The Notwist - Neon Golden

Just came across this the other day and am loving it so far. Tons of awesome sounds and textures going on throughout this album. Almost has the feel of the Postal Service but with better production value.

In honor of the RNC.

Sorry...but I couldn't resist. I will get back to posting albums shortly. This is too good to not share. Thanks for the heads up, Jordan.
