticon).

The Sweet Lambs Of Le Loup

We all love cute furry animals, from sweet lambs to grizzly or panda bears. Today for a change, we are inviting Le Loup into the sheep fold.

Let’s take advantage of their lovely pastoral debut video “Planes Like Vultures” to introduce you to this collective of 8 musicians. Since 2006 when they formed in Washington, DC, Le Loup quickly proved to be a master at weavering a delicate and enthralling folk, nurrished with slightly psychedelic, repetitive rythms, aerial voices, keyboards and banjo, not to omit a few guitar surges.

Make sure not to miss their debut LP, “The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millennium General Assembly“, out on Sub Pop subsidiary Hardly Art, and on the worth-following Bordeaux-based label Talitres for France.
