Cheerful and joyous greetings to you all! The young New Balearic 2009 edition is fresh and ready for another year of great music. Indeed, it did not take long for the new year to produce some swell songs from some even sweller(?) bands. SUCH AS…. Animal Collective’s amazing, “words-don’t-do-justice” album Merriweather Post Pavilion...Peter, Bjorn, and John’s new and interesting single “Nothing To Worry About”… Bon Iver’s delicate and nostalgic EP Blood Bank… or/and tracks from the Junior Boys‘ electrifying third album Begone Dull Care. Yes sir! It gets even better with some gems from 2008 including… Human Highway’s catchy and crisp “The Sound”… a deep, ambient effort from Portland’s Helios… and even a trip-hop track from Aether!

I hope you like it.
