Okay first, here's Epic45 - In All the Empty Houses
I rather enjoyed this, it's ambient, has some quiet rock influences in it, but mostly what I like about it was it had this haunting quality about it. The band really did a good job at giving this album that touch. It's not ina frightening way, it's more about remembering past regrets. Kinda sad sounding but the point is that it worked well and gave the album a great atmosphere. There isn't much to say about how it stands out though, some of the lyrics could be particularly good though. It's an album meant to make you remember and self reflect, I think anyway.
Gotye - Making Mirrors
Apparently that single I have above is getting pretty huge. There's been a lot of talk about this guy lately, but this is the first I've listened to a whole album. Pretty great album really. Indie sounding without getting pretentious, (except maybe that video though, what the hell) Though it does well and I can certainly see the appeal. A great mixture of sounds, I enjoy his voice, and as a whole the album was unique enough to keep me interested to see where it would go. The layers within that song are everywhere so there's always something to go back to and find something new to follow. Overall I rather enjoyed it, though I don't think any of the songs had as much of a single feel except for Someone That I used to Know. But more importantly, here is that song again, covered by another band using only one guitar.
I know that this has gotten a ton of views so you may have already seen it, but if not... watch it. That is just incredible. Though I wish the one guy didn't stare at me like that....
