Obscure Sound: Best of March 2008

/

In terms of style, March seemed to have it all. Whether you find yourself personally enamored with neo-psychedelia (Jim Noir, Fujifabric), throwback folk (The Tallest Man On Earth, Sera Cahoone), epic post-rock (Our Sleepless Forest), or straightforwardly infectious indie-rock (Hilotrons, The Pharmacy), I feel content in guaranteeing that this compilation will introduce to you at least a handful of enjoyable new artists who view style as a variable in the quest for success. Your taste would have to be admirably broad to fully enjoy all 15 artists, but I would be shocked if at least one does not fit your fancy. Oh yeah, spring is here, which also means that baseball is back. My embarrassing brackets suffered at the defeats of Georgetown and Duke and the crushing feeling leaves me even more ready to move on to the sport that I love most. Go Yankees.
