recent music trippage

as sent to Jack this afternoon:

The band is called Polica, they're out of Minneapolis, tripped over them this afternoon. Apologies if this is old news - i'm usually slightly out of the loop.

on NPR, for their 98.3/sessions. First song immediate, next around 11:02.

youtubed:

Wandering star
Happy Be Fine (i like the part starting around 3:06, as well as her dress)
Lay Your Cards Out
Violent Games
 
Perhaps a sort of Florence+the Machine meets the Cranberries and the latest Bon Iver? i tripper over it via an interview with Bon Iver's Justin Vernon that appeared in Rolling Stone. Apparently he's a fan, and i don't know about influences, but there's a similar vibe in his Bon Iver album (the most recent). i also really liked Justin's interview with Spin that responds to the Grammys win. The last line is poignant, concerning his making music, "But at the end of the day, you either love to do it or your don't.  And I love it. I will always do it and I always want to do it."

Which i think is awesome, to feel that way about your work.
