This time on Music to Watch, The Current's Sean McPherson and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's music producer Kateri Palen discuss Death Cab for Cutie, Lykke Li, Florence + the Machine, and alt-J (along with collaborators Pusha T and Twin Shadow).

Sean extols the creative output of Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine, saying it's "like seeing somebody go from being almost a rock star to being a bona fide rock star." And Kateri describes what makes alt-J a unique band with a special sound.
