Wed, 28 January 2009 
To start off 2009 we are celebrating IODAcast's 50th episode! We've put together a retrospective- highlighting a number of our favorite artists from the hundreds of amazing independent musicians we've dug up and featured over the past few years.IODAcast 50 features: The Black Angels, Tinariwen, Frightened Rabbit, Broken Social Scene, Burial, Pigeon John, School of Seven Bells and Beirut. Read about the featured artists and download the featured tracks below:  The Black Angels "Bloodhounds On My Trail" (mp3)from "Passover" (Blue Scholars / Light in the Attic) More On This AlbumThe Black Angels are a psychedelic rock band from Austin, Texas, formed in May 2004. Their name derives from the Velvet Underground song "The Black Angel's Death Song". Having played at Lollapalooza, SXSW, and All Tomorrow's Parties, the group has gained much critical praise for their dark, psych-rock. Resurrecting the dark, drone style of the 60's and blending it with southern rock, The Angels have an authentic sound that's rarely heard today.
Securing praise from Thom Yorke, Santana, Robert Plant, Bono, Coldplay, Tinariwen are guitar-poets from the southern Sahara desert. They are icons of freedom and resistance among their own people, the nomadic Touareg of the Sahara. The group was founded at the end of the 1970s, during a period of great suffering in the desert, due to the catastrophic droughts of the early 1970s that decimated the animal herds and almost destroyed the Touareg's ancient nomadic way of life. Tinariwen began to write songs describing the pain of exile, the longing for lost homes and families, the struggle for political and cultural freedom, and the rigors of everyday life in the desert. Transposing the traditional melodies of the Touareg on the electric guitar then mixing them with blues, rock, pop, Berber and Arabic influences, Tinariwen created a modern desert rock sound. In the early 1980s, the were lured into rebel training camps in Libya by Colonel Gadaffi, becoming the official mouthpiece of the Touareg rebellion in northern Mali and Niger, which all the founding members of the group took part in. Now with three successful albums released, including the latest Aman Iman, numerous tours of Europe, USA and the Far East, appearances at the most prestigious festivals and a BBC Award for World Music, Tinariwen have emerged as a prolific and truly special musical group.
Haunted indie-folk with moments of real urgency and a Pixie-esque dynamic range that can take you from hushed to majestic and back again in seconds flat. And they're from Scotland, so the accent is a nice touch. Rabbit took the blogosphere by storm on the strength of 2006's Sing the Greys then kicked it up a notch in April with The Midnight Organ Fight, hailed by Nicholas Harmer of Death Cab for Cutie as his favorite album of 2008.
Broken Social Scene are an award winning Canadian indie rock band, a music collective currently including nineteen members, formed in 1999 by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning. All of its members currently play in various other groups and solo projects, mainly based around the city of Toronto and the Arts and Crafts Label. It is characterized by a very large number of sounds, grand orchestrations featuring guitars, horns, woodwinds, and violins, unusual song structures, and an experimental and sometimes chaotic production style from David Newfeld. Their 2003 and 2006 albums released under the BSS name have both won the Juno Award for Best Alternative Album. The group is comprised of members from Stars, Feist, Metric, Valley of the Giants, The Weakerthans, Apostle of Hustle, and and Do Make Say Think.
