I dislike so much new music, but I am liking this very much!


I really like this album. Band of Heathens, Duende. Alt/pop country out of Austin. If you have musical listening roots in classic rock, 70s America , and the alt-country of Wilco, check this out.

I think they sound like a band writing individual songs. The sound quality is good for today’s pop music.

They have great hooks, audibly legible lyrics, and great tone.

Cheers!
I have tickets to go see Band of Heathens live on June 15th.
I'm looking forward to it!
Check out the album by Lumineers, called Ophelia !! This album is outstanding, and in the Alt. Country, Americana genre.
Also , have you listened to a band called Phosphorescent ? Check out their 2013 masterpiece called Muchacho. Those are two albums that I consider perfect! Enjoy!
Not Alt Country, but equally awesome is Mutual Benefit's album called Loves Crushing Diamond.
Here is a cut from Phosphorescent :

toddnkaya,

Thanks for the Mutual Benefit recommendation.  Here is the first sentence from allmusic.com review:

""Gentle" and "reassuring" aren't necessarily the most exciting compliments to give an album, but Mutual Benefit's Jordan Lee turns those virtues into a remarkably engaging full-length debut. "

Certainly a genre-bending offering.  Some music may inspire one  to jump up and dance, this seems to invite the listener to lie back and breathe deeply.  The second album, Skip a Sinking Stone, is a continuation of the same sound and is also very good.  Both of the albums are quite accessible.  Good stuff.
