Mix Grill authors listen, choose and recommend the albums that stood out in mid August of 2009.

Kasabian - West ryder pauper lunatic asylum

The third album from Kasabian is the best of them in our opinion. It is flirting with psychedelia and 60's. Hear the whole album here .

Sonic Youth - Eternal

Sonic Youth's Eternal is in excellent album and justify once more all of us who love them. Listen to songs from the album here .

Florence & the Machine - Lungs

Sometimes the hype around a musician is justified. With the air of Tori Amos and Kate Bush, Florence has built something in its own "Lungs", which was supported quite well in this year's Synch Festival, in Athens. Hear the whole album here .
