Tame Impala are a really awesome band from Perth, Western Australia. They're new album is called "Innerspeaker" and it sounds like Jefferson Airplane and The Beatles (at their most psychadelic) had a baby together.

Dosh is another artist that's been on heavy rotation recently. His full name is Martin Luther King Chavez Dosh (which is awesome) and his music is mostly instrumental, very chill, very organic and yet electronic, and you can tell this guy loves his percussion. Souns to me like a little less choppy, little more melodic version of the best Don Caballero songs, and that ain't bad. He's good friends with Andrew Bird and Bird does a lot of instrumentation on his fifth album called "Tommy" which is out now and you should check it out.

Sleigh Bells are an amazing band I've liked for a while now, but up until recently it was just by way of a few select mp3s. Now they have an album called "Treats" and it's phenomenal. I don't know what to say about it that hasn't already been said more eloquently by others but this music is loud, in your face, fun, catchy, and great for parties. Its just perfect. You should really cop this.
Sleigh Bells - Tell 'Em
The rest of the music I've been listening to heavily recently probably doesn't need much introduction. Everyone is talking about them, but rightfully so. Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma is just unbelievably good. LCD Soundsystems "This is Happening" really made me like LCD Soundsystem (I never really got the appeal before). The National's "High Violet" is fantastic and I can't wait to see them or LCD at bonnaroo! Also the new Broken Social Scene album really turned my opinion of them from mediocre to excellent. The Tallest Man on earth is amazing and if you haven't heard both albums then you absolutely should. Go right now, and do that.
