Beach House! Beach House! Beach House! Get the Beach House album!!! The Men should be on an earlier playlist, but for some reason I hadn't listened to them till now. Listening to them with the new Cloud Nothings album is a great mix of indie alt rock. It's great to see Jai Paul back. I hope he comes out with an album eventually and not just sporadic singles. I can't emphasize how great the Beach House album is.
Open Your Heart – The Men
Open Your Heart – The Men
An awesome rock band not singing about depression or angst
but the awesome life of a rock star: a very fun listen.
Jasmine – Jai Paul
Jail Paul has an amazing track record: two songs released,
both gems. For being such an amateur, Jail Paul knows how to use bass amazingly
to juxtapose his vocals.
Monoliths – Lotus
Plaza
For everyone who thought that Bradford Cox was Deerhunter,
look again. Lockett Pundt’s side project Lotus Plaza shows that the great
repetitively of Deerhunter is his creation.
When I Grow Up –
First Aid Kit
This song isn’t new, but it’s a wonderful cover of Fever
Ray. First Aid Kit has great potential to make a big impact in modern folk
music.
No Interruption –
Hoodie Allen
I have to give a shout out to Jewish rappers. Hoodie Allen
is blowing up at colleges all around the country. He also made a guest
appearance in a Jake and Amir short.
The Wave – Miike Snow
Its interesting to watch how Miike Snow develops from such a
popular song like Animal. They could have gone the route of MGMT and change
paths creating experimental songs, but rather their new album sounds like a
more experienced product of the first.
I Love It – Icona Pop
I hope that this song becomes as loved as Hello by Martin
Solvieg. It’s just as poppy and it’s as summery a song as you can ask for.
Lazuli – Beach House
Lazuli is my favorite song from the new Beach House album. I
love the bridged melody and the energy and power expressed during the chorus. Never
have I appreciated lapus lazuli so much.
Other People – Beach
House
I love the lyrics about the difficulties of maintaining long
distance friendships. Its so cool how that distant feeling in conveyed in the
dreaminess of the song.
Still I Hear The
World Progress - Lushlife and Styles P
