This song is light and breezy is the opposite of Eleanor’s personality, which we observed first-hand at a show the other night. She’s kind of bitchy. Anyways, I like the part where she commits all of the sins.

Suuns - Arena.

Its got driving beats, guitar slashes, arpeggio keyboards, and whispered vocals.

Dark but dance-y.

Sleigh Bells - Comeback Kid

Yes please! But really, who goes grocery shopping with their guitar?

The Naked and Famous No Way - this band reminds me of Passion Pit in a big way, except that their vocalists aren’t as whiny. Win.

Plus their video is like a wedding gone all crazy with Yakuza gang members from different centuries blowing shit up. Dan and Mir are gonna have a hard time topping this.

Bi-winning in my books.

Pretty happy about getting my hands on the new Girls and War on Drugs albums this week. I’ve been playing Broken Dreams Club at an unhealthy rate over the last year (to the point that Heartbreaker is comfortably topping my iTunes most played list - followed by the other 5 tracks) after a couple of listens of Father, Son, Holy Ghost there is a fair chance i’ll do the same with this one. Although I’m not sure about the metal riff on track 3 ‘Die’.

Josh

Van city, circa 1995…grunge and plaid are where it’s at (actually plaid never leaves, does it?).

Local band, Mystery Machine, gets a spin once in a blue moon when I want to revisit the past. Enjoi.
