Take A Listen Tuesday - 2/2/2010

We're going to do a little site and blog hopping today in order to see what's being listened to in the vast world of indie music.

The Gorilla vs. Bear blog thinks we should give a listen to the new Taken by Trees track, "Anna". Taken by Trees is is actually Victoria Bergsman from Stockholm, Sweden. I'd describe the sound as ethereal pop. It's generally airy and light, without being syrupy and her voice is beautiful.

Stereogum, one of the premiere indie music blogs of the past several years is offering up listens to Peter Gabriels' all orchestral indie rock covers LP, Scratch My Back. Stereogum is offering a free download of Gabriel's cover of Flume by Bon Iver. Click here to find the download.

Greyday Records' Song of the Week blog is a little out of date, but I haven't directed you there in 2010, so figure this one's safe. Take a listen to "Fishsticks" by the Heligoats.

That's all we've got time for this Tuesday. I hope you'll check back next Tuesday for another installment.
