impossibly cool: Catbird Records


The Catbirdseat was one of the first music blogs I read, and remains one of my very favorite. He doesn't post every day, and when he does there are only a couple songs, so his recommendations are strong by default.

Now Catbird Records has started, four releases strong, and I'm addicted. From Pet Politics' thick, wonderfully retro melodies to Get Him Eat Him's infectious advanced pop, Catbird is on to something.

From Pet Politics' In My Head EP (buy):

Pet Politics - The Ghost Mary And Her Friends

From Get Him Eat Him's Do As I Tell You EP (buy):

Get Him Eat Him - Exposure

In fantastically unrelated news, Eamon Hamilton has left his post as British Sea Power keyboardist to concentrate on his band, Brakes. This isn't so sad, as Brakes seem to be an awesome band, and things remain amicable between the band and the departer.

From Give Blood (buy):

Brakes - Heard About Your Band

Enjoy!
