Band is from Portland, OR. Can't say I'm loving a lot of these other tracks though.  That being said, their album Mind Chaos is out now.

Baltimore-via-Brooklyn's answer to Passion Pit? Who cares, this Yeasayer track is the JAM!

  
(download)

Just joking with the question, but to be fair, if you like the former, you should dig the latter.  Didn't know these guys were originally from Baltimore.  You can hear it though.

Their new album Odd Blood is out in February.

Yeasayer - Ambling Alp.

Shouts to the homey Matt for this one.

Damn, Phoenix are pretty frickn' big. Hear 'em cover Bob Dylan.

This cover fits the acoustic medium much better than the band's orignal source material.

I don't understand why rap/rock collabos sound so terrible when this new Spoon track makes it seem entirely possible

Yeah, so no one is ACTUALLY rapping on this, but I hear Ghostface every time I listen to it.  Heard they listen to a lot of Prince.  Someone will rap over this, mark my words.

Listen to my initial standout track off of Vampire Weekend's new album, Contra

 

Giving Up The Gun by Vampire Weekend  
(download)

Really diggn' the baseline on this one. 

Haven't let the album really digest yet, but initial reactions would be its not as easily accesible as their first album.  This could be a good thing with repeated listens, but is sort of a shame since their main appeal for me was making poppy, accesible music with world sounds.
