My Favorite New Music

I don’t have the time or energy that I used to devote to finding new music, but I have found a few blogs to help me out. The interwebs (or at least the little corner I monitor) have been all afire lately over The Black Kids, so I wasn’t going to write about them. But then I actually listened, and I was blown away. It’s been a long time since I’ve had that sort of visceral reaction to music on the first listen, so long that I can’t remember when it was. Check out The Black Kids on MySpace—you can download their whole EP for free.

The other band that I’m in love with at the moment is White Rabbits. I would describe them as sounding kinda like Interpol. Apparently they have two drummers, which is pretty cool. I have some tracks, including live ones, I got somewhere, but Hype Machine is being a bitch right now so I can’t find the links. White Rabbits does have free MP3s on their MySpace, so you can check them out that way.
