I got turned on to SF-based Citay while at SXSW this year and have been listening to their album quite a bit. They’ve got this great ‘sunshine daydream’/Led Zepplin vibe that I love. This is the video to the track ‘Eye on the Dollar’.

The label Jagjaguwar knows how to pick artists and Bon Iver is no exception. Their release of the band’s debut album, “For Emma, Forever Ago,” made waves among critics and music lovers alike. And for good reason, the album is stunning. The band’s driving force – Justin Vernon – wrote this masterpiece holed up in a cabin in Wisconsin for three months during the winter. The sense of isolation, longing and loneliness are palpable in his songs, but in a beautiful way. The tempo and rhythm of the CD washes over you in a way that just makes you want to curl up and touch someone.
