Casey and Shawn in an ice palace
Really really really. If you don’t remember le grand White Hinterland, their last album “Phylactery Factory” came out in 2008 and featured a lot of boring piano-based songs sprinkled with a few gigantic gems (“Napoleon at Waterloo” and “Dreaming of the Plum Trees” are so overly gorgeous that it makes the whole album close to incredible). So histories aside, WH came out with a new album this month: “Kairos”. It’s shockingly better than the last album. Lead singer Casey’s voice is similar to Lykke Li’s, and the music is a crystalline ice palace of electronic beats and Casey singing like bird-meets-wind.

Since listening to the new album, I’ve visited their myspace and website and am hideously impressed with their interests and style. This stuff is great, please sample! AND if you really like it, call in tonight for Pocket Full of Seahorses and request it!
