They wield the glockenspiel, rather than playing it
But I haven’t heard nearly enough people talk about this band so I thought they should get another mention, somewhere. I love this song, Let’s Get Married.

The label’s name is Music Is My Girlfriend, which is hilarious and awesome.
The “band” which is just one guy has a new album out, Goodnight Stars, Goodnight Moon. You can buy it here or from your favorite twee distributor.

It’s just awesome. I also love how the girls wear sashes to all their shows.
It doesn’t look like they’ve left their native Chicago yet, but if they start to tour, it’ll be pretty great. Or maybe someone should start a chapter in NYC?
Their version of Fugazi’s Waiting Room:

I’m also including this lounge-y one from the album too, ’cause I liked it.

It’s got a great guitar hook that I’m still trying to figure out. Apparently it’s the catchiest song on their album, according to Three Imaginary Girls.

It might not be available anymore. I just checked darla.com and they didn’t have it. 
He’s come out with albums afterwards, but the line up seems to be constantly changing and the band’s sound has moved to a more screaming folky sound.
He also seems to go as Bad Weather California.
The Love Letter Band is currently signed to Happy Happy Birthday To Me and their new album can be bought there and at darla.com. The song This World Is Not My Home is from that.

I’ve been hearing this song a lot on KEXP and found this video with the song.
Very nice, especially if you’re into alt-country. I really like the background vocals. They remind me of that lonely sound from the Modest Mouse cover of Sleepwalking, which also has female backup vocals on the chorus. Anyways.
Pufferfish has more songs available at their myspace page. I recommend listening to Rest Stop, where they sound like Van Morrison.

I just saw this video from My Teenage Stride on youtube. Pretty funny. And a great song, of course.
Am I the only one who thinks he sings like Brian Eno on Here Come The Warm Jets?

But this new album which came out last fall, Hello, Avalanche, is much more accessible. I love it.
I first heard their song Truck, which I think sounds like running. I daydreamed about making a video for it, all fast motion POV of a team race in the park.
This video I found on youtube comes pretty close to what I was thinking with its frantic motion and sped up footage:
I’m including the last track of the album, Queen, here because I can listen to it so many times in a row and it still moves me. It’s much slower than Truck. It’s almost introspective.
Hello, Avalanche was put out by Peek-a-Boo Records and can be bought here.

You can purchase their albums from Graveface Records.
This is one of my favorite songs. I’ve put it on tons of mixes.
