Sasquatch On Spotify
Do you find it a little hard to plan out your Sasquatch Festival schedule and decide which stages you need to be at? We’re making that process a little easier on you with the Spotify playlists below.

Best Music of 2012: Yellow Ostrich
Though technically released on a limited basis in 2010, Brooklyn loop engineers Yellow Ostrich’s debut album The Mistress made nearly every list of top albums from 2011 (including mine). Now, just a year later, one of the most creative outfits making music today, are back with their sophomore album Strange Land.

Australian Singer Gotye Returns With “Making Mirrors”
Over the last couple of months I’ve clued BENT readers in on the amazingly creative sounds of the art group NewVillager, the rebirth of former Roma Di Luna singer Channy Casselle as Polica, and now I’ve got some great music from you from the land down under. Gotye’s third studio album, Making Mirrors came out this past August and features tracks saturated in a variety of influences.
Stream The New Wilco Album!
It’s been a long time coming, but Wilco’s new studio album release is just around the corner. If you can’t wait the week and a day before it finally becomes available, “The Whole Love” is now up for streaming on NPR’s First Listen site! The 12 song, nearly one hour long album, is possibly the band’s most cohesive effort to date, but you can be the judge of that! Before moving on to listen to the record, take a look at the music video for the the album’s sixth track “Born Alone”.
Melting Icebergs
Icebergs make for great photos. We landed in Newfoundland and found out they have icebergs swimming in the sea on the north shore in September.
