Indie All-Stars
I’ve had a little over a month to fully listen to Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins’s Rabbit Fur Coat. I think Rilo Kiley fans will enjoy this album (I know there’s at least someone else that visits this site that enjoys RK)… More to the point, Jenny Lewis fans will enjoy this album. It’s got lots of Jenny’s voice, light instrumentation, and of course, the Watson Twins complementing throughout.
The cover of Traveling Wilburys [George Harrison super group, woo!] Handle With Care is amazing. See my previous post professing my love of covers. But this cover is especially amazing, even legendary. The contributors in Handle With Care read like the A-list of indie rock: Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), M. Ward, and Connor Oberst (Bright Eyes). You can easily play Six Four Degrees of Separation with all of the above names. Some tips: include Omaha, The Postal Service, and/or True Love.
Here are some tracks to whet your appetite. Let me know what you think. Then go buy the album.
