Artist: Oberhofer
Song: Away Frm U
Album: Time Capsules II

Wow, I’m so excited Oberhofer FINALLY released a full length album, I haven’t heard much from those guys since they released their first singles back in 08;/09. Time Capsules II has definitely stepped out of their minor low-fi stage and definitely polished up. It’s just weird because those small changes kind of shifted the tracks entirely, and to be honest, I liked it better how it was before. Maybe it’s because that’s how I fell in love with them, but I guess change can be good too. The album is still great, by the way, if you haven’t heard it already!

This is now I originally remember them. Notice how those small alterations make a huge difference.

Artist: Caught A Ghost
Song: Sleeping at Night
Album: Caught A Ghost

Last night I attended my first residency as of being 21. I went to The Satellite to catch Caught A Ghost’s last day of their residency and wow, I was pretty blown away by the overall experience. Even the smallest thought and effort just to make that little statement goes a long way. They had decorations up of little ghost lamps and Christmas lights. There were tarot card readers and a sword swallower. Then during their performance, the room was filled with white balloons while dancers in, I believe were white trash bags, avant-garde-ly moved to their music. I was really enjoying it all, because really, no one or no band thinks to go that extra small distance. Man, I really wish I brought my camera so I could show you all, but womp. I’ll try to be better prepared next time.

Artist: Emily Wolfe
Song: Lion Heart
Album: Director’s Notes

Debuting from Austin, Texas is Emily Wolfe with her indie-folk-pop (yes, it deserves all three genres) album, Director’s Notes. Lion Heart is a sweet tune with lyrics about young love, can’t wait for the rest.

Artist: Kindness
Song: House
Album: World, You Need a Change of Mind

Seriously, much appreciation for this artist, Kindness, and a lot of it comes from the video provided below. It’s a smooth track with simple but profound beauty.

This awesome video features Kindness’s Adam Bainbridge with his philosophy of his music world, and his steps for composing House. Please watch it, you must!

Artist: Superhumanoids
Song: Too Young For Love

New Superhumanoids is always a must share and it definitely becomes a surprise each time to what they’re going to present. With their previous single, Geri (check it out here), already floating around graciously on the interweb, their newest single, Too Young For Love, is sure to spread around just as fast. Still upbeat and synth-infused, this track seems a little different from the rest with its pop-inspired vocals that seem to reminisce 90s-esque RnB-pop songs.

Artist: Founds
Song: Avalanches

Even though this track is pretty similar to a lot of female vocalists, it’s still worth giving a listen to! You won’t regret it, I promise. Hailing from Australia, Brisbane’s Founds’ sound waves have traveled across the oceans to grace our ears here in the US. And although the summer is approaching, Avalanches’ mesmerizing vocals carry you along an imaginative journey through snowy fields and mountains.

Artist: The Pale Corners
Song: REM

Wow, when I first heard this song in my email’s inbox, I was surprised to see how closely it resembled The Mary Onettes, not so much the vocals, but definitely the melody and the tunes itself. Then, as I kept reading the email, I find out that it is mixed by Philip Ekström from The Mary Onettes, of course, right? Anyways, REM is a dreamy track, complete with 80’s inspired vocal melodies and stringy guitar strums that I’m sure you will enjoy.

Artist: Teen Daze
Song: What You Feel

Teen Daze tracks emit that specific quality that let you know it’s composed by Teen Daze. This B-side of All of Us, Together has a strong groovy influence laid upon it, but still contains those distinguishable characteristics.

Teen Daze is finally coming to LA next month! They have a show at The Virgil on Tuesday, June 5th with The One AM Radio, Giraffage, and Slow Magic

Artist: Lucius
Song: Don’t Just Sit There
Album: Lucius

Brooklyn’s Lucius’s infectious track, Don’t Just Sit There, has gotten its poison all over my musical taste buds. Its simple tune and lush vocals create this strong and powerful impact. Don’t be embarrassed if you catch yourself replaying this song again and again!
