    I've been listening to some great music this week. 

    Owen Pallett (formerly of Final Fantasy) is an amazing artist. Think of Andrew Byrd & Bright Eyes blending with TV on the Radio. A virtuoso performer who makes use of violins, piano, and synthesizers. His most recent album Heartland is something you'll find yourself humming days later.

    Beach House has been given the very appropriate label of "dream pop", ghost like, haunting melodies that wander and meander through your mind. Think of the slow songs on Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest. Their recent album Teen Dream is perfect for an afternoon sitting in your room. Close the blinds, and lay back in the semi-darkness of the eve and just let yourself drift off listening to the slow croons. Will definitely bring a smile to your face.
