Stratton's 2007 debut album, What the Night Said, was written and recorded while he was a teenager. Even popular indie artist Sufjan Stevens contributed to the record. Stratton just released his new album, No Wonder, on November 3rd, via the indie label Stunning Models on Display. We are excited to share with you songs from the LP, which we strongly encourage purchasing, not just because it's magnificent, almost magically splendid, from start to finish, but also to help encourage this prodigy to continue crafting his warm, heart-felt compositions. In fact, NPR called Stratton's music "disarmingly proficient"; PopMatters declared No Wonder "pretty damn close to a straight-up masterpiece" and the highly respected All Music dubbed the album, "stirring and hyper-personal yet universally beautiful." Stratton was born in California and grew up in New Jersey where he began composing songs on piano at three years old. Fans of Nick Drake and Mark Kozelek will likely hear why comparisons of Stratton's music have been made to these prolific songwriters. In fact, Stratton's favorite album of all-time, he said, is Drake's classic Pink Moon. If you enjoy Stratton's breathtakingly beautiful, and deeply personal, music, please vote for him as Deli Magazine's Artist of the Month. Last month, Stratton performed a set at New York's CMJ supported by the blog Pop Tarts Suck Toasted. In addition, he has previously toured with Sam Moss and These United States. Stratton one of the most gifted musical geniuses of our time, and we hope to hear much more from him in the months and years to come. "Your California Sky" - Will Stratton from No Wonder (2009) "Who Will" - Will Stratton from No Wonder (2009) Earlier this year, Stratton self-released a free EP, Vile Bodies; even more reason why we'll be following Stratton's career for a long time to come. "Vile Bodies" - Will Stratton from Vile Bodies EP (2009) "Lying in the Dark" - Will Stratton from Vile Bodies EP (2009) Note: After downloading and unzipping the free MediaFire EP, make sure to add .mp3 extension to the song titles so you can listen to them in your preferred music player. Finally, here are just a couple of the amazing tracks off Stratton's stunning 2007 debut LP, plus a cover from his mentor, Nick Drake. Special thanks to catbirdseat.org and slowcoustic.com for the following tracks.

At first exsunmoonrain@gmail.com (Googe) Brooklyn musician Brad Oberhofer (photo via newdust.com) Continuing on with IRC's post-CMJ coverage, it is puzzling as much as it is refreshing that musician Brad Oberhofer isn't more well known within the arguably saturated indie rock genre. At first examination of the huge, rhapsodic sound of his work, one would never guess Oberhofer records as a solo artist. A drummer and vocalist primarily, Oberhofer crafts a big sound all on his own, blending various instruments and electronic samples to pump out energy charged, erratically arranged, and somewhat danceable rhythms and melodies that feed off of experimental and traditional influences, making his music both accessible, and unclassifiable, at the same time. In 2006, Oberhofer left his native Tacoma, Washington - where he studied classical music - and moved to Brooklyn. Since that time, he has been recording at home, and playing small venues in and around the New York City metro area. He was a featured artist at The Den last month during NYC's CMJ. Oberhofer's music runs the gamut of indie sub-genres, from noise pop to dance punk, and even "freak folk." Take the song "Dead Girls Can Dance"; now, imagine Noah Lennox (Panda Bear) crashing into Wavves. And, "I Could Go," with its whistling, oohs and ahhs, vocal layering, smashing cymbals, and somehow catchy hooks, is, all at once, mysterious, engaging and strange. The track "Away From You" is another example of Oberhofer's memorable, eccentric sound. If you're walking around the East Side one of these days, and you hear a distinctive howling, whistling and clashing of sounds, it might just be Oberhofer playing at a small bar, or even, a grocery store. As we've seen with so many one-man bands featured on IRC, Oberhofer writes and records his music on his own, plays all of the instruments, and even distributes and promotes his work. When he performs live, he is often accompanied by Clyde Kurtis on drums and Andrew Heaton on guitar and keys. "I view recorded music and live music as two completely separate art forms," Oberhofer told IRC, "so I try to make sure each have their own distinct advantages." His musical roots, he says, trace back to "competitive freestyle rapping in the 5th grade," his classical music training, and an appreciation for bands like The Unicorns, Hella, Clues and Okay. In describing the Brooklyn 'indie scene,' Oberhofer said: "I think there are an insane amount of ridiculous bands that all have super good ideas to the point where I find myself questioning whether or not it is possible to innovate. They deserve to explode as they please. And by explode, I mean 'blow up'." The songs included here are off of his self-titled, self-released EP, some of which were recently remastered.

