SONG OF THE DAY: Solange — “Losing You”
Here is the beautifully stylized video for “Losing You” off Solange’s new album True. While it can’t be easy getting out of the shadow cast by her older sister Beyonce, Solange is doing a pretty good job. Teo
SONG OF THE DAY: Youth Lagoon — “Montana”
I promise I’m not just choosing this song because it’s named after my amazing state. Youth Lagoon-aka Trevor Powers-combines hauntingly beautiful lyrics with synths and guitar for an amazing creation that has been my most listened to album in 2012. The video is awesome as well!
SONG OF THE DAY: TTMOE — “King of Spain”
As I’m getting ready to go to Spain (leaving in 4 days, yay for Camp College!), this song has been on my mind…
SONG OF THE DAY: Metric — “Youth Without Youth”
“Youth Without Youth” is the new single from Metric’s forthcoming album, Synthetica. The band was very influenced by 60s Radical architecture and design (hence the album art) as well as the realities of the modern and super-modern age.
SONG OF THE DAY: Schoolhouse Rock — “I Got Six”
“It makes a big difference how you spread it around”
SONG OF THE DAY: Bernhoft — “Cmon Talk”
This Scandinavian musician makes some really cool music without anyone else to slow him down. Utilizing a looping pedal, he creates multiple beats, guitar and base lines, and backup vocals to support whatever he’s doing at the time. Check it out if you’re into cool things.
SONG OF THE DAY: Shlohmo — “Rained The Whole Time (Nicolas Jaar Remix)”
I just had to share this remix by the electronica musician of the moment, Nicolas Jaar. The techno beats and subtle pauses layered over the ever-present bass will have you hooked. This particular intro sounds like bricks being sauteed with butter in a hot pan and the entire song is in fact a delicious treat for the ears— enjoy. If you like this check out the original beat by Shlohmo from the ‘Vacation’ EP.
SONG OF THE DAY: Finn Riggins — “Benchwarmers”
Finn Riggins are based out of the lovely town of Boise, Idaho and just came out with a great new EP epitomized by this catchy title track “Benchwarmers.”
SONG OF THE DAY: Mountain Man — “Soft Skin”
Mountain Man is an all-female three-piece that formed a couple of years ago at Bennington College in Vermont. They create chillingly beautiful harmonies, some with sparse guitar and others a capella.
