I love finding new music that speaks to me on a different level; meaning that it's not the same style music I've been playing or listening to in the recent past. About a year ago, I came across Marcus Eaton, whose most recent album is rhythmically reminiscent of old Dave Matthews or Duncan Sheik. Something I appreciate Marcus Eaton for is that he embraces technology and allows you to listen to his entire album just by visiting his site. Sure, it's not high fidelity, but it whets the appetite.
Anyway, I was looking over this weekend's Austin City Limits Music Festival lineup, and although I came across quite a few bands that are new to me, Gotan Project really jumped out. Maybe they remind me of my most recent trip to Paris, or maybe they're a little pop-tastic, but there's something very cool about their sound.
