Ohhh Regina!

55

White Denim - Regina Holding Hands
  Austin-based White Denim is more characteristically blues than Regina may make you think. At first it felt too acoustic, too Dashboard Confessional, but the deep soul-style vocal inflection feels fresh. I love a good song about a girl with a funny name.

The Middle East - Blood
  In same way as Regina, Blood begins quietly folkish. The first two minutes feel exclusively like guitar arpeggios and drum brushes. This one ends in folk too, but its five-minute crescendo is surprisingly satisfying.

Dr. Dog - Heart it Races
  This is a couple of years old but it fits with the mood today.
