2012 Discoveries


What new artists or music are you discovering in 2012 ?
I am always searching for new leads here and elsewhere.
Harry Manx may not be new to you but he is to me and I recently bought his album 'In Good we Trust' -- a great musical discovery to start the year with!

Just got a copy of War Brides and it is also great. Thanks again for the Amelia Curran lead.
Richard, have ou heard Damien Jurado's new album called Maraqopa?
If you like Perfume Genius and Sparklehorse you will LOVE Maraqopa !
I am a big fan of Sparklehorse and love Perfumes' new album.
Have you had listened yet Mike?
Damien was superb live too.
Todd - Yes, I do have Maraqopa. I have to admit that I have not listened to it that much. The times I did play it I did not find it overly engaging, although I don't dislike it by any means. I prefer his quieter moments so that album was less appealing than some of his older recordings. Still, I do think he is incredibly talented in all areas and under-appreciated...but I would not put him in the same class as Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse), may he rest in peace.
