After a rewarding 2007, the new year has already embraced us with several artists who demonstrated great potential and ability on their recent releases. As for this past month, whether it has been through reputably innovative artists (Xiu, Destroyer) or brand new acts who have yet to even be signed (The Delfields, Run Dan Run), the optimism surrounding music in 2008 has been enjoyably exposed thus far.

I really dug the vocals on Run Dan Run – Your Name Escapes Me, going to try and find some more of there material now. See Ya.
Cool compilation. I agree with Music Dazz on the Your Name Escapes me. Nice work!
Thanks for that compilation I love it.
Cheers!
Los Rebeldes is great. The rest of the Sugar Oaks’ album is well worth a listen or two.
