* Les Savy Fav – Let’s stay Friends (Frenchkiss) : So I submitted to indie hypster art rock shit with the Brooklyn indierockers Les Savy Fav. Their uptempo indie stomp is catchy as well, filling in the shoes of last years Bloc Party for me.
* Pjusk – Sart (12K): Barren drony soundscapes from Norway by the duo of Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik and Rune Sagevik.

Another milestone show, #30! Feels like we’ve been doing Undomondo forever, when it’s barely 30 (it’s already 35 btw, you know I’m slow to keep up with it online). Starts of folky with acts like Hala Strana & Golden Arm Trio, Early Songs, Luke Temple, Jens Lekman, amazing songs!

The first 4 months have gone by and indeed 2007 has been lucrative for music. As the collective memory is so low these days and there’s so much production and hype, I want to emphasize the better stuff once more. Here’s a short recollection of what I’ve been listening to these past months.
