Late Night Inquiries

Normally, I only like to share new things, but this time I wanted to bring the attention back to someone I was obsessed with last year. Lately she's been gaining publicity like crazy (I've been seeing her on wearehunted.com and all sorts of other things).

Ellie Goulding.
Is incredible.

Personally, I will never get over my obsession for her song Starry Eyed. It's very choppy, but I think that's why I love it so much, because really, I fawn over things which flow only because they fall a part (if that makes sense). Anyways, it's a gorgeous song to dance to and nothing is better than that.

On another note, I've also been extremely impressed with the Morning Benders new album, The Big Echo. I think the music for this album is exactly like the album cover, going to the beach. I feel like it could almost be the soundtrack for a roadtrip to the shore, and not a beach like the jersey shore, more like the beaches in Washington and Oregon. Dunes, rocks and islands jutting out of the water in the distance, long stretches of sand with no one to be seen. It's serene, yet wild and untamed. Songs on this album can be put to you driving to the beach, dancing with your friends, sitting in front of the fire, it's basically a movie soundtrack in my opinion (but I also have an overly romantic sense of imagination, referring to romanticism of course). Basically, I love this album, love love love.

Tu parles de quoi?

Lately, I've been feeling terribly and exhaustingly restless. Causing me to go in to throws of creativity and endless searching for something to fill the gap.

But, seriously. For once in my life I decided to do something practical and major in Business. Wrong idea, since as I should have known, I'm really not a practical person, nor am I whimsical. I don't know how to classify myself yet, but I do know that I enjoy stumbling upon musical gems.

New obsessions? Two Door Cinema Club

I could go into detail and get all pitchfork-esque, but that's really not on my agenda for tonight. I just wanted to put up some up beat and danceable music. Personally, I think these dudes sound a lot like Phoenix's latest album with a slight spice of Vampire Weekend's first album, but not really sure. But whatevs, their full album just came out on March 1st (oh so exciting) and I can't wait to get it. Pretty sure it's not even out on US Itunes just the UK, (just like how Delphic was, which is total cock and bull by the ways).

Anyways, Irish men are hot, thus making this band hot. BLAM...now listen

My Love

This song, My Love by Jihae, was exactly what I was looking for today, calm, soothing, and enchanting. Her voice is absolutely incredible, if pouring rich melted chocolate could be a sound, this would be it. My Love is off of her new LP Fire Burning Rain which will be out this upcoming July.

Her stuff is great for those times where you just kind of feel like getting away from everything and everyone. It's easy to float away to the sound of her voice, and I'm more than willing to escape reality for a little bit.

So here's three of her songs:

My Love

Best Thing

Simple Man

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
