A few months back I featured Merely, and I craved more. Well here is more, and let me tell you it was well worth the wait. I can’t wait for the album to be released next week!
Beat the Heart
Just when I think I can’t find new music for this blog, I stumble upon awesomeness such as Beat the Heart. And of course, they are one damn good looking band. This song makes me feel happy. This band makes me feel happy, and that is why I’m posting more than one song.
Mapei – Believe
I dedicated this to a friend who will know who they are after they listen to it. Great song about lifting your spirits and believing in yourself. Mapei brings great powerful lyrics with an awesome beat. I can’t wait to see her open for Lykke Li in October.
Leanids – A Wildly
Folky, and absolutely beautiful. Just the right amount of folk mixed in with a little soul. I stumbled upon this on Bandcamp and I am so glad I did. The Leanids are amazing. You should give them a good listen. Perfect for a lazy day on your couch or to make the time at work pass by.
Luha – Heart
I first featured Luha months ago when I started the blog. I’ve been anticipating a new release for quite some time and she finally delivered. She made it well worth the wait. This song is absolutely beautiful and will lullaby you into a splendor. This song touched me deep in my heart where I am soft.
Throwback Thursday – Ace of Base
So to keep with the way way back Throwbacks on Thursdays. Today I will feature Ace of Base. Campy , Dancey pop of the 90s. I know that when I was a little girl, I knew all the words to these songs. If you grew up in the 90’s you will definitely be familiar with this one. I thank my friends for bringing this up at a get together this past Saturday. I was having Throwback block and now it has been cured!
Stranded Mermaid
I need some help here from my brother because this reminds me of someone he introduced me to in the early 2000’s and I can’t pinpoint it. But since I can’t pinpoint it at the moment, I will just say this is some good stuff. I stumbled upon it on Soundcloud which has become my favorite source for finding awesome music. Folky goodness with dreamy vocals filled with beauty, and mystique. Let the Mermaid captivate you.
Goat – Words
Yay!!!!! A new Goat Song. I am so excited this is finally available for me to listen to on U.S. soil. I was so bummed the other day when they announced its release and Spotify denied my ears the of this awesomeness. Goat is probably my favorite psych rock by far! Still really bummed that I missed them play because of being sick. Goat please come baaaaahhhhhckk! (I hope you guys got my joke there). I will now go dance around my office like a banshee!
Alexandria – Secret Beach
Indie rock goodness for your Monday morning. Makes me wish I could leave work now and go back to the beach!
Linnea Olsson – Breaking and Shaking
I love the cello and I also love Linnea Olsson. I’ll have to wait to feature a song with her cello playing another time. Her recently released video for her song “Breaking and Shaking” is a pop spectacular. In this song she incorporates guitar and drums rather than the use of her cello. Her sweet vocals and the percussion beat make me want to get up dance shake and clap like Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. This song is magnificent.
