chvrches // recover (cid rim remix)

Some songs are instant besties…

CHVRCHES is an electronic pop trio from Glasgow, Scotland and the music combines the haunting and ethereal qualities with the sparkling vitality of contemporary pop. It works wondrously and the “Recover (Cid Rim Remix),” has me all wrapped up in its arms and I don’t want to go anywhere. Is it me or is Lauren Mayberry’s vocals dangerously addictive? Peace.

anna lena & the orchids // view my sanity

I knew an angel once and when she opened her mouth…

When describing the wonderfully supernal music created by Anna Lena & The Orchids it is easy to feel like you’re listening to an old friend. And to further the music as friend analogy, suffice to say this friend is a good one and the possessor of many secrets. Anna Lena is indeed faithful to the music, laying out her vocal arrangements like fine linen. Even the instrumentation shimmers with a practiced sort of perfection which sounds natural and unforced. Little doubt, AL & TO craft songs laid bare of pretense and strung with all the tones and timbres of a magical wooded mountain glade. Listen to View My Sanity and Miss Audrie, and feel an immediate intimacy and familiarity. Anna Lena & the Orchids will release a self-titled four-track EP on March 8th 2013 and you can pre-order it via Rough Trade. Peace. Continue reading “anna lena & the orchids // view my sanity”

Don’t worry your body will respond appropriately just click play…

I’ve been a fan of Phantogram (Sarah Barthel & Josh Carter) for quite some time now and although currently the band is writing and recording for their next as yet untitled album that doesn’t exclude my ears from listening to past gems. I offer you “As Far As I Can See,” from their debut release ‘eyelid movies’ (2009) for your aural consumption. I’ve a feeling you’ll be dancing to this one more than once tonight. Peace. Continue reading “phantogram // as far as i can see”
