Now Playing

New music is always exciting. A few days a go I posted 4 or 5 new songs that I had really started to fall in love with. Some more than others but nonetheless still pretty much love. I figured I'd post some more because I mean, who doesn't love new music. I want to throw links up, but my mom's computer is super weird and for some reason lets me copy but won't let me paste. Lame.



David - The Radio Dept.


I've been a huge TRD fan since I found them in second year. They come from sweeden and everything is in English but the music itself has a really light dreamy feel to it. They use a lot of distortion and synthesizer so if you're not big on that, you most likely won't be big on them. This song David, is from their album released last year which is comparable with their early stuff. It's different and different is good!



All to All - Broken Social Scene


It wouldn't be a post about indie music without a hit from Arts & Crafts. This song features a vocal track from BSS' new leading lady Lisa Lobsinger who some of you may know better in her role as vocallist for Reverie Sound Revue. It's a light airy track, that's great for driving in the car with all the windows rolled down. I see a pattern with the songs I've chosen... hmmm. Anyhow, I like this song because it shows Lisa in her element and doesn't make her sound like a clone of Emily, Amy or Fiest.


Goodbye Bye - OWL

A friend of friends of mine and I have a strange twitter relationship going on. We've not met, but we know of each other and lately have been trading cool tunes. He let me know of OWL not too long ago and after downloading their EP I'm waiting for new music from them impatiently. OWL is an electro-pop duo from Halifax. Their being Canadian has no effect on me liking them at all... It's nothing out of the ordinary, not spectacular, not mind blowing. Just fun, and happy. Like the other two songs, light, airy and good for driving to. A few of their other songs of the EP chants (the vibrations in the streets keep me weak in the knees) are a bit better, some a bit worse so this song gives you an idea of how most of their music sounds.

Right As Rain - Adele

Obviously not a new song (the album 19 came out in 2008), it is light, and catchy. I love the sound of Adele and I'm not huge on soul music despite being on a big binge lately. For being so young (she's only 21!) she's got one hell of a voice and has found the majority of her success back home in England. I like that entire album actually. Hmm... Blue Eyed Soul. Different.


Hotel Song - Regina Spektor

Now, before anyone writes this song off completely because of who it's by, I ask you just to stop and listen to it instead. I'm not a big Regina Spektor fan myself. I like maybe a handful of songs by her. The rest I find a too odd for me. There's mainstream and I'm all for being different, but some of them are just bad. This song is happy (kind of), and it's one of the few songs by her you can actually understand what she's saying. It makes for a good dancing around the room when you're getting ready in the morning and you're still naked song.

Francis or C'etait salement romantique - Coeur de Pirate

Both of these songs tie for first place in my books of songs I like by Coeur de Pirate. They're both cute, short, soft and good for a nap/bedtime/melow play list. They're both good for music to have around the fireplace during a cooler summer evening while roasting marshmellows and stargazing. All of her music relies heavily on the piano so if that's not your thing, this probably wouldn't be too great for you. Otherwise, tres romantique!


Best Coast - When I'm With You

Take Joan Jett and calm her down slightly, then turn the treble on your radio all the way down, increase the distortion and mix it with The Radio Dept and you'd probably get this song. I love this song, it's so summer fun. It's exactly what summer should be, full of romance, heartbreak, drinking, and carefree. I'm not too sure about the rest of the music by this band since I've not dabbled in it yet but if it's anything like this song then I'm sure I'll enjoy it and hopefully you will too!
