Fleet Foxes, and Other New Releases

Today we'll look at three new music releases. Our guide, Justin Gage, lives in Los Angeles and runs an indie music blog called An Aquarium Drunkard. He also hosts the weekly, two-hour, Aquarium Drunkard Show that airs Fridays on SIRIUS satellite radio's Left of Center (channel 26).

The Sun Giant EP by Fleet Foxes

A band from Seattle that describes its sound as "baroque harmonic pop jams," combining late-60s pop and southern rock.





Trouble in Dreams by Destroyer

Fronted by Dan Bejar of the Vancouver supergroup The New Pornographers, Destroyer's lyrics are clearly influenced by bands like Pavement and Guided By Voices.





Volume One by She & Him

A collaboration between singer M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel, with a hint of Phil Spector's trademark girl-group sound.
