Manchester Orchestra is an amazing band. I heard them for the first time the other night on Jimmy Kimmel. After checking out some of their YouTube stuff I fell in love. This is not easy listening; the lyrics are powerful and the music is inspired. For more info, check out the Manchester Orchestra Website.

The French Semester are an indie band comprised of 5-members from places as diverse as India, Mexico, Vietnam, and Europe. Although they come from different corners of the world, the bands music is very unified modern folk pop. Try to imagine Simon Joyner time-traveling to meet The Hollies and forming a band. They recently released an EP called Forces Afield. Before this, 2009 saw the release of the critically acclaimed album Good Friends Only I Could See, which contains my New Music Monday selection, Backwards Rolling.

Sea Wolf is a Seattle band that was formed in 2007 by singer/songwriter Alex Brown Church. The recently released White Water, White Bloom is available in stores and on Amazon. The band’s new single Wicked Blood (below) has cryptic lyrics sang over a dark but lush soundscape. For the sake of comparison, imagine a regal blend of Built To Spill and The Killers. To learn more about this band, browse to Sea Wolf ’s website.

MGMT is a psychedelic / electronic pop duo from Brooklin NY. Their first album Oracular Spectacular, was named the best album of 2008 by NME magazine. They have supported bands such as Radiohead and Beck during their 2008 tours and have also performed to much acclaim at festivals such as Bonnaroo and SXSW. They also made a notable appearance on Yo Gabba Gabba during the episode titled Art.
I chose MGMT as my New Music Monday pick, based on the video below. It is a perfect Halloween video featuring a frightened child and the band in costume. The lyrics are insightful and the song would be great no matter what time of year. I look forward to the album Congratulations, which is expected to be released in early 2010. Until then, we have Kids..enjoy!
