A notable release earlier this week was Born Ruffians' Red Yellow & Blue. I first saw these guys open for Hot Chip in '06 and they've been gaining momentum ever since! They do a great job of keeping their indie pop songs fresh despite only being a 3 piece - I love how they end "Hummingbird" by changing the bassline of an already established part.

Aaah thank you for this! I love them and was missing one song from their album (random much?) and this was it.
Also, are you in the Bay Area? I run a sort of music culture blog for San Francisco on here too!
Yeah, I been meaning to the post the track for a while, just got sidetracked, as usual! SF represent...
