Election Day in the U.S. coincides with the release of dozens and dozens of new 
albums, EPs and singles from bands and artists around the world. This week we recommend
newbies from indie favorites like** Bear Hands, 1900s, Violens, Matt & Kim, Horse
Feathers, The High Dials**, plus new releases from bands and artists you’ve probably
never heard of, like, Lelia Broussard, Bjorn Torske, Impossible Hair, Depth & Current,
Nightlands, Rubber, One Hundred Flowers, Glass Vaults, Amy Bezunartea, and The Autumn
Defense.

Perhaps the most exciting release of the week here in the cafe is **Ray Davies**‘
new LP, _See My Friends_, which features covers and collaboration of classic Kinks’
songs with **Bruce Springsteen**, **Jackson Browne**, **Mumford and Sons**, **Metallica**,**
Spoon, Paloma Faith, Alex Chilton, Bon Jovi **and many others. Ironically, though,
if you’re in the U.S. you can’t get the album until next March. WTF?! Anyways, in
the meantime, the only sampling from the album is a fairly rough audio (and video)
clip of Mumford and Sons performing “Days/This Time Tomorrow” with Davies on the
UK music show, _Later with Jools Holland_.

Also included in today’s mix is a single from **Brian Eno**, the father of electronic
indie rock. Eno’s new LP, _Small Craft on a Milk Sea_, is out now. The album features
stand0ut tracks – among many – like “2 Forms of Anger”, and “Emerald And Stone”.
We are displaying a different type of  track, “Bones Bomb.”

In addition, we just had to include the Eno song, “Strange Overtones,” with former**
Talking Heads**‘ frontman, **David Bryne**. The song is absolutely amazing, and 
incredibly upbeat, full of tropical influenced percussions, high-note mini guitar
riffs, Eno’s synths and Bryne’s solid gold vocals.

You may also be interested in a special compilation of one of the forerunners of
acoustic indie music, the late, great, **Elliott Smith**. This CD features a collection
of Smith’s best songs. Just had a random, but beautiful, thought: Imagine Ray Davies,
Brian Eno, David Bryne and Eilliott Smith recording an album together – wow.
