NEW MUSIC: Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem

You'll notice I mentioned these guys on my twitter, but I first discovered them listening to NPR. (Yeah, I'm cool like that. What, you got a problem with NPR??)

This music is really worth a listen. They take sounds and melodies that sound old, and reinvigorate them with contemporary songwriting and performance. Unfortunately, it's hard to find their stuff readily available. Here's one track that I loved - it's off their album "Gambling Eden":



And for more music from Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem:

• The NPR article from where I originally heard them


• The band's store and website

Free samples of earcandy readily available there. Enjoy!
