Five Things

Little Fictions
  • Guy Garvey can sing your dinner menu and make it sound stately and grand.  Elbow drops Little Fictions tomorrow and new single "Magnificent (She Says)" is, well, magnificent.  Guitarist Mark Potter says the album is "the sound of four people who love what they do, and each other."
  • Real Estate's lead single "Darling" hinges its chorus on a single adverb: impatiently.  But the track from forthcoming fourth album In Mind is anything but irritating, as the band's interlocking guitar grooves infiltrate like a warm breeze through a covered porch.
  • Ryan Adams released another song from Prisoner.  It's the best one yet.  Check out "Doomsday."
  • So apparently John Mayer is releasing four songs a month until the entirety of The Search for Everything is released.  I've really enjoyed the laid-back and fluid guitar pop on "Moving On and Getting Over" and "Love on the Weekend."
  • Fionn Regan shared the new video for "The Meetings of the Waters," starring fellow Irishman Cillian Murphy.
