1."Scottish Winds"- Frightened Rabbit:

Such charming accents in this song. It's certainly not the only good part of this song but it enhances it. If you shut your eyes and listen to this song, then picture everything in the song it's pretty cool. So vivid.

Frightened Rabbit is giving away their EP for free on their website click here to get it.  It's on the side.

2." Spectrum"-Florence+ The Machine:

A new song from her upcoming album Ceremonials (should be out in November). This song is fast paced and really showcases Flo's voice.

3."Nuclear Seasons"- Charli XCX:

This song is kind of pop/indie. It has great vocals and a cool clap beat.

Download here

4."Paradise Circus"- Massive Attack x Burial:

This is another track from a special 12" that these two groups did together. It's already sold out. It sold out almost immediately after the announcement. This song (Like "Four Walls") is also 12 minutes long.

5."Don't Be Surprised"- Twerps:

This group is from Australia and they deliver melodic guitar and really good lyrics. The vocals have a famillar sounding voice but I can't really put my finger on who they sound like.

1." Flagstaff"- Atlas Sound:

I feel like I keep posting new Atlas Sound. I think it's because their new album is out soon and they keep slloowwllyyy releasing new singles from it. Here's another good one.

2." Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me (UNKLE Remix)"- Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds:

Not to double up on the Stereogum highlights here but this song is a mix of two of my favorite musical talents. It's such a cool remix and I have loved everything that I've heard from Noel's new stuff so far.

Listen here via Stereogum

3." Antique Love"- Built Like Alaska:

A really pretty melody and pretty vocals. It reminds me a bit of Death Cab.

Download here (click on link and save as mp3)

4." Pharaoh"- Western Haunts:

Really cool unique sounding electronic indie. This song is really neat. It has a whole new electronic sound and a really pretty album cover to boot.

5."Cat and Mouse"- Sacred Animals vs Owensie:

This song is awesome. It has a Massive Attack kind of sound to it and the vocals and lyrics are great too. This was one of those great music searching surprises.

1."Weight Of The World (Under Construction Mix)"- The Explorers Club:

This song has that 50s harmony sound to it. The remix adds a nice touch.

2."Mexico"- Satellite Stories:

I liked this song with in two seconds of hearing it. It has a jump up and jump beat and amazing vocals too. This song is so much fun.

Download here (right click link and save as mp3)

3."90s Kids"- Oh No! Yoko:

This song is also so fun and it's one I can relate to. The beat is fantastic.

Download here (sorry the share link isn't working)

4." Before I Go Away"- Kites With Lights:

Really cool shoegaze- kind of electronic music. The intro drags on a bit but wait to hear the vocals it's worth it.

5."Adios Noviembre"-Hey Chica!:

Sorry I don't have the accent for Adios but this song is crazy. It starts out sounding like your typical American indie song and then boop it goes into Spanish. (I mean given the title it would have kind have been expected) Hey Chica! is from Guadalajara, check them out!

1."Moon Killer"- Small Black:

This song is so cool. It's dreamy AND high energy and there's something about the vocals that blow me away.

Download here (Via Stereogum)

2." Hurts Like Heaven"- Coldplay:

New off of the album Mylo Xyloto. Coldplay goes a little more electronic than their old stuff. I can't say I like it as much as the old Coldplay but it's still good.

Download here

3." A Love That Kills"- Psychic Dancehall:

This song is almost trippy with a deep voice (deep as in the way it sounds but i suppose the lyrics are deep as well)

4."Sunburn"- Jago Thorne:

Here's a voice to shake hearts. It's full of emotion and is pretty darn sexy. This is a group to look out for and look out for a new album from Jago Thorne sometime this month!

5."Black Saturday"- Girls Names:

A new one from Girls Names. It's cheery with a nice progressive guitar riff. The lyrics have the sort of dreamy fading feeling.

1."Oblivion"-Grimes:

This song is quirky. It has high pitched vocals and a funky synth. It's pretty unique as well. It brings something else to the musical table.

Download here via Stereogum

2."Friends of Friends"- The Beets:

Oh what a clever band name. This song packs a wicked indie rock punch. It's bold and strong.

Download here (also via Stereogum)

3." While We're Young"- Inspired And The Sleep:

There are a lot of different sounds going on in this song but my favorite thing in the entire song is the guitar riff. It's subtle but it's there.. for most of the song. Listen closely, you'll hear it.

4."Before The Desert Night Was Cold"- In A Wild Deep:

Soft and folky with lovely lovely lyrics and vocals.

5."Flutterby"- Starlight Girls:

This song is jazzy which is adventurous for me but It's cool. I like the beat and also the vocals. There's soul.

1."Make Your Move"- Florida Room:

Gah. Speechless. This song is fantastic. Indie/ alternative. Mellow and upbeat. It's wonderful. You must listen to it.

2."Newlands"- Justice:

Think back to D.A.N.C.E. if you know the song. You can kind of tell it's the same band but it sounds fresher. I love it.

Download here

3."Entrance Song (Rain Dance Version)"-The Black Angels:

So unfortunately I could only find a direct download link to the original version of this song but if you get a moment look at the "Rain Dance Version". The Black Angels have a new EP out and that's on it. The EP is called Phosgene Nightmare.

Download Original version here

4." Over-Mind"- Cosmic Sound Child:

Hmm anyone else automatically think 60s after seeing the title? If so you are in quite good company I'm sure. And to add to that thought Cosmic Sound Child is considered "psychedelic rock". See what you think.

5."Bird Song"- Uncle Lady:

Yes the bird song does have the sound of actual birds in it. It's folky and has beautiful vocals. Not to mention it's off of an EP called Pamplemousse which is one of the best french words ever meaning grapefruit.

1." Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But..."- Arctic Monkeys:

Yes. This is an old song and yes many many people know and love this song but today I'm posting it because I'm missing a chance to go backstage tonight and see the Arctic Monkeys play. I'm quite bummed about it so I'm honoring them by posting this song.

Download here

2." I Don't Believe In Love"- We Are Trees:

This song seems to have a little 90s rock left in it. It has that heavy guitar riff that makes up an alternative rock song. It also has great vocals.

We Are Trees - I Don't Believe in Love by gooseroa

3."How It Rains Here"- Three Fields:

This is such a soothing song. It's instrumental (which I don't normally go for) but if I ever go massages this would be something I wouldn't mind hearing in the background.

Download here

4." Trouble"- Lotus Feed:

I love pretty much everything about this. The name, the artist name, the vocals and the music. Some of the guitar riffs sound like Nirvana.

5."Passion Seekers"- Little Tybee:

Wanna get away? Listen to this song. It sounds kind of islandy with beautiful melodic vocals. A good remedy for the cool fall weather.
