We’ll start off this week’s ‘Free Music Friday’ with a two-for. The Good Graces is the solo project from Kim Ware, out of Atlanta on her own Eskimo Kiss Records. She just released her debut album, Sunset Over Saxapahaw and we’re happy to share “Over It” and “Disassembled” from the release. A healthy double dose of minimalist indie rock to start the weekend.

Nashville’s Paper Route is currently touring with Low vs. Diamond and Barcelona before the head overseas to bring their poppy electronica to the Brits for a short stint. Toss the previous mellow indie rock aside and check the slick upbeat sound of “Empty House” from the group’s Are We All Forgotten EP. These kids are gonna be big.

School of Seven Bells
School of Seven Bells is currently touring with M83, opening many a sold out show across the US and receiving rave reviews. Tomorrow night, the Brooklyn trio hits Philadelphia’s Starlight Ballroom, a highly anticipated show which Editor-in-Chief Jessica will attending. Should you need any convincing to attend, listen no further than the the sweetly smooth “Connjur” off the band’s just released Alpinisms. The ambient melodies will have you floating on a cloud.

A Tempo! will be released stateside in March 2009 thanks for Joyful Noise but until then, snag this full and heavy math rock-y track:
