MUMFORD AND SONS/EELS

There are a few things that tend to get me really quick and Mumford & Sons possess quite a few in the highest of quality: breath taking harmonies, British accents, a stand up bass player and banjos. I came upon the new video for White Blank Page over at the superb Song By Toad and was excited to see they are finally releasing a full album. Sigh No More comes out on today and they will be doing a few shows in the States in the next few months.


Eels released an album, El Hombre, earlier this year that was front man Mark Oliver Everett's take on love in all its forms. True to their straightforward style the album is a very honest depiction of what, good and bad, love can bring. When this video was released I felt it was most appropriate. And, despite the fact that I am not the biggest Lakshmi fan I still feel compelled to share.

BEDWIN FALL '09

Bedwin & The Heartbreakers are one of our favorite brands of late. Their aesthetic speaks to the changing times and just works on so many levels. It’s classic without being boring, progressive without going to far. In their words, “paramount quality”. You get it. We’re into it. And yes this has been seen before, but let’s revisit it for emphasis. A favorite cold-weather style in an offbeat, yet strangely attractive hue. It also comes in beautiful black and grey versions, but let’s be honest – where else are going to find a yellow coat like this?
