In some ways, music doesn't get much more modest or minimalist than it is in the hands of The Civil Wars, a duo comprised of California-to-Nashville transplant Joy Williams and her Alabaman partner, John Paul White. They travel without a backup band, and on their first full-length album, Barton Hollow, the bare-bones live arrangements that fans hear on the road are fleshed out with just the barest of acoustic accoutrements. Each song is an intimate conversation, and no third wheels or dinner-party chatter are going to interrupt that gorgeous, haunting hush.

Night Horse exploded on to the Los Angeles rock scene in 2008, playing their first live show ever while mixing their debut EP The Dark Wont Hide You for Tee Pee Records. Since then, Night Horse has caught the ears and eyes of critics and fans alike with their unique ability to blend the classic sounds of hard rock and blues music with a much needed breath of contemporary fresh air. "If Sonic Youth had been immersed in an ocean of Allman Brothers inspiration, or Soundgarden had been steeped in late 60s Fleetwood Mac, then they might have turned out something like this. Night Horse take traditional blues-rock, spark it up with riotously noisy flashes and drag the rhythms through an early-90s grunge experience. Moreover, they're cohesive, charismatic and compelling." Night Horse return with their highly anticipated sophomore effort Perdition Hymns, produced and mixed by Matt Bayles (Pearl Jam, Mastodon, The Sword).

Fences summarizes Mansfield's music in succinct, compelling fashion—no simple feat, considering that his sound doesn't fit neatly in any single box. He speaks with audible affection of '80s innovators like the Cure, Kate Bush, and Morrissey, icons who created a consummate, all-encompassing aesthetic, just as he aspires to do with Fences. A close listen to the rhythm tracks on several cuts also underscores Mansfield's love of down-tempo classic country. An anthology of Johnny Cash's Sun Records sides was one of his constant soundtracks while working as a dishwasher. "The tempo of that material just has a unrelenting drive," he reflects. "It carries the lyrics from start to finish before you even realize what has been said." Further enriching his sound, Mansfield also has a powerful affinity for jazz, citing John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Wayne Shorter among his favorites. "Sometimes that music is just so chaotic, which is what growing up feels like," he observes. "I always wondered why more confused teenagers didn't listen to jazz. The girl you're in love with doesn't love you back? Go home and put on Charlie Parker playing 'Embraceable You.'" Later he studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Sometimes Mansfield's jazz background is reflected in something as simple as augmenting a minor chord with a major seventh, but Berklee also sold him on the value of commitment and discipline. Hence Mansfield's laser-like focus on achieving his goals. "I appreciate the <b>...</b>

With a reverence for the vintage sounds of 1970s Ethiopian pop and a fresh approach all their own, Debo Band offers an exciting live show full of the searing horns, crooning vocals, and slinky funk grooves that brought renown to the Ethiopiques series. Founded by Ethiopian-America musician Danny Mekonnen, the group is committed to introducing Ethiopian music to new audiences far and wide. Since forming in 2006, this Boston-based collective of eleven members has made two pilgrimages to East Africa -- with accordions, tubas, saxophones, guitars, and drums in tow. Along the way, Debo Band has struck up collaborations with traditional Ethiopian artists, played major African music festivals, and is currently working with a filmmaker on a documentary about their escapades. Debo Band recently produced its first two releases: Adderech Arada, a 7" single on the Brooklyn-based label Electric Cowbell Records, and Flamingoh (Pink Bird Dawn), a self-released EP/CD recorded live in Africa and the US, documenting their unique take on 1970s Ethiopian funk. In September 2010, Debo Band presented the debut US tour of their project with Fendika, a dance and folk music ensemble from Addis Ababa, at the Chicago World Music Festival and Joe's Pub (NYC).

Brighton, 2008. Sam Denniston and old school friend George Grinling, whilst at university, get together and record some demos with fellow musicians under the name of Ice Black Birds. The early recordings are inspired by blues and rock 'n' roll of the past, particularly The Stones, Cream and Creedence Clearwater Revival alongside some modern purveyors of the genre such as Kings Of Leon, The Black Keys and White Denim. In the opinion of Sam and George, there aren't any current UK bands doing this properly, and with any real balls or conviction. The 'British Kings Of Leon' tag has been up for grabs for too long, and it's going to be seized with two hands. Tracks are subsequently posted online, and the local scene's ears prick up; the energy and youthful exuberance in the songs is infectious, and their debut show at Brighton's Providence venue on a Friday night in late 2008 is a complete sell-out. More well-received hometown shows follow, and in time the band are invited to support touring acts such as Wave Machines, Post War Years, We Have Band, Joe Gideon & The Shark, Local Natives and Peggy Sue, in turn developing and honing their live show and becoming a real must see act. By early 2010, the band feel it's about time to put a record out there to get themselves on the map.

