A couple pleasant surprises from the roommate's promo stash.

1) Danielson Famile - A Prayer for Every Hour - This is their/his first record that has been recently re-released. A few years ago I listen one of their later efforts and couldn't get into it but this one is utterly innocent and charming. That's one damn squeaky voice.

2) Destroyer - This Night - Another band that I'd tried before but could get into. Kinda Bowie vs claustrophobic Neil Young vs GBV. Also another squeaky voice. The third song, Here Comes the Night, is great.
