SXSW: Summerbirds in the Cellar

Summerbirds in the Cellar shares members with the moody pop-rock band Now It's Overhead, and the two bands do share similar sounds. The group spends half its time in Athens, Ga., so R.E.M. comparisons are inevitable, but there's a bit more polish to R.E.M.'s ragtag jangle. Summerbirds' latest is With the Hands of the Hunter It All Becomes Dead, an album densely layered with pulsing synths, cooed vocals, and jagged guitars. Hear the group recorded live in concert from Austin, TX as part of our S...

NPR Listeners Pick the Year's Best CDs

Tens of thousands of listeners voted in the All Songs Considered poll for the year's best CDs. It was tight for much of the race. Radiohead and Arcade Fire ran neck-and-neck for first place. But in the end, Radiohead's In Rainbows pulled ahead as an overwhelming winner for the most popular album in 2007. There were also some surprises: some of the year's most anticipated CDs (like Rilo Kiley's Under the Blacklight), or most popular albums (like Lily Allen's Alright, Still) barely made the top ...
