Love this new video from The New Pornographers from their upcoming new album.
How cool is Dan Bejar? 

I'm back! Still consuming music. Just not finding the time to do the writing. But in the early parts of July I thought I would share my favourite albums released so far this year. It was a hard choice to figure number one. Both the albums from Woods and Sharon Van Etten are fantastic, but in the end I settled for the brooding, complex amazing beast that is "Lost in The Dream". I have posted a recent performance to reinforce this opinion.
