Mates of State
Austin-based indie favorites Mates of State released a new album last week; it didn’t take them long to get back in the studio after having their second child! (Kori was extremely pregnant when I saw them at Fun Fun Fun Fest last fall.) I’m not head over in love with this album yet, like I am with their previous release, but then it took me several months to get into them at all. They grow on you, I promise. [note: I wrote the next to last sentence after hearing the album once the day after release; now I have finally gotten it on my iPod and listened to it a few more times, and I am now head over in love with it. It's a bit mellower than Bring It Back, but there's nothing wrong with that, and if you're a fan, you'll love it.]

Snow Patrol
I could’ve sworn I’ve shared Snow Patrol stuff before, on account of them being one of my favorite bands ever and having gone to see them in Austin. But I searched through the archives (in preparation for the Glasgow Band Music Monday post I have planned for the not-too-distant future), and apparently I haven’t. Maybe I just included them in one of the iterations of the sidebar music player.
