Maybe it’s the impending SF snow but we’ve never had a Friday Five with so many white LP covers. Even if the TVOTR shot isn’t the final cover, I’m caught up in snow mania. Here’s a bunch of tunes to add to your winter shopping list. Enjoy thoroughly.

TV On The Radio “Will Do” from Nine Types of Light

The Lilies “We Want To Live” from We Are The Lilies

13 & God “Old Age” from Own Your Ghost

Lykke Li “I Follow Rivers” (Dave Sitek Remix) originally from Wounded Ryhmes

Music: Lykke Li x Bon Iver “Dance Dance Dance”
MP3: That Ghost, Air Waves w/Sharon Van Etten, The Radio Dept. Acoustic, and Yuck
MP3: 13 & God (The Notwist x Themselves)
MP3: TV On The Radio side project Maximum Balloon with Karen O

Starting things off with a wandering winter diddy from Santa Rosa’s That Ghost (Ryan Schmale). Then Sharon Van Etten gives you yet another reason to order the new Air Waves. A taste of the new Minks LP is more Smiths-y than Cure-y but nonetheless tasty. Acoustic Radio Dept. shows off Johan Duncanson breathy pipes. And while there’s a new Yuck LP coming soon, this early track still fits the bill for a cold, winter day. Enjoy thoroughly.

Minks “Cemetery Rain” from By the Hedge