So far, the album is mostly a departure from The Strokes guitar heavy sound, which lets Casablancas explore a more eclectic territory, which he does very nicely, raising his status as a talented singer, songwriter and musician. Other new releases today include the delicious pop of The Swimmers sophomore LP, as well as killer fresh tracks from Yeasayer, Laarks and Holopaw. Don't miss four additional impressive tracks from a new electro pop compilation out today.

Oh, Wilderness (2009) We're excited to bring you four tracks from a brand new 24-track compilation release from Ghostly International's affiliate label, Moongadget, titled Moongadget: Nocturnal Suites. Among the two dozen songs on the compilation are terrific tunes from band-to-watch New Villager, the swirling hip-pop of artist Mux Mool, the minimalistic groove and banjo picking of Shigeto, and the dreamy electro-pop hooks and beats of Worst Friends. The label describes the compilation as a "lovingly assembled mixtape, compiling brief, catchy, electronic-minded pop songs built for obsessive repeat listening." Word! Plus, it's a great deal - only $12 for the double CD, or download all 24 MP3s for $10 at Ghostly's website.

So it was no surprise to some when Seattle's legendary Sub Pop Records - home of popular indie artists like Band of Horses, The Shins, Iron and Wine, Grand Archives and Blitzen Trapper - signed Avi Buffalo to a record deal last month. With Isenberg at the helm, Avi Buffalo, consisting of Sheridan Riley (drums), Arin Fazio (bass) and Rebecca Coleman (keyboards and vocals), are now under the wings of one of the finest indie record labels in the business. Tonight, Nov. 2nd, Avi Buffalo will open for the wildly popular Vampire Weekend in a sold out show at the Art Theatre in Long Beach - clearly an indication of Avi's rising star status within the indie music scene. Things started to roll for the band after a couple of well received live performances in 2007 and 2008 led to a meeting with musician and producer Aaron Embry. Before long, Embry - who has worked with musicians like Elliott Smith, Daniel Lanois and Emmylou Harris - was recording Avi Buffalo's material. The result of this collaboration is evident on the band's label debut 7", due out next month via Sub Pop. The A-side track, "What's In It For?", is a jangly guitar driven song with a southern rock twang, and rounded out with well crafted, melodic hooks, Isenberg's high pitched and quirky vocals (think Wayne Coyne meets Daniel Johnston), and uplifting back-up choruses. "What's In It For?" - Avi Buffalo from What's in It For? 7" (2009) Isenberg begin recording home demos in 2006 when he was just a sophomore in high school (most of the band members recently graduated from high school; Riley is still a senior), and as recently as this past spring, he was mixing the demos using Macbook Pro Tools and SM58/57. In August, the band independently released five songs via their Bandcamp page, allowing fans to decide how much they would pay for each track. One of those tracks, "We Can't Try This Again," is a lazy, lo-fi acoustic strummer, featuring the following lyrics: no one ever said we can't try this again/brought it so high, brought me so high/spent too much time in there/don't know just what you saw. The translation is, perhaps, typical teenage disillusionment with the highs and lows of young love. Near the end of the song, a brief, but edgy, guitar riff shatters the dreamy soundscape, and closes with a chorus of whistling. "We Can't Try This Again" - Avi Buffalo If you like what you hear, you can purchase ($1 minimum) more tracks from the band, including "Distaste and Interest", Avi Buffalo's first song - written and recorded by Isenberg (when his moniker was Avi Buffalo before it became the band name) when he was only in the 10th grade. It's possible that some of these songs will make it on the track listing for the band's debut full-length album, planned for release in spring of 2010. Avi Buffalo lists musical influences such as Simon and Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, Wilco, Panda Bear and Grizzly Bear. Isenberg recently told BeatCrave: "As much as I’d love to say we’re not pop, we’ve got some poppy stuff going on. I like the way hooks sound, and I like the idea of infiltrating minds with catchy stuff." We are looking forward to seeing Avi Buffalo open for the Grand Archives on Nov. 12th in Santa Cruz, Calif. In our review of the show, we will published more tracks from Avi Buffalo, including a couple of hard-to-find songs. In the meantime, listen to more songs on the band's MySpace page. Check out a HD quality video of Isenberg discussing his music, with studio out-takes, plus a video of the 7" B-side track, "Jessica" and a live recording of the song "Remember Last Time".

Unlike the other mixes, Vol. 13 is not limited to 13 songs because there are just too many left over to share with all of you. What better way to start off the last mix than with the newest track from Radiohead, "These Are My Twisted Words." Following Radiohead is a track from Of Montreal (photo, above), plus a song from the now-defunct indie supergroup called the North American Halloween Prevention Initiative. The song, "Do They Know It's Halloween?" was co-written by Islands, and ex-Unicorns, member Nicholas Diamonds along with an ensemble that included members of bands like Arcade Fire, Rilo Kiley, Wolf Parade, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beck, Sonic Youth, Les Savy Fav, Buck 65 and Peaches.

