Other Lives

One album I forgot to mention the other day in the comments section was Other Lives' Tamer Animals. It really is a fantastic album from start to finish, it grabs you in their sound early on and never really lets you go until it's over. Even when it's over you're hoping that there is some hidden track two or three minutes later just to give you more. So obviously a few re-listens are due right after you finish the album.

Their similar artists map reads like a who's a who of the best indie artists in the scene today. While comparing artists and bands are always fun, Other Lives truly bring their own sound. Some tribal drumming and the use of the rim of the drums give your fingers something to tap with while really forcing you to get into the music. Then there are strings, horns, insanely perfect harmonies and the list of musical positives just goes on and on. So below are a couple tracks off of Tamer Animals just to give a small sample of its greatness.
