I bought The Magic Numbers a week ago and I've played it every day since -- I'm hooked. It's got a California early 70's folk-pop sound, good songs and harmonies. It's two pairs of siblings and two fistfulls of fun.

Pernice Brothers' Discover A Lovelier You is a solid effort from the boys. Joe Pernice is up to his usual depressed lyrics (think Aimee Mann) wrapped inside a shimmery guitar-laced dreamscape. You wouldn't believe how catchy the tune is with lyrics like There's a train wreck / pickin' up survivors from a plane crash / On the T.V. laughing it's a / sad status quotient waitin' for the sky to fall. Some beautiful guitar pop here. I also recommend the two previous Pernice Brothers albums.
Sufjan Stevens -- Illinois. I played him at the 27 July 2005 music night and this is my album of the summer so far. I can't get enough of it. Highly recommended. You can hear Sufjan Stevens Live on KEXP for free (once there, click the "Interview" link to hear the whole performance).
Ben Lee's Awake Is The New Sleep, is some mellow pop from Down Under. Mostly understated production that worms it's way into your head. Mr. Lee has a good ear for melody.