The song's bopping sound cleverly disguises its otherwise ghoulishly odd lyrics that suggest cannibalism of the author himself, who strangely seems to find solace in his own demise: Step one/rub me down with grease/step two/cook me in the fire/Step three/cut me into pieces/eat me when I’m done.

We're not sure sunmoonrain@gmail.com (Googe)In 1981, The Kinks released a hit LP titled Give The People What They Want. One of the best ways to know what the people want is to look at the numbers. The web stats for IRC show a lot of interest among visitors for 2008 indie rock music. We're not sure why this is, but here's a playlist of excellent 2008 songs most of you have probably never heard, and all of which were sent to us In Dee Mail. We hope you find a few here that you really dig, and check out more about the artists and bands who recorded them. The Dublin, Ireland mellow experimental pop band The Dying Seconds, released their self-titled debut LP last year. Their music is a flourishing and dreamy fusion of electronic grooves blended together with trumpet, violin, clarinet, Tunisian bagpipes, synthesizers and harmonophones at nearly every turn, making it one of the best indie releases of 2008. And others agree. The blog MP3Hugger wrote, "As albums go [The Dying Seconds] is up there with the best of 2008." Croatian indie band The Orange Strips' 2008 album, Follow LP, is full of lush melodies, accordions, guitars and overall memorable folk rock. Right away, their Gin Blossoms meets The Clientele sound makes the LP one of the most under appreciated international indie rock releases of 2008. The indie rock band Technicolor Wolves are definitely on the radar taking the prized Best New Band of the Coachella Valley in 2008, and recently named the Best Band-Overall in 2009 by the Palm Springs newspaper, The Desert Sun. The first time that we heard "I Was Only Sleeping" from Hotel St. George it reminded us of The Walkmen. But finding out quickly that it was not The Walkmen made the mystery even more intriguing. Wish there was more time to write about all of these terrific songs and bands, but the music speaks for itself. Enjoy.

View, California, definitely had a more energetic, youth-oriented line-up than Neil Young's usual selections of classic rock and singer and sosunmoonrain@gmail.com (Googe) This year's 23rd annual The Bridge School Benefit concert fund-raiser held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mt. View, California, definitely had a more energetic, youth-oriented line-up than Neil Young's usual selections of classic rock and singer and songwriter that he relied on in years past. Saturday's seven-hour show included Wolfmother, Sheryl Crow, Chris Martin (Coldplay), No Doubt, Fleet Foxes, Monsters of Folk, Jimmy Buffett and Neil Young as the closer. Along with his wife, Pegi, Young has been organizing the benefit concert since 1986. The cause is a great one, and makes purchasing a ticket more meaningful than most music concerts and festivals I go to. Proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Bridge School for children with severe physical impairments. Following a set from ex-Bush member Gavin Rossdale (husband of Gwen Stefani), Wolfmother rocked out strummer-style with an all acoustic (three guitars), and one drummer, band, creating an incredibly big rock sound. No wonder why Aussie lead singer Andrew Stockdale is often compared to Robert Plant and his music like that of Led Zeppelin meets Black Sabbath. The band ripped into their classic "Woman" from their 2006 self-titled debut and treated the crowd to the title track, "Cosmic Egg," from their new album, out today on Interscope Records. "Cosmic Egg" - Wolfmother from Cosmic Egg (2009) Fleet Foxes were in their usual top form, but unfortuntately during their set, one of the big speakers was tripping out; thankfully, the technicians fixed the problem in time for the crowd to enjoy songs like "White Winter Hymnal" and "Mykonos." The recently formed super group Monsters of Folk, consisting of indie heroes like Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Jim James (My Morning Jacket), M. Ward (Matt &amp; Him) and Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes), played a riveting set of Americana rock punctured by fericious piano and guitar jams of songs off their debut album. When Sheryl Crow took the stage, the crowd began to get more lively. Crow played a number of predictable songs and then covered The Beatles "Hide Your Love Away." Chris Martin added an intimate twist to a number of Coldplay songs, relying only on a piano and a violinist to deliver alternative versions of "Lost," "Clocks" and "Yellow." Martin also performed a semi-sloppy cover of the 1950s classic "Blue Angel" to close out his set. By the time Jimmy Buffett got on stage to play for thousands of older margarita-drinking, grass-smoking fans, the place was bouncing. From all accounts, it was No Doubt, Chris Martin and Buffett that seemed to draw a huge slice of the crowd. Indie rock and folk still seems to escape the "mainstream"; but hey, that's OK, it makes it all the more special to those who love 'indie' and alternative music. By the time the legendary Neil Young came on to close out the concert marathon, he proved he can still make his classics like "Sugar Mountain" and "I Am a Child." Clearly, Young's influence on much of the music we love today is all over indie rock and folk music. The set up for Young's performance took an unusually long time, and as the clock ticked towards midnight, people started to pack up and head out. But that didn't stop the large majority of the crowd who stayed to have a good time right to the end. Unlike years past, there were no big collaborations on stage where members from bands in the lineup would normally join other bands and artists performing on stage. Not sure why that tradition of past Bridge School benefit concerts was largely missing, but it was a common observation among other concert reviewers.

