The Story of the Bee Gees (Book)

Bob Stanley
Compelling tale of the very odd Gibb brothers and their music. Though I had a mild interest in the group before I read it, the book converted me into a superfan. Stanley, a member of the great British band Saint Etienne, is an engaging and witty writer. Read more

Hey Panda (LP)

The High Llamas
Long-running group continues to add nuance to their brand of Brian Wilson-style pastoral pop. This album features some modern production elements like auto-tuned vocals and sub-bass atop their default sound. Not as immediate as their other work, but this one really grew on me. Read more

Coast 2 Coast (LP)

Pearl & the Oysters
Catchy and warm melodic goodness from French ex-pats living in L.A. Though a bit more groove-orientated, their sound is not dissimilar to Stereolab's best work (and former 'Lab singer Laetitia Sadier even makes an appearance). Read more
