Seeing that the summer is just about coming to a close (with Labor Day less than a week away), I thought it would be appropriate to spend a few days reminiscing on some of artists/songs/albums that have kept me company over the past few months.
Without a doubt, Two Door Cinema Club’s Tourist History has been one of my most frequently repeated albums of the summer. Although they were first introduced on PFW in the Spring, their record only seemed to become more and more appropriate as the weather got warmer. If you haven’t taken the time to give this Northern Ireland trio a chance yet, I urge you to do so now!
I discovered Ghostwaves earlier this week via a free download of their debut EP (STAYWAVY) on fellow tumblr member (theunfound)’s tumblelog. Needless to say, I instantly fell in love.
An album doesn’t need to be groundbreaking to be a solid effort. Kangataran brings commonly beloved instrumentation to a familiar genre, and does so with enough grace and quiet expertise that the final product is wholly charming.
It’s no secret I’ve been on a Spirit Animal kick. After getting to know Steve a bit when we talked earlier this month, I developed a deeper appreciation for a record I really liked to begin with. I was curious to see how they pulled it off live and if this teasing little video is any indication, than this stuff makes for a killer show. I love the “Ants” portion toward the middle.
Consider yourself a music elitist and too embarrassed to admit that you enjoy pop music? Then start listening to Dinosaur Feathers, and get the best of both worlds.
