Julia Holter, "Ekstasis"

I've been feeling this album, has a lot of interesting elements: classical, eastern modalties, ambient sound flourishes, pop. Definitely worth checking out.

Also, saw a band called Monogold at a rooftop party in Bushwick recently. They had a real buzz going, jaded hipsters suddenly stopped posing and grouped around to check it all out. They sound a little like Modest Mouse meets Wild Beasts, if you dig that. Their album "The Softest Glow" is on Spotify.
