No breaking news here folks. Heartless Bastards latest release has been snowballing buzz since January of this year. With the release of The Mountain on February 3, 2009 the "Best Album of the Year" label was instantaneously thrown around by bloggers and music journalists alike. Despite being released around the time of the critically-acclaimed Merriweather Post Pavilion, The Mountain managed to penetrate the online community, even turning the ears of Animal Collective's most devout worshipers. For previous fans, this LP may appear more downtempo and polished than the hard-rocking ferocity of Stairs and Elevators. After a thorough listen (or ten), newcomers and die-hard fans alike can't help but fall head over heels. Trust me. Even for Heartless Bastards, there sure is a lot to love...Heartless Bastards - The Mountain [mp3]
Heartless Bastards - Hold Your Head High [mp3]
I was lucky enough to snag my copy from Amazon for only $1.99 on the daily deal. But search out this treasure at any price. It's well worth dropping some Hamiltons. And be sure to check Amazon mp3 everyday; Today's special is Passion Pit's first (and very fun) full-length release, Manners. There hasn't been a debut with this much hype since Vampire Weekend. Good thing? Bad Thing? You decide,
