Mocky – Birds of a Feather

So this track is a little more jazzy than what you usually that you find here, but I’m totally in love with it. One of my fabulous picks that I grabbed over at Amoeba, along with Passion Pit (fav album right now) and Matt and Kim. A native of Canada, Mocky boasts producer credits for the likes of Jaime Lidell as well as Feist (both of which are featured on his new album), so I’m sure you have heard his influence before. Dude has crazy talent, he plays drums, bass, rhodes, piano, guitar, percussion, bells, recorder, vocals, whistle, organ and toys and writes string arrangements. Be sure to check out his new album, Saskamodie.

Fanfarlo offer album for only $1

If your a fan of Beirut, you might want to check the debut album from Fanfarlo. While not quite as Baltic as Beirut, there are some of the same elements at work, such as the extensive use of the trumpet and ukulele. Regardless, the album is being sold for only $1 on their website until the 4th of July, so you better grab it now because after that, it won’t be available until September. After listening to it all weekend, I highly recommend it.
