Organic like the Sea

Candy Claws is one of my new obsessions, they created this album so that every song flows into one another to portray a feeling of serenity and embody the sounds and feelings of the ocean.  These kids are from Colorado (surprisingly, not much has been coming from there lately), which kind of fits since their sound it's so organic and ecclectic.  Anyways, I'm in love with this song Lantern Fish, it kind of makes my heart melt.

Russian Roulette

We are awkward russians. We decided to interfere in everyday college life and make things just a little more eastern european. I think we succeeded.
Please listen to this song as you observe:

Old News, New Excitement

I know that urrrveryone prob knows about this already, but I am just so fucking psyched that it hurts, and if you don't I'll fill you in.  Vampire Weekend released a new song, Horchata, and this upcoming January they will have a new full-length-soph album out for all of mankind to enjoy.  LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN

This song makes me so happy that it kind of hurts, which is just sick, but in a good way, like a mad beast kind of way....can't wait til Jan for the revamped VW....


Legit

Deerhunter...what a grand band.  But what about break off solo ish Atlas Sound?

Two words:
Mad Legit

I am extremely satisfied with Logos, I'm normally a bit skeptical of break off ish but this was a success (and frankly, how could it not be? It's fucking Bradford Cox).  This album def has a different sound from Deerhunter, it's a bit more electronic and eclectic noise.  The songs have a sense of otherworldliness to them as rando sounds drift in and out of the soft wallowing of Cox's voice.

Personally, my fave song is Walkabout.  It's a bit more poppy and upbeat then the other songs, which is just what I've been needing these days.

RIP PARRY

PreLoved and Fall

Yes, I love thrifting.

Yes, I hate spending money.

But, I would most def spend on Preloved.  
Preloved is a little store with a big name on St. Laurent up in the plat.  They sell clothes made out of recycled clothing.  Vests are made out of old menswear pants, jackets out of skirts, skirts out of shirts, and the list goes on...They all have one thing in common, every single piece of clothing is absolutely adorable.  The prices are steep, with sweaters going over the 100 dolla bar, and my supah cute mittens were 22.  But once you put this one of a kind clothing on, everything seems incredibly better, not to mention incredibly cuter.
Also, new fave band of the day/week= Built to Spill...just came out with a new album (There is No Enemy), but I recommend listening to their earlier stuff too! Too bad they aren't coming to Montreal, but they are going to Seattle (of course I won't be there...oh well).