Chapel Hill, North Carolina has been the home base for bands like Ben Folds Five, Archers of Loaf, Doleful Lions, Polvo, Southern Culture on the Skids, among others. But perhaps the best "newest" export from Chapel Hill, the band Roman Candle, has delivered an indie rock-alt country/folk masterpiece with the release of their third LP, Oh Tall Tree in the Ear. The LP is chock full of memorable songs, brilliant lyrics, magnificent musicianship and stellar vocal delivery. Following Roman Candle is a terrific new single "Day Glo" from Austin's progressive folk pop band Brazos. The band kicks off a dozen-plus city tour with spastic indie rock trio White Demin, and fellow Austinites, tomorrow night in Austin. The next song, "Suicide Blues," from the Omaha band Brimstone Howl, offers up refreshingly ballsy guitar rock delivered in a punk (think Ramones) meets blues (think Velvet Underground) style heavy with attitude and determination. In 2006, the band had a mini-hit with the single Blood on the Rocks, Bones in the River, which was recorded and mixed by Jay Reatard. The following year, the band released their second LP, Guts of Steel, produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach. Brimstone Howl's newest LP will drop next month. Plus, check out new music from Josh Rouse's new album that will drop in February 2010; a new demo from Say Hi; a cool hip hop track from Big Boi and guests; a remastered Nirvana classic; fresh grooves from Memory Tapes; a Sean Bones tune we missed earlier this year; and last, but not least, The Subjects return with the single "Winter Vacation" off their latest LP release.

But the band's sound has an underlying influence of the post punk movement in the UK during the 1980s, with an indie rock predominance that includes joyous guitars, flourishes of horns and string arrangements and subject matter that ranges from disillusionment and betrayal to loneliness and STDs. In case you haven't heard, the band was involved in a terrible accident on September 24 in which all of the members were hospitalized. The band was traveling to Cincinnati for their next gig to promote their excellent new album, And The Horse You Rode In On. The police reports say the band's 1999 Chevrolet van blew a tire, causing the van to roll over "multiple times in the grassy median." The most seriously injured, Mark Yoshizumi, SYGC's bassist, was airlifted to hospital with leg, internal, and major head trauma injuries, where he is still listed in serious condition. We send our sincerest thoughts, and wishes for a full and speedy recovery for the band. If you want to help, the band is accepting donations to help off-set their medical bills, buy new instruments and equipment, and other mounting costs (via PayPal to tsygc@bloodshotrecords.com.) There will also be a Halloween night benefit concert for the SYGC. Their new album, And The Horse You Rode In On, is brilliant! SYGC's MySpace page lists among their influences Ernest Hemmingway, The National Pop League, Jackson Pollock, "vegetarians, teenage punks and Daniel Johnston's honesty." "Tear Down the Opera House" - The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir from And The Horse You Rode In On (2009) "Stop!" - The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir from And The Horse You Rode In On (2009) Bonus (out of print): "Lamp Post" - The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir The next band in the Double Shots on the Rocks has been making a lot of buzz in 2009. They are LA's "tropical soul" band Fool's Gold, not to be confused with singer and songwriter Dan Folgenberg's back-up band of the same name from years ago. Fool's Gold's nucleus consists of Luke Top and Lewis Pesacov, and at other times is supplemented by musicians from We Are Scientists (an awesome band, by the way) and The Fall (legendary post-punk pioneers). Peasacov also plays in Foreign Born, one of our favorite "new" bands of 2009 thanks to their stunning LP Person to Person. The band considers among their main influences Afropop music. Fool's Gold debut, self-titled album dropped last month and has won critical acclaim from the mainstream press like The New York Times and music blogs, such as Pitchfork, and well, Indie Rock Cafe. Fool's Gold Luke Top hails from Israel and often sings in Hebrew on the band's exceptionally cheerful, infectious debut LP.

