Bouncing Souls - The Freaks, The Nerds and The Romantics
Now, you might think we’ve got a monopoly on great new music coming out of Israel, but that just isn’t the case. For example, Israeli band Buffalos is an act I only recently discovered. The group’s rusty Americana is somewhat complicated by the clunky vocals, which probably sound that way because they’re sung in English. Still, the apprehension with which the vocalists croon only serves to add to the overall feeling of being far from your home, perhaps hitchhiking across the American Southwest with only a guitar and a backpack. I’ve included the rough and ready “23 Buildings” above to give you a sense of what I’m saying–enjoy!

Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are excited for the new releases dropping this week; Clay Aiken, Leonard Cohen, Diana Krall, Keith Urban and much more unenjoyable bellowing. What’s really good is the insane amount of releases and pre-orders coming from JDub Records, the very blog you are reading right now. See below for some must have records this month.
