the open door, the mystic valley band, and ladyluck

Some music updates…

Death Cab’s new EP, The Open Door, is set to drop on March 31 (hasn’t leaked anywhere yet though…). Stereogum has been streaming a track every day this week…the best so far is a song called “My Mirror Speaks”. It is really good. And when I say really good, I mean REALLY good.

In other news (I felt kinda cool saying that…) Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band have announced that they are releasing a full-length in May called Outer South. I’m pretty stoked about this. They are streaming a track from it called “Slowly” on their website right now.

Lastly, do yourself a favor and go to Maria Taylor’s myspace RIGHT NOW and listen to “Time Lapse Lifeline” from her upcoming record Ladyluck.The album is being released on the 31st, but it leaked a few weeks ago. If you can’t get the leak, you can get three singles from it on iTunes or Amazon now. This album is truly amazing. She has always been one of my faves, but this record marks a shift from talented singer/songwriter to phenomenal solo artist. I know I’ll be blogging more about this album…
