Frog Eyes, Aids Wolf, Iron Horse

Frog Eyes offer this discreet acoustic EP of covers from past albums. Carey Mercer tones it down without losing any of his intensity which makes it a nice contrast to their latest "Tears of the Valedictorian". Which rocks, don't get me wrong.

Aids Wolf's latest show in Montreal (and last for a while) was highly energetic. If you don't know them, they've been causing a ruckus for a bit now with their spastic, artsy noise-rock. For anyone who thought their studio recording didn't quite do them justice, this will surely redeem them.

Finally, Iron Horse gives us Modest Mouse covers done in bluegrass. Strange, novel and very well arranged, i doubt you'll be listening to this two weeks from now, but you'll be glad you heard it.
