		<title>Pree</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Washington, D.C. was once a hotbed of indie music. Fugazi, Dismemberment Plan, Shudder To Think, and Jawbox are from the District. Henry Rollins and Dave Grohl grew up here, and Dischord Records is still chugging away. But as yuppification marched through D.C. like Sherman through Atlanta, the city started to price itself out of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Evenings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is beautiful solace to be found in nature, organic development and a sense of what life in its purest form is truly like. In Japanese heritage, plants and shrubbery are manipulated into ornate designs in an effort to control something man has never been able to. When I listen to Evenings and the elusive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Short and sweet: We wrote about indie darling Ingrid Michaelson last week, but this cover is just too perfectly mopey-yet-catchy not to post today. Enjoy! » Love/Like/Hate it? Please rate it.]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m in You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We previously featured I’m in You in 2008 after the release of their EP, Lurid View (see previous post here for all the juicy goodness). The band is at it again with a new single, entitled “Sure.” It comes with the same lengthy dreaminess that we’ve come to expect, all the space and time being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ingrid Michaelson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been more surprised at a concert than when I saw Ingrid Michaelson for the first time last year. Songs like &#8220;The Way I Am&#8221; and &#8220;You and I&#8221; are so innocent and sweet that Michaelson&#8217;s onstage person, filled with dark humor and hilarious antics, is quite shocking. Her cover of Radiohead&#8217;s &#8220;Creep,&#8221; below, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scoundrels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[London is not known for blues-rock, a sound tailor-made for Nashville and Austin accents. But every now and again music requires an adoptive transplant of British sounds to American soil. This explains the Scoundrels, a London blues-rock infused quartet born in Notting Hill who refined their sound along the murky waters of Louisiana. Sensing their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cloud Nothings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Admittedly, Attack on Memory, the third major release by Cloud Nothings, the Cleveland outfit born from the lo-fi basement mixtapes of Dylan Baldi that straddles the fault line between garage punk and noise rock, putting the city on indie rock’s radar, caught me by surprise. I’d greedily devoured Turning On and Cloud Nothings over the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zoo Kid/King Krule</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whatever his stage name may be it is undeniably so that Archy Marshall is talented for his age. At only 17, he’s seeing gigs at festivals more often than American rated-R movies. But that is rather insignificant for a guy who hails from the old empire, a native of gloomy city blues we all know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morning Benders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m looking forward to a lot of things in 2012, but music-wise the new Morning Benders album has me the most excited. If you like the feel-good vibes that you get from the Kooks (review here) or Phoenix, you&#8217;ll feel right at home with the poppy harmonies of the Morning Benders. The band resides in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alabama Shakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 2011, the best actually was saved for last. I couldn&#8217;t tell you how many shows I saw last year, because despite experiencing epic aural moments and multiple all-weekend festivals, all was forgotten in the wake of Alabama Shakes. This time last year the Athens, AL quartet was working day jobs, and by this time [...]]]></description>
