Young Digerati – Peak Performance
New song from San Francisco’s Young Digerati. It’s the first single from their upcoming Endless Bummer EP
Go To PostKO KO – Float
Between this song and new Passion Pit, you’re privy to 90% of my listening habits this week. Those two songs have been on near repeat–listening at work, driving in the car, and in my bedroom. I simply can’t get enough of either. Float, probably, even more so than Take A Walk–it’s definitely going to be a song that sneaks on to summer mixtapes everywhere. At some point, I might want to escape it but between the happy sounds and relatable lyrics, I don’t see that being any point soon.
You can find the lyrics below. You can find the Float EP at Bandcamp. Enjoy.
Go To PostDry The River – New Ceremony
“It’s better to be late than to never show up.” That’s what I said when I was accidentally late to an event last week because, well, I took a nap and woke up late. I was just covering up with an excuse then, but it also applies here and sounds more poetic.
I’m late to Dry the River’s music and their song, New Ceremony. I’ve been missing out. It reminds me of Mumford and Sons, or better, Frightened Rabbit sans Scottish accents and I guess that makes some sense as they are Londoners. New Ceremony is undoubtedly anthemic, but it’s the lyrics and my interpretation that really capture my imagination from the song that was written at a Welsh cottage.
If you haven’t heard this song, I recommend it and if you have, listen and love again.
Go To PostMS MR – Hurricane
Welcome to the inner workings of mind
If this was written a dozen years ago, I have no doubts it would be a song that sounds like something out of Melissa Etheridge or Sheryl Crow’s alternative pop playbook as the intro of this song hints at. In 2012, it draws more influence from Florence + The Machine it seems. It’s richer musically that complements the powerful vocals while not diminishing the lyrics. Playing to the popular schematic style of the day seems to have created a buzz for the band from New York.
With this song, my interest is picqued and I will be interested in what’s to come. For now, check out Hurricane and let me know what you think on Twitter.
