February Music Wrap-Up

The Music Wrap-Up is a monthly summary of my favorite and other notable new releases. Having trouble keeping up with all the new music? Need some music suggestions? Then the Music Wrap-Up is for you. And please support these musicians as that's the reason I'm featuring them in the first place.

The music onslaught of 2011 is beginning, so hold on tight! With surprises like a brand new Radiohead album out of the blue -- on top of the line-up of releases we already had -- there is a ton of great music coming out. I dug into some of these releases and found bands I'd never listened to before but will likely become some of my favorites.

Mogwai seem like a great post-rock type of band that I've all but ignored until now, Adele is a wonderfully talented woman that deserves the attention she's getting, and The Dears are another great act out of Montreal that have, until now, I've let be eclipsed by the bigger-name bands. Plus, new music from Trail of Dead, The Dirtbombs, and Bright Eyes. It was a good month for music, and March is only looking better. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's enjoy what February had to offer right now.
