Houlette, Bless Bless
Houlette is the sugar cube in your Stockholm Blend tea. Their French-pop, country-esque folk minimalism reminds you of bettertimes, of simpler times when salt came iodised and men rode horses.
Bless Bless (which translates to ‘farewell' in Icelandic) is the band's debut album, following the successes of their precursor releases.
The Besnard Lakes, Are The Roaring Night
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to tell you about music via a flashing computer screen.
I wish I could just play you something at a party. Or make you a mix CD. Some things are better if you find them out by accident, or from a friend. The Besnard Lakes have too much personality for the impersonality of a computer screen.

It's taken Guy Blackman a long time to convince Swedish pop goddess Frida Hyvönen (Hee-Vo-Nen) to come out here and play a show. Even though we have never heard of her, Frida is a household name in Sweden and has a 24 hour armed guard of drummers and soaring back-up vocalists. Her latest album Silence is Wild has been out on Chapter for a while and now, thanks to GB's phone manner and powers of persuasion, we will finally be able to hear it live.

Description:
Here at TwoThousand, we realise that impartial journalism is a bit twentieth century. That's why I can promote the launch of Cuthbert and the Night Walkers' new LP, Mr Pickwick's Camera, despite my friendship with the aforementioned Cuthbert (Hey Richie). Luckily, the band is genuinely good and thus my credibility remains.

$12 + BF here
Win:
One of 2 double passes. Just email win@twothousand.com.au with the subject 'Adrian is my Zoloft'
Description:
If you're depressed then you should try listening to Adrian Deutsch. It's cheaper than Zoloft and he's probably better looking than your shrink. You see, it's impossible not to be uplifted by Deutsch's 70s inspired orchestral pop - it makes me think of rainbows, falling in love and other distinctly non-depressing things.

Standing in for Martin and Sinatra are Washington and Canvas Kites, who balance deep vocals with popped backing.
