Grizzly Bear frontman Ed Droste has already ranted and raved about it, so make sure you peep into the cloud-padded soundscapes of Norway before Teen Dream drops next year.

This mix is made for my good friend Ben, who just returned from a 2 year religious sabbatical in Argentina. I promised him I would put together a mix of all the great music he missed out on. The only rule is that any song had to be released between September 2007 – September 2009. The actual mix I’ve created for him is over 70 songs, so this is definitely a summarized version. Check it out, and as always, if you dig a song, support the artist!

I can’t believe I’ve never posted anything here about the fantastic BEACH HOUSE. The she/him dreampop duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally have signed on with Indie giant Sub-Pop Records. It gets better: The band also spent the month of July in a church-converted studio recording their next full-length which will be due out early 2010. If that’s too long of a wait, make sure to catch them on their current Fall Tour (some dates with GRIZZLY BEAR!)