The track below, "Walkabout," is one of the albums highlights, with Animal Collective's Noah Lennox (aka, Panda Bear) pitching in with his famously echoy, dreamy vocal delivery and feel good electronic musical arrangements. The song is clearly one of the best indie duets of 2009. Next up is a catchy "new to us" indie pop band called Spring Tigers, who just so happen to be from Athens, Georgia, the birthplace of Bradford Cox. Today also marks the official release of Sufjan Stevens' BQE (nope, nothing to do with barbequing), which is basically an all orchestrated LP - and a good one at that. But there are still many of us who really hope he will pick back up on his '50 state' album concept; even a total of 10 would be an accomplishment. The idea came about in reaction to both critical and fan reaction to the albums Illinoise and Greetings From Michigan. (In the meantime, we started a playlist series that includes songs about states called the State of Music. More on that soon, so stay tuned). Today's other indie releases include new material from Sufjan Stevens, Spiral Stairs, Port O'Brien, Neon Indian, F**k Buttons, The Hush Now, Abdelkbir Marchane &amp; Ahmed Baqbou, Jon &amp; Roy, Hawnay Troof, The Parlour Steps, The Wheat Pool and others. Some of the albums in this mix were released last week. "Walkabout" (with Noah Lennox) - Atlas Sound from Logos (2009) "Just Suggesting" - Spring Tigers from s/t debut (2009) Double-shot: "New Improved Formula" - Spring Tigers from s/t debut (2009) "Movement VI—Isorhythmic Night Dance with Interchanges" - Sufjan Stevens from BQE (2009) "Maltese Terrier" - Spiral Stairs from The Real Feel (2009) "Sandiya" - Abdelkbir Marchane &amp; Ahmed Baqbou from Ouled Bambara: Portraits of Gnawa (2009) "My Will Is Good" - Port O'Brien from Threadbare (2009) "Deadbeat Summer" - Neon Indian from Psychic Chasms (2009) "And I" - Hawnay Troof from Daggers at the Moon (2009) "Hoping and Waiting" - The Hush Now from Constellations (2009) "Olympians" - F**k Buttons from Tarot Sport (2009) "Hold On" - Former Ghosts from Fleurs (2009) "Little Pieces" - The Parlour Steps from Hidden Names (2009) "This Is It" - The Wheat Pool from Hauntario (2009) "Self-Taught Learner" - Lissy Trulie from Self-Taught Learner (2009) "Another Noon" - Jon &amp; Roy from Another Noon (2009) "Come Out, Come Out" - I Was Totally Destroying It from Horror Vacui (2009) Putting the "in" in to Indie.

As everyone who has fond memories, and some scary ones too, of the words and illustrations that made the wild things an unforgettable tale, we are excited to see the much anticipated film by accomplished director Spike Jonze. The clip below shows Jonze and Sendak discussing the adaptation and also delves into why Sendak feels the film is a great compliment to his original work. You can also view a number of HD You Tube video clips from the movie itself and view some of the related links we thought you might appreciate. There is another vital aspect about the film that has received plenty of attention. The soundtrack. If you haven't already heard, the soundtrack for the film is the work of an impressive line-up of indie musicians, include Karen O herself, the lead singer for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the following artists: Bradford Cox (Deerhunter) Brian Chase and Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) Dean Fertita ( The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs) Aaron Hemphill (Liars) Greg Kurstin (The Bird and the Bee) Jack Lawrence (The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs) Oscar Michel (Gris Gris) Imaad Wasif (New Folk Implosion, Alaska) "All is Love" - Karen O &amp; The Kids from Where The Wild Things Are soundtrack (2009) "Igloo" - Karen O &amp; The Kids from Where The Wild Things Are soundtrack (2009) "Rumpus" - Karen O &amp; The Kids from Where The Wild Things Are soundtrack (2009) "Building All is Love" - Karen O &amp; The Kids from Where The Wild Things Are soundtrack (2009) "Hidaway" - Karen O &amp; The Kids from Where The Wild Things Are soundtrack (2009) Buy the album here.

The following is a great behind-the-scenes video with Sendak talking about Jonze's film adaptation: There's a lively debate about Sendak's comment in the Oct. 19 issue of Newsweek that parents concerned with the darkness of the movie "can go to hell." Geez... YouTube official clips from the movie: This is Our Family The Sun Will Die What's Your Story? Dirt Clod Fight Still Shots from the movie Here's an older video animation adaptation of Wild Things Are using artwork from the original book; and, here's another. What a Metromix review of the film.
