Damn, this is BIG! The most anticipated album EVER for us here at Beard Makes Better Music has leaked and is available for listening right now. The album is set for official release on june 20:th.

These guys told us about it. We looked it up and found direct download links by searching the big search engine. Most files are packaged in .rar files, just a small hint.

The Leisure Society - Into the (not so) Murky Water

British eight man (and women) band The Leisure Society today released the follow up of their splendid lo-fi debut album "The Sleeper" (2009). The new album called "Into the Murky Water" is really folk and pop in one brew, some traditional irish folk music, a slice of african rythm (read: Vampire Weekend) blended with chopped up chewing gum pop. The name of the second song on the album probably says it all: Dust on the Dancefloor. I'm not sure I'm standing on my chair cheering here, but it's a much better follow up than most of what I've heard this spring. (Did you just hear me saying Fleet Foxes?) Despite it's name it's a really cheerful album and will blend perfectly with your glass of tepid rose wine any evening soon.
