“Port of Morrow” by The Shins
Edwin Arnaudin – Staff Writer
Rating: 5 Stars
Absence apparently does make the heart grow fonder.
Five years after the stiff and snoozy Wincing the Night Away, a new-look Shins returns with Port of Morrow, quite possibly their best album to date. Energized from his Broken Bells collaboration with Danger Mouse, lead singer/mastermind James Mercer channels inspiration gleamed from those sessions into a fantastic set of tracks for his own group.

“The Only Place” by Best Coast
Kieran Anderson – Staff Writer
Rating: 4 1/2 stars
” I want babies to be created to this music. I want people to have their yoghurt while listening to this record. ” said Best Coast frontwoman Bethany Cosentino in a recent interview with The Guardian. Bethany just might get her wish. After listening to The Only Place, the band’s followup to the seminal indie hit Crazy For You, it seems that Bethany Cosentino has strayed away from songs about cats, weed, and boys and focused these new tracks on more personal subject matter. The Only Place is definitely full of mood and gloom yet it still maintains that sunny instrumentation that Best Coast is known for.

“Little Broken Hearts” by Norah Jones
Kieran Anderson – Staff Writer
Rating: 4 stars
Norah Jones has garnered a lot of attention from critics and fans alike since the release of her debut album Come Away with Me in 2002. It’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade since Ms. Jones released her first album, but it’s not hard to believe that she hasn’t lost her touch. Little Broken Hearts is proof of that and proof that she isn’t about to fade into obscurity anytime soon. Read more…

Before I found out about this show, I’d never listened to Grouplove before. I only learned about the show because I’m a pretty big fan of Company of Thieves, and I was excited to hear they’d be playing in Asheville.

Ben Sollee to perform at Asheville Music Hall
With LEAF sneaking up on us this weekend, it’d be easy to forget the rest of the Asheville scene. However, I know how I’ll be spending my Friday night, and I won’t be celebrating the blues.
Ben Sollee, the wonderfully talented cellist will be at Asheville Music Hall this Friday night. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door.
River Whyless, a unique and talented group of musicians, will open for Sollee on Friday.
If you haven’t already been swept away by the folky singer-songwriter, be sure to give him a listen before Friday night.
This is a show you don’t want to miss.
