Julia Stone - Bloodbuzz Ohio (National Cover)
With her sultry Australian accent, Julia whispers out a great cover of a great song.
The Temper Trap - Trembling Hands
From the new self titled album, due out June 5th.
Brilliant, just like everything else they put out.
Xavier Rudd - Messages
It’s not often that I put my ipod, Blue II, on Shuffle. I really don’t care for the feature, but when you have a lot of music, sometimes songs tend to get lost and forgotten. This, sadly was the case for this beautiful song.
If you haven’t had the chance to listen to much of Xavier aka 2007’s Sexiest Vegetarian, then you should really change that. The multi instrumentalisthas some mind blowingly good songs, stands up for a lot of good causes annnnd eats his veggies apparently. Ha.
The Griswolds - Mississippi
The latest from this newish band from Australia, and I gotta say,….I fucking love it. I’ve hit repeat like fifty times in the last half hour, it’s so good. Ok, that isn’t possible, but this is quite possibly the best song I have had the privilege of listening to in a bit.
I think you’ll agree, and especially if you like bands like Mgmt, Vampire weekend, Foster the People, Yeasayer, etc, etc, blah blah blah. Just listen to it.
Angus Stone - Broken Brights
Yes, this is the same Angus from Angus and Julia Stone, and yes it is amazing. Mellow, chill, floaty semi-acoustic sounding single from the yet to be forthcoming, new solo album.
For fans of: Angus and Julia Stone(Obviously, haha), Iron and Wine, Acoustic, William Fitzsimmons.
Mp3: Angus Stone - Broken Brights
P.S. Julia Stone also has a new solo album coming out, and you can hear a bit of it over HERE.
Wintercoats - Delicate Position (Feat. Sea Oleena)
Do you ever hear a band for the first time, and just knowwww they are going to be a favorite, or hear them and just fall in love with them instantly?
Wintercoats did that to me.
The opening to this song, reminds me a lot of an Andrew Bird song,…the strings and all…….. There are other similarities too. For instance, Wintercoats is basically, James Wallace. He records all his own instruments of which include; glockenspiel, violin, guitar and piano. The sometimes haunting combination of instrumentation and vocals keep me hitting the replay button over and over.
Do yourself a favor and check this band out.
A free Ep is available over on their Myspace page.
Architecture in Helsinki - Escapee
New song from AIH from their forthcoming album, Moment Bends, out May 3rd, and like Contact High it’s another summery pop gem.
Something tells me this album will be getting a lot of airplay this summer.
Thanks to fixdarling for the heads up.
Angus and Julia Stone - Big Jet Plane(Michael Brun Bootleg)
The Stone siblings hardly need anything added or changed or tweaked on any of their songs that I have heard. This however is a pretty awesome and peppy remix, taken and shaken up a bit by Haitian mix master Michael Brun.
Listen. Love. Download. Do whatever. I am going to have some vodka now.

Fanfarlo - Atlas(official Video)
A song from the Twilight series,..blah, whatever,….If you haven’t taken the time to further look into this band or have never heard of Fanfarlo, visit their site(s) and listen. They are an amazing newish band, and i can honestly say i haven’t heard one song from them that i dislike.
This is a cool/interesting video the band shot themselves while touring in Australia.
You can get a free Ep HERE , and download a pretty damn good song below.
So, i have been digging these guys for a while now……Papa vs Pretty that is, and apparently they’re super young,…from Australia and kick major musical ass.
Listen and love.
