Snowblink
Snowblink is an indie folk band that originated in Toronto, Canada as a four-piece group. After relocating to California, they down-sized to a duo, Daniela Gesundheit and Dan Goldman. The songs on their recent album, Long Live, released in March of 2011, are very wholesome and earthy. A couple of the following videos were recorded outdoors among nature. Daniela even adorns her guitar with a set of antlers. This is definitely one of my favorite recent discoveries! I can't stop listening to Rut & Nuzzle, and when I'm not listening to it...it seems to be permanently fixed in my head.

down the rate of evaporation.
Bloodgroup
Bloodgroup
Yet another brilliant group of musicians from Iceland! Bloodgroup's 2009 release, Dry Land, received rave reviews and is considered one of Iceland's most successful albums ever. They have put their own stamp on electronic music. I'm not sure if they have been in the studio, however they should be due for their third album soon, and I'm certain to be watching for it!
