Cale's Recommendations

Plants and Animals: Park Avenue

Buy from Amazon | Insound

I just started jamming to this CD this past week, and I'm loving every single minute of it! This CD manages to take the best features of indie rock and blend it flawlessly with classic psychadelic rock. The end result is something that, to me, sounds truly unique and endearing. With clever lyrics and amazing performances from everyone in the band, this CD won't disappoint.

Erin's Recommendations

Various Artists: Garden State, Music From the Motion Picture

Buy from Amazon | Insound

I know that there are those out there who say, “It’s a soundtrack, so it won’t be that good”, but this is not just a soundtrack… It is an eclectic mix of songs that are pieced together so nicely, to create a true work of art. This is mostly an indie soundtrack, though Simon and Garfunkel make an appearance. You can definitely expect a retro review of this one…
