		<description><![CDATA[Portland group Portugal. The Man (originally from Wasilla, Alaska) has been producing its own rather unique brand of psych rock since 2004, and in that time they've released seven LPs. Their newest, In The Mountain, In The Cloud, coming out on Tuesday, certainly carries on that tradition of uniqueness. Unfortunately, it doesn't manage to do so in a particularly organized manner, leaving In The Mountain, In The Cloud more of a mess than a well-constructed whole.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blues and folk are not, perhaps, the most novel musical combination, but it's certainly one that's time-tested - and one that William Elliott Whitmore throws every inch of his voice and his soul into. Whitmore's newest work, Field Songs, blends his bluesy vocals with a mix of banjo and guitar, played in a way that brings both folk and country sound to mind. Whitmore effortlessly layers the two parts, singing over what he plays with the sort of ease that only comes with true investment in one's work.]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://plumbiferous.com/?p=2475</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[As Bon Iver opens, Justin Vernon's otherworldly tones ring out into a cautious but richly melodic flow, promptly accompanied by the thudding march of "Perth"'s baseline. This is the sort of introduction that demonstrates Bon Iver's sound perfectly, in all of its grooves and facets, each nuance illuminated for just long enough to allow the listener to revel in its insight. "Minnesota, WI" follows, carefully outlined by Colin Stetson's saxophone. As Vernon sings "Settle past a patience where wishes and your will are spilling pictures / Water's running through in the valley where we grew to write this scripture," it's impossible not to see those very pictures in the layers of music that greet each moment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Bazan, frontman of ten-year (now dissolved) indie group Pedro the Lion and now solo artist, released his second solo album, Strange Negotiations, earlier this month. Strange Negotiations keeps the tone of Bazan's impressive 2009 solo debut, Curse Your Branches, with careful modifications and refinements that not only demonstrate Bazan's progress but make for a good album. At the same time, however, Strange Negotiations seems to have lost just a bit of the energy that was behind Curse Your Branches. It's still a step up from that album (if a slight one), and a great listen - but it's one that occasionally feels like it could be a bit more exciting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three years after the excellent The Stand Ins, Okkervil River, founded in Austin in 1998, has released I Am Very Far. Over the years, Okkervil River has proven itself quite capable of making excellent music - but most of their albums have had significant low points. The Stand Ins  was the first step towards more uniform excellence - and I Am Very Far is an even bigger step. The group's newest album is a colorful, carefully constructed journey through the musical experiences Okkervil River has often hinted at and occasionally delved into. I Am Very Far is almost certainly Okkervil River's best album, and it's no less of a success considered alone.]]></description>
