Stalking the Library Kids

Last month, I got to witness a rare performance from the Library Kids in an art exhibit opening at the Blanc Gallery.

Jacob Lindo was the artist exhibiting that night.

 Library Kids Ifrit and Ridge talking about their first gig in a heavy metal bar. hahaha

They did an intimate acoustic set of their originals and covers too. It was the perfect venue for the Library Kids' music.

Looking forward to see more from these guys next year. Ang galing nila, i swear! :) Check out their songs below.

BAND CRUSH: Library Kids

Before you list down your top/best/favorite whatever of 2012, you might want to check out this duo whose brand of indie folk might put them on your number one spot. Barely a month old project, Library Kids' dreamy take on folk music can be compared to Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes or even Sigur Rós with pop sensibilities. I have here two of their demos, still hot off their recording sessions. Hit play and abuse the repeat button.




Oh! Did i tell you they're a Filipino band?

BAND CRUSH: Horrible Houses

Garage-folk in lo-fi. Delicious! I really dont mind the bad audio quality this act produces but Horrible Houses is definitely my new Swede delight.

He's currently released a two-track cassette under Zeon Light Kasset which includes this awesome track called Dead Surfer’s Valentine

and Terror Cassette

Bon Iver 4AD Session

This is probably one of the best Bon Iver performances I've seen.

I really cant wait for The Twilight Sad's new record! Buti I have readers who send me music via email! The band recorded an acoustic session featuring 8 tracks from their past albums and they are giving it away for free! James Graham's thick Scottish accent is so adorbz!

Below are three of the songs included in the EP. My favorite is I Became A Prostitute which you can also stream it here. If you're into indie-folk music, I think you'll love The Twilight Sad. Check them out!
