UNKLE goes to town on “Lord Let The Light Shine On Me” from Noel’s forthcoming solo debut. The UK outfit serve up a nice balance of Noel’rific writing (of the LP’s more Oasis-like tunes) and outside the box type elements that we can come to expect from High Flying Birds. Is that a gospel singer Noel? Get the album November 8th.

So Wild Vibes are a new band out of NYC. “Don’t Stop” is a really cool mix of classic guitar rock, more modern electronic music, and great melody writing. The hook on “Don’t Stop”s chorus is as good any in indie rock 2011. Rock.

“On Your Way” is new from Alabama Shakes, formerly just The Shakes. Supported by frontwoman Brittany Howard’s husky, urgent, honest vocal, AS play some really excellent southern soul-influenced rock and roll. Otis Redding, James Carr, CCR, The Band, other stuff are just a few of the references here. If you like a little church and/or a little deep fryer in your rock music (we do!), you will want to check Alabama Shakes out ASAP.

We end the week with an ass kicking c/o of Florida band The Owsley Brothers. Like raw, swampy sounding electric blues as much as us? Yeah, that’s what we thought. Give The Owsley Bros’ “Burden On Your Eyes” a spin below.

If you haven’t been lucky enough to catch the Jim Jones Revue live, check out their Letterman appearance. “Burning Down Your House” is their aptly titled album, and you’ll probably want to catch up with them next time they hit a local venue.

Dirty Beaches is crazy. Dude is totally bonkers but our Mr. Beaches is also soulful as hell. That downbeat clap on “Lone Runner” is enough to get the congregation on their feet. Listen at the pulpit of Dirty Beaches.

If the excellent jagged “Young Lovers”, the latest single from Durham UK band The Castells, is any indication – we will be hearing a lot more from them in the very near future. Somebody get Zane Lowe this track!

Listen to “You Don’t Know” and try to guess where French Films are from. Manchester? No. London? No. Dublin? Nope. Finland! French Films are Finnish and are really good. “You Don’t Know” is a great (albeit brief, the track clocks in under 2 minutes) slice of hooky modern post punk. Sound good? Give French Films a spin.

One more thing we have in common with David Dallas. We feel like Oasis everyday of the week. Monday, we feel like we’re the young hungry Definitely Maybe Oasis, the Oasis that will record, scrap and re-record an album three times. By Wednesday we feel like Morning Glory Oasis, we’re still the fucking shit but we’re too drunk/high to care. By Friday, we feel like Be Here Now Oasis, the fact that we’re the fucking shit still can’t be questioned, but now we’re too drunk/high to have any idea what that is, that its actually Friday or that we’re supposed to be “Feeling like Oasis” or anything else really. We pretty much just feel like “Drugs”. And so forth.

“Sea of Knives”, excerpted here from Chicago indie pop artist Brice Woodall’s “Id Escaped” EP, is one gorgeous stop-what-you’re-doing melody after another. Don’t sleep.
