    Still Corners is the London dream-pop duo of Greg Hughes and Tessa Murray. Strange Pleasures is their second album.  Despite the fact they're not breaking a lot of new ground, Strange Pleasures is an...
  Kurt Vile - Walkin On A Pretty Daze   I like this album a lot.  Airy guitar+vocal driven indie rock that just seems to float along.  It was a good sign when the end of the 9:30 title track came...