Few bands have made more of the past 12 months than Sydney quartet The Jezabels. Since releasing their second EP, She's So Hard, in November 2009, the four-piece have toured the country supporting Tegan & Sara, Katie Noonan and Josh Pyke, and as headliners in their own right (selling out shows nationally in the process). They've watched Hurt Me, the lead single from She's So Hard, receive heavy rotation on radio in Australia and abroad, a feat also achieved by its follow-up, Easy To Love. Fittingly, The Jezabels have seen their fanbase grow every step of the way -- sometimes in the most unexpected places. "I think the biggest spin-out was when someone from Germany sent us a YouTube clip of them dancing to one of our songs," grins 23-year-old vocalist Hayley Mary. There have been lessons learned along the way. The constant touring has, says 24-year-old keyboardist Heather Shannon, made the band -- completed by guitarist Sam Lockwood (24) and drummer Nik Kaloper (25) -- much tighter. Sharing the stage with Tegan & Sara, they learned how to work the biggest rooms of their career. Best of all, the long hours travelling betweens gigs and the routine of performing every night has solidified the band's understanding of what it is that makes them tick. "I think we have a more consolidated idea of ourselves," nods Mary. Which brings us to The Jezabels' new EP, Dark Storm.

yan Hover and Kay Bertholf, composers, arrangers, and principle songwriters of Candy Claws, wrote Hidden Lands on keyboard because they don't know how to play keyboard. They had to rely completely on what sounded right, rather than rely on techniques they had learned. Strange chords and melodies arose that might sound "wrong" to the trained musician, but sound mysterious and exciting to them. Each song on Hidden Lands contains a sample of every other song on the album. They'd used this technique on previous releases, but this time around it happens throughout the whole album, creating a very cohesive listening experience. Sometimes you'll be able to recognize a bit of a song within another, but perhaps more interesting are the references only your subconscious will catch. Without you noticing, your mind (and maybe your heart!) will make the connections, bridging the bridge of one song to the intro of another, taking in the album as a whole, just like albums should be. Hidden Lands, their second album and first on twosyllable records, is a musical companion to Richard M. Ketchum's book, The Secret Life of the Forest. To derive lyrics, the band borrowed paragraphs from the book and used translation software to translate them back and forth between English and Japanese until they equalized, finding very cool phrases along the way. The resulting lyrics are almost nothing like the original words, but are actually some very insightful and poetic phrases ("Trees, like all other <b>...</b>

In an age when virtually everything -- especially music -- is instantly accessible and easily transmitted from anywhere in mere seconds, it's no small wonder that Europe has managed to keep Casiokids to themselves for this long. But, Topp stemning pa lokal bar is poised to place Casiokids on the tips of tongues across the US (Even if most would be hard-pressed to correctly pronounce the album's title!) Hailing from the same celebrated Bergen scene that has produced Datarock and Annie, Casiokids were so-named for the beat-up old keyboards with which the band members first conceived their club-ready sound. Formed with the intention of making electronic music more visual, the band has since added guitar and drums to produce a collection of incredibly catchy tunes often sung in their native Norwegian and influenced by afro-beat, techno and out-and-out pop. Like former tour mates (and now labelmates) of Montreal, Casiokids put on a theatrical live show -- incorporating a blend of shadow puppets, video projections and animal costumes -- that is not to be missed. Whether playing for the truly young (as during a 12-date kindergarten tour in Norway) or the young at heart (at almost all of Europe's largest festivals and on tour with Hot Chip), Casiokids generate the kind of unrestrained party mood that inevitably transforms any audience into a joyous, dancing mass.

Standing out for reasons far greater than just drummer Jonny Rogoff's heroically gigantic Afro, Yuck captures the frayed noise and hooky, guitar-driven melodies of '90s rock, even though its members, at 20, are too young to have experienced it firsthand. Recorded live from Stubb's in Austin, Texas on March 16, 2011. Follow all of NPR Music's SXSW 2011 coverage at www.npr.org/sxsw.
