Some really beautiful experimental/ambient music from Austin. Short 5 song mini album but a great first effort.

Justin Townes Earle - The Good Life [2008]
Let's get the obvious out of the way first: Justin Townes Earle's father is Steve Earle, and the sort of folks most likely to be interested in Justin's debut album The Good Life are the same kind of music fans who've been following his dad's work for years. Thankfully for Justin, that's not because he sounds all that much like his old man; Justin's voice is sweeter and clearer, and his clear fondness for old-school country gives The Good Life a pleasing feeling of understatement that's significantly different from Steve's tougher, more rock-oriented work. But if Justin is reaching back to the glory days of the Grand Ole Opry on numbers like "What Do You Do When You're Lonesome," "Hard Livin'," and the title tune, he also reveals a more contemplative side on thoughtful, no-frills singer/songwriter pieces such as the confessional "Who Am I to Say," the period gunman's saga of "Lone Pine Hill," and "Turn out My Lights," a plaintive meditation on loneliness and heartbreak. On the latter songs, Justin's music more closely resembles Steve's, but while the themes and approaches are similar, Justin isn't afraid to sound vulnerable, and the youthful modesty of both the songs and the performances works in their favor; this doesn't suggest the work of someone following Steve Earle's template but of a songwriter who has dealt with a set of similar demons and has a corresponding but distinct perspective on how they've impacted his life. The simple arrangements and hands-off production add to the gentle but decisive impact of The Good Life, and the result is a fine calling card for a young singer/songwriter who may not have worked out every last detail of his sound but clearly knows where he's going, and it happens to be a place worth visiting.

First post. One of my favorites. Enjoy!
NME Review
--- Quote ---With Hope Sandoval and former Mazzy Star collaborator David Roback presumably no longer speaking (interviewers who have dealt with either of the monosyllabic duo would ask, "How could you tell?"), the Nico of the modern age has hooked up with former My Bloody Valentine member Colm O'Ciosoig to effectively carry on where her old band left off.The two great transatlantic strands of narcoleptic pop having been dramatically united, 'Bavarian Fruit Bread' represents a towering piece of morphine-induced self-indulgence. Making no pretence at being contemporary, Sandoval has kept an uncharacteristic vice-like grip on the sleepy sound that earned her and O'Ciosoig their musical spurs. If almost every song here bears a dramatic resemblance to My Bloody Valentine's 'To Here Knows When', then it's clearly neither a surprise nor a particularly bad thing. They chug along in their happy little rut with customary accidental panache. 'Butterfly Mornings' benefits immensely from the presence of folk hero Bert Jansch, but the enigmatic 'Around My Smile', with its slightly incongruous "I've got it goin' on" refrain, might just have the edge. It's sexless beauty in excelsis, all told. The Corrs for hipsters, maybe, but sleepwalking your way through life rarely sounded a more viable option.

Woodpigeon - "Treasury Library Canada"
I found this today, got it from a friend... This is pretty much a terrific album. It sounds like a mix of Belle & Sebastian, Sufjan Stevens, and Shearwater at points, and... Well... How can that ever be a bad thing? No reviews, but take it from me, grab this. Grab this now.
