An indie-folk trio lady trio based out of Sydney. My interest is already piqued. But really, though, “Hide” is a lovely song and makes me feel so much better about this dreary day (not to mention the winter darkness ahead). The rolling percussion and echoed vocals turn what begins as a nice folk ditty into… Continue reading Little May: “Hide”

Hayden Calnin: “Coward”
His music still strikes me at the core. Check out Calnin’s new song below. I’ve got nothing to add to my first post, which nicely sums up my feelings. Expect more TV placement soon. Shout out to my fellow Hayden Calnin loving friend Missy from LBYB. Hayden Calnin on SoundCloud | Facebook | Knox Road
Eureka Birds return with new album “Strangers”
Chris walked up the front steps to the worn-down school he used to call home for 15 years. Fresh out of University, he taught English to seventh graders. It had been full of laughter, mischievous souls, and teachers who hated the place yet loved it at the same and wouldn’t give it up for the… Continue reading Eureka Birds return with new album “Strangers”
Chris Flew
Dark is coming sooner now. Time to layer up. For some of us, hibernation becomes natural, and not just physical. It’s a state of mind. We’d like nothing more than to curl up in bed, clench our toes under our comforters, and stay away from it all. Tomorrow is a new day. Chris Flew on… Continue reading Chris Flew
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”
Peggy Sue: “Idle”
Tragic events have afflicted my hometown this past week, one hitting closer to me personally, but both just as heartbreaking. It’s the small things in life that we don’t pay any attention to until it’s too late, and often not even then, that help us become whole. We all work. We all look for a… Continue reading Peggy Sue: “Idle”
GEMS: “Medusa”
Oh yeah. I am feeling GOOD about this song. “Medusa” is the title track off GEMS’ forthcoming EP and it is instantly mesmerizing. The juxtaposition of the strong-bodied female alto with the deep male bass is near perfect, and even more so when the falsetto harmony rings out. (In other news, there was a bizarre… Continue reading GEMS: “Medusa”
Fossil Collective: “Half Light”
Fossil Collective is in the midst of a strong run of single releases lately as they prepare to officially release The Water EP. The Leeds duo knows not to add extraneous noise to their enchanting vocals. The piano and acoustic guitar are all we need for the delicate, magnetic track. Simple is better. The Water EP is… Continue reading Fossil Collective: “Half Light”
Nothing Romantic About UK’s Savages
“The world used to be silent / Now it has too many voices.” – Savages (Silence Yourself Manifesto) As I prepare to see Savages at the Fonda Theatre in L.A. tonight, I look back at my first experience seeing this band earlier this year. Jerking her head back-and-forth, with sudden and purposeful movements, Jehnny Beth’s dark, piercing… Continue reading Nothing Romantic About UK’s Savages
THUMPERS: “Unkinder (A Tougher Love)”
I haven’t really been posting about “popular” indie music lately, but it doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying it. 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)”
