Febrary 2016

Here are my favourite tracks and the prettiest videos.

Indie folk from Calgary. If you’re not familiar with the band, there’s a lot of catching up to do. Their first album Songbook is from 2006. And it’s good by the way.
1. WoodpigeonFaithful

 
2. PorchesMood
One of my favourites this month. Love the sound. Listen to the acoustic version as well, on soundcloud.

 
3. Pop EtcPlease don’t forget me
Formerly known as the Morning Benders. In this shape they hit a perfect melodic nerve.

 

 

4. EXECExplanatory Gap
Antony And The Johnsons would be proud… or envious. Emotional piano ballads from Denmark.

 
5. Plume Of FeathersFirst date
Now we’re making the whole of old indie-England proud. Love this. Listen to ”Anders from Iceland” and ”The Bar from the halt” as well.

 

 

6. FoxesAmazing
Saw her on Provinssi Festival last summer. She was great. Pure pop!

 

 

7. Sivert HoyemSleepwalking man
The Norwegian maestros album Lioness is out now.

 

 

8. Virgin SuicidesVirgin Suicides
Step inside the indie pop time machine, and step out in Denmark!

 

 

9. Anders Enda BarnetI was quiet back then
If you remember swedish The Plan and Moneybrother. Here’s the backwash, the diamond from the ashes or whatever. Swedish west coast pop.

 
10. High HighesCascades
Aussie melodic pop trio

 

 

11. Idiot GleeEvergreen psycho
James Friley solo project.

 
12. Junior BoysOver it
Yes! New Juior Boys album is here. Big black coat. This track and ”Baby give up on it” are worth while.

 
13. Tear ConcilMy Car
Watch a collage of cool cars from classic movies.

 

 

14. Field MusicThe Noisy days are over
Avant-garde pop from Sunderland.

 

 

15. The LemonsJJ’s house
So charming. Here’s their own story; ”Five or eight friends who have nothing better to do than eat healthy foods and have healthy conversations and then sing a bunch of gibberish until they fall down laughing.”

Well that’s it! Take time to enjoy!
