My Heart The Brave: “Keep Me From It”

“Keep Me From It,” the first single from super new Danish artist, My Heart The Brave, takes some time to heat up, but once it does, it’s an all out parade. Saccharine vocals over electronic glitches usually find their way into many an indie fan’s heart. “Keep Me From It” should ensure My Heart The… Continue reading My Heart The Brave: “Keep Me From It”

[MP3] Maria Taylor: “Tunnel Vision”

Um, how did this one just pass me by? Maybe because it premiered in the Wall Street Journal (everyone loves indie!).

It drops October 29 (via Saddle Creek) so that’s really all I’ll be listening to at the… Continue reading [MP3] Maria Taylor: “Tunnel Vision”

Peggy Sue: “Idle”

We all look for a… Continue reading Peggy Sue: “Idle”

The Water EP is… Continue reading Fossil Collective: “Half Light”

So I figured I’d take a break from my recent experimental folk pop and provide a danceable new tune from THUMPERS, a duo from London. They’re expected to release their debut full length in early 2014 via… Continue reading THUMPERS: “Unkinder (A Tougher Love)”

holychild

I can get down to this holychild pizzazz; it’s the type of live music we need now and again. Hopefully it translates as well to the stage as it does to the recorded material — there is so much energy here it’s contagious. (But, man, does she need to be wearing a Lakers shirt?) holychild… Continue reading holychild
