Radio
The National - Don't swallow the cap
Likely the most up-tempo single we've ever heard from The National.
The Vaccines - Melody Calling
Conjecture: The Vaccines are forced to write more downtuned material due to singer's Justin Young's voice issues. Doesn't bother me if it's as good as this song.
Chvrches - Gun
The Scottish elektro-pop trio with yet another solid gold single.
Breach - Jack
Let's not kid ourselves here: I know for a fact you've sang along to this at least a couple of times.
Chris Malinchak - So Good To Me
I'd probably go for this if you'd ask me to pick 'the ultimate 2013 summer song'.
Delv!s - Tell me
Only realizing that a track is by a Belgian artist after hearing it about ten times, that's one of the biggest compliments you can get.
Deap Vally - Bad for my body
Watched a fun live streamed set by these gals from some summer festival.
Icona Pop - Girlfriend
Icona Pop borrowing a chorus that Jay-Z borrowed from Tupac. And who knows where he got the idea, right? I feel like this ultimate female BFF party anthem isn't getting enough love. In my world, this is a smash hit record.
Disclosure - You And Me Ft Eliza Doolittle
This Disclosure track has a distinct nineties garage feel.
Lorde - Tennis courts
The Lana Del Rey influence shines through on a thematical level and in the phrasing of the lyrics.
Other
Daughter - Youth/Landfill
Elena Tonra's acoustic efforts sport a distinct 'take no prisoners, shoot straight to the heart'-approach. Beautiful. "This is dangerous/I want you so much, but I hate your guts/I hate you".
Poliça - Chain my name/The maker
I've been into Poliça's atmospheric tunes lately. "The maker" is a stunning track of their "Give you the ghost"-album. And "Chain my name' is a definite winner from their upcoming new album. "So are we made/ Just to fight/ All of our lives"
Little Dragon - Shuffle a dream
Listening to Poliça reminded me of this Swedish outfit. This is a track off their "Ritual Union" album.
Alt-J - Breezeblocks
Already a modern classic with a music video that's worth watching.
The Smiths - This night has opened my eyes
"I'm not happy and I'm not sad". Yup, this must be the Mozzer! Check out this relaxed track from the "Hatful of hollow"-album.
Tegan And Sara - Closer
I saw the video where Taylor Swift invited Tegan and Sara on-stage to perform this track, and was left to ponder "Why hasn't this been a worldwide hit?"
Aluna George - You know you like it/Your drum, your love
Killer legs! There, I said it. The musical side of AlunaGeorge is also alluring. Good stuff!
