It’s Throwback Thursday and I’m thrownin’ it back to the amazing Taken by Trees! After Victoria Bergsman left the Concretes she formed Taken by Trees and I am so glad she did because music would be sad without her beautiful voice and well written heart felt lyrics.

Lykke Li – Never Gonna Love Again
So I didn’t want to post anything until I heard the whole album a few times and could make an executive decision on what my favorite song was. Yesterday, Lykke Li released a highly anticipated third album, “I Never Learn” After listening to the album about 20 times, I have decided my favorite song is “Never Gonna Love Again.” Highly relatable lyrics paired with Lykke’s unique lovely vocals make this song a beautiful power ballad pleasure for the ears. What can I say about the whole album in one word? Heartbreak. But the greatness of this album did not break my heart cause I’m still in love with Lykke!
Tiger Forest Cat – New York New York
Love this artist’s name! Though its called “New York New York” I’m pretty sure the video was filmed in Paris. So take a moment and sit back in your chair and just enjoy!
Mariam the Believer – Above the World
So sorry for my break from blogging while my brother was here, but I am back! And I present to you the solo project of Mariam Wallentin from Wildbirds & Peacedrums. This is a lovely piece of experimental pop and it has me swaying in my chair right now. The video is so interesting and awesome as well!
The Knife – Pass This On
Tonight Tonight I’m seeing the Knife tonight! And in honor of this joyous occasion I will post my favorite song by them.
Zeigeist – Wrecked Metal
In honor of Brother Oblivious’ arrival in NYC tonight, I will put up a band he introduced me to, Zeigeist. Unfortunately for us, they are no longer together but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy them any longer. I love this song, and its perfect for running and dancing. Turn up your speakers!
OLD – Knee Hang Gang
How do I describe this other than it reminds of me 80’s freestyle music? And the beat makes me wanna sway dance. It’s like sensory overload at its best!
This is Head – Staring Lenses
RReleased earlier this year, Staring Lenses by This is Head is a musical dream for your ears. I was introduced to their music by the lovely friend Tina from Sweden. It was one of the first on her long list, and I must say I love it!
Colleagues – Parent’s House
Love love love this electro pop goodness, Colleagues. Makes me want to get up and a dance dance dance! Below is there single “Parent’s House” Have fun!
Jens Lekman – Friday Night at the Drive in Bingo
It’s Thursday and you know what that means…Time to throw it back! And my turn to finally feature Jens Lekman! One of my top favorite artists. Every Friday morning when I awake, I put this record on and dance to it though I don’t really go play bingo, but it’s about Friday and fitting. DEAL WITH IT. So please I ask you to stand up, turn your speakers up, press play and dance! Enjoy!
