So Zach Condon is releasing a double EP under two different monikers. March of the Zapotec will be credited to his usual band name Beirut. The other half will be credited to realpeople a name he apparently used pre-beirut. So anything this guy does is must hear and the double ep is released 2/17. For now check out the video for La Llorona from the March of Zapotec.

Never Had Nobody Like You
You may have recently heard M. Ward with Zooey Deschanel in the group She & Him, but he released a bunch of great albums before that. His voice is unmistakable as always on this new song off of his album called Hold Time. It is out Feburary 17 and the mp3 is via Pitchfork. Check it out below.

Whale Week's Favorite Album of 08 is
Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight
We all voted and it was a unanimous number one. Frightened Rabbit if you are unaware are an indie rock band from Scotland and one of the best things going in music if you ask me. Midnight Organ Fight is very much a breakup album. You have been warned. It is an extremely moving album in which every song is strong. The lyrics and melodies will get stuck in your head. It definitely connected with me and if you have not, I encourage you to give it a listen. It is highly recommended by the entire Whale Week staff. Happy new year and hopefully it is a big 09 here.
