Entertained by Phoenix

They have done it again!  Remember that band from a years back with the title of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix(also known as Phoenix)?  They had two smash hits, Liztomania and 1901?  Well guess what!  they just came back and they are awesome as ever!  I was reading the lastest edition of Nylon and saw that they made a comeback.  So it was only natural that I would go and check it out.  

What did I find?

My new favorite for the month.   Recently, a song from their new album Bankrupt! leaked on the Internet. Entertainment is only a taste of what is to come from them. Once again, Phoenix has brought their A-game with edgy guitars and retro sounding synthesizers.  They have brought the best of cotton-candy pop (that is a complement).  It’s a kick-back-have-no-worries kind of song.  It is the perfect summer song to listen while traveling, lounging, or just looking to have plain fun.  Seeing as this is only a taste of what is to come, I am extremely excited to see what the band further produces on their new album, said to be released April 23rd!

The vaccines finding ways to cure a boring weekend

If you are like me this weekend, your suffering from complete boredom.  Now usually I’m excited for this kind of rest but I’m going out of mind not having anything to do.  But then I found the answer to my problems.  What is the answer you might ask? Well here it is: The Vaccines.

First to start of with these guys are an english indie rock band.  They consist of four band members, Justin Young,Árni Hjörvar,Freddie Cowan, and Pete Roberts.  These west Londoners released their first What did you expect from the Vaccines? was released March 14, 2011.  After reaching number 4 on the UK, people soon compared them to artist such as the The Strokes. 

So tonight’s song is Goog guys Don’t Wear White.  Whether that statement is true or not, I have no idea.  But, what I do know is that this band is filled with chaotic and lively sound.  Though the guitars are somewhat mashed together Though I can’t give you a real description, I can tell you that if you like French Films, then you will defiantly like this song!  So I hope you are having a fun weekend and hears the song to add to your fun:

Good Guys Don’t Wear White

Uber Chill Playlist

I am all excited to say that we have a three day weekend.  If your like me and need a serious break from stress then this playlist is for you.  Here are some extremely chill songs to on repeat.

Nothing Like You and I- The Perishers

These guys are a swedish indy rock band.  This song is kind of lazy and cute to listen to.

Rescue Song (RAC Remix)- Mr. Little Jeans:

This song is perfect for lazy mornings and I-feel-like-staying-in-my-pajamas-feeling.  The sound is clean and chic and reminds me of a clear morning with the sun shining through the curtains.

Keep the lights on- Wave Machines:

This song makes for a good funky morning.  The beat is awesome and the tune is spunky but not way to spunky.

Something or nothing- Pale Seas:

This song is the chillest of all the songs.  I has a soothing tone and a chimes to add to the euphoria it creates.

Breaking Away- Ratatat:

Ratatat uses more beats, but in it’s own weird way you can listen and find yourself at ease.

The Sea Of Cortez – Telephonic:

This is perfect to listen to first thing in the morning!

 

Hoped you guys liked this and have an awesome weekend!

Nothing more than Expanaive Looks

Sorry to mislead those expecting this to be about fashion.  Today’s song is a highly addivtive lucid song by Expansive Look.  The man behind the  psych-hop pop music is Alec Field. Alec is a New York based producer.  Most of his music has a lucid sound, calming beats, and disco- echos in the backround. His new song Nothing More is a terrific example of his creative talent.

     Nothing More really reminds me of a song you would listen to on a snowy day or if your trying to listen to something mellow.  This song is ideal for snowy or rainy days.  Though not entirely that moving, the song is way to addicitive.  I have spent the entire week re-playing this song in my head.  Not to mention when ever I wake up in the morning it is the first somg in my head.  Here is the youtube video and hope you all have a wonderful holidays(don’t worry I’ll still be posting throughout the weeks):

 

Tripping out on Sleeping Bags

   So todays band’s origins are somewhat unclear but I’m going to give you the best explanation I can.  Lets start in at a more practical place with the name, Sleeping Bags.  Now I really want to point out the quirky-ness of the band’s name.  Only to add to the awesome quirky -ness they are an indy pop band (hooray my favorite!!!)   Basically this band was started by two twin bother Matt and Jessie Kivel. Hailing from the second indy pop capital California, they teamed up with other super unknown artists Abe Burns, Dave Lewis and Mark Nieto.  

They have only released one song called shark.  Now I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was my favorite song but it is definitely a song that can earn you bragging hipster points.  Their song is like a really indescribable  acid trip( hence the title).  Here is the Soundcloud track for all the listen to:

Sharks- Sleeping Bags

 

Golden Sea bringing a little light

As the dreary cold days of winter are rapidly approaching, here is a song to lighten up your day. Golden Sea.is a feel good song that makes life a bit more bearable.  The artists are a Finish band called French Films.  This their first song and let me tell you it gold!  They are the essence of indy bands.  Interestingly enough, they are a five piece band.  This is the only song that has been released in the United States.

If you need a song to jump up and down to and just not care about the world this is a really good song to listen to.  The voices have a nice deep voice with just the right amount of roughness in it.  The guitar in it is also fantastic and makes my world go round.  Just in general these people make me happy(which takes some extra boost to do these days).  So take it from me put this song on repeat and forget about the world and just feel the pure bliss.  Here is French Films:

Golden Sea- French Films
