Indian Jewelry - We Are The Wild Beast (08)

Here it is, Indian Jewelry's follow up to Invasive Exotics off We Are Free records along side their co-bands Yeasayer and Ponytail! It is incredible and just as deviant yet similar to IE as that was to Rattling Death Train. I personally miss the darkness that was Rattling Death Train, but nonetheless We Are The Wild Beast is still smothered with quality.

One of The Top Albums of 2007

Yeasayer

Like nothing you've ever heard. I think this is what we get for the consumption of all those gypsy tears. With such a New York based eclectic sound, bands like The Harlem Shakes, Vampire Weekend, and White Rabbits openly admit that Yeasayer truly owns big for the best competing New York band at this time, debuting in October with their '07 release of All Hour Cymbals on We Are Free Records

White Rabbits

They may be under the impression that they've been overshot by Yeasayer's striking sound, but nonetheless White Rabbits are still sturdy contenders. Although they have been in The City for just over a year, they have managed to catch the attention of Say Hey Records and producer Chris Zane (Shy Child, Asobi Seksu, Les Savy Fav) with their stellar songwriting ability and instrumental aplomb.

Lead by dual vocalists, Greg Roberts (Guitar / Vox) and Steve Patterson (Piano / Vox), the 6 piece is rounded out by Alex Even (Guitar / Vox), Adam Russell (Bass), Matt “The Duck” Clark (Drums) and Jamie Levinson (Drums). With a certain joie de vive, playfulness and charm White Rabbits debut with their 2007 album, Fort Nightly.
