While endlessly searching for new music on the interwebs, I came across this band from Portland called Alameda that caught my ear for a minute.  They seem to fit in nicely with the Portland scene as they have that sort of cool folk sound reminiscent of North Westerners Fleet Foxes.  I could even see them being a nice mix of our locals Balmorhea (if they had vocals) with that now super famous Portland folk grou.  The song below “Summer Dharma” appears on the band’s upcoming LP entitled Procession due out September 15th.  Maybe now we can get them down to Austin for a show.
