Devotchka - How it ends

Just jack - Writer's block

Ok, we already talked about the Birmingham-based band Just Jack on the blog. And Ok, Writer's block was on their album Overtones, released over a year and a half ago.
But hey, i heard the song again in a bar in Paris a few weeks ago, and my friend, that's a bloody good track.

Fleet Foxes, White Winter Hymnal

I totally fell in love with Fleet Foxes. I had the chance to see their performance as support band of MGMT in Paris last November.

They are a 5-member band from Seattle and their music reminds us of folk from the 60s. They are incredible on-stage performers and always make the most of their vocal ability to create something between them and the audience. I have not been able to get their LP Fleet Foxes out of my mind since then.
