The Saratoga Springs duo recently released their album Eyelid Movies on Barsuk Records, home of Death Cab for Cutie, Rilo Kiley, Mates of State and Nada Surf. This new "street beat, psyche pop" band are sure to make headlines this year and breakthrough in big ways.
Phantogram- Mouthful Of Diamonds
Originally called the Muslims, The Soft Pack are what I imagine Vampire Weekend sounding like had Ezra and co. been influenced by The Beach Boys instead of Paul Simon. I'm a big Vampire Weekend fan (as evident by earlier posts), and after a recommendation from Greyscale, I was hooked.
The Soft Pack- C'mon
3. The Clash- London Calling
A classic album that I have been listening to constantly lately. The Clash have influenced everyone from Green Day to MIA (yes, that catchy hook at the beginning of "Paper Planes" is a Clash sample). 30 years after this groundbreaking album came out, it is still influencing everyone.
The Clash- Hateful
A friend of mine sent me the link to her yesterday because she thought I would like it. She was right. She's a French girl playing songs on her ukulele. What's not to like? This is her version of Lykke Li's 'Little Bit.'
Scampi- Little Bit (Lykke Li cover)
A bit of a throwback, BYOB disbanded in 2008, but it wasn't until a few months ago I discovered what I'd been missing. Really punky and really good. They are what Paramore wishes they could be, and more.
Be Your Own Pet - Adventure
