Dirty Projectors, “No Intention” Attention, friends! Dirty Projectors, responsible for what will probably end up being one of the three best (if not the best) albums of 2009, announced their fall North American tour today and are slated to grace Salt Lake City with their presence on November 7th. Utah has been a concert wasteland [...]

Aggro1, “Since U Been Hard 2 Find” (Kelly Clarkson v. American Analog Set) We haven’t featured many mash-ups as of yet on the Song of the Day, but such compositions are a very delicate and under appreciated art form. In short, they can either be truly excellent augmentations of the original works or they can [...]

The Vibrant Sound, “79th And Flight” The Vibrant Sound has been getting a lot of love in Provo since the recent release of their first album, Downtown, and deservedly so. The group blends a myriad of styles to create a musical amalgamation that brings people of all stripes to Velour on a regular basis — [...]

Salt Lake City’s Gallivan Center was witness to a special evening of music Thursday night as indie favorites Iron & Wine and Okkervil River provided great tunes for a mammoth crowd. People packed downtown to here these two great acts, which made for a great sight if not always the greatest concert-going experience. It was [...]

Okkervil River, “Unless Its Kicks” Okkervil River and headliner Iron & Wine will be playing the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake City tonight as part of the free Twilight Concert Series. The show is sure to be a treat — it always is when you get two artists of this caliber on the same stage. [...]

The Low Anthem, “To Ohio” The Song of the Day returns! Due to my weekend trip to Texas over the weekend, this space has been somewhat empty since last week. However, fear not, ye loyal readers: We have returned — and we come bearing gifts of great music. God knows I have an ample soft [...]

Regina Spektor, “Us” Regina Spektor has recently taken on added significance in light of the release of her second album, Far, and prominent positioning on the critically acclaimed soundtrack to the latest indie darling, Rhombus-approved (500) Days of Summer. This Russian songstress was greeted with open arms by critics on her debut album, embodying a [...]

Animal Collective, “Who Could Win A Rabbit?” Rhombus loves Animal Collective. You should love Animal Collective too. These Brooklyn psych-folkers have made one of the three best (if not the best) albums of 2009 in Merriweather Post Pavilion. However, Animal Collective has been making great music for much longer than that, beginning with 2004′s Sung [...]

The Avett Brothers, “I and Love and You” You may be skeptical at first, but you just need to embrace the country harmonies of the Avett Brothers. Okay, so only two of the three “brothers” are actually Avetts, but the way these boys’ voices blend, you wouldn’t know the difference. (Definitely better than the Brothers [...]

Grizzly Bear, “Two Weeks” Now that Covers Week has come to a close here at Rhombus, it’s back to the original stuff — and music doesn’t get a whole lot more original than Grizzly Bear. No one’s quite sure what genre these Brooklyn boys fit in, but whatever it is, it’s good. Blending folk rock [...]
