January 11th, 2012

1."Simple Song"- The Shins:

I can imagine there's a new album in the mix from The Shins. This is certainly the first I've heard from them in a while. Strangely upbeat for The Shins; I'm assuming it's part of a new direction but there's still traces of the older stuff.



2."Please Be My Third Eye"- La Sera:

A little indie pop with a rock rhythm.  It's always nice to find a nice female vocalist too.
Here ya go. snag this one via Stereogum


3." Another Bed"- The Twilight Sad:

Okay so this is like the british invasion 80s type music but it isn't because it's Scottish. The Scottish accent certainly makes the already dreamy song much dreamier.



4." I'm Gonna Try (Demo)"- Shimmering Stars:

Okay this is like the beach boys on indie steroids. You can hear a total 50s style beat in this song but it has a unique and modern kind of twist. I like it. Watch out for these guys.


5."Not Too Late"- The New Assembly:

It starts of sounding like a club song and then ends up sounding more like a pop song but it still has that chill ambient sound. Also great softish male vocals.
