My new favourite song

Strand of Oaks – Rest of It

After “Radio Kids”, it’s the second single off the new album from the Philadelphia outfit. And it’s a REAL burner. Turn it up LOUD!!!

Am very curious how the album will sound as a whole, available on February 17!

My new favourite song(s)

Kevin Morby – Dorothy

Though released earlier this year, I just stumbled over this track this week. Feels a bit like Adam is back in the house…. awesome!

…and another terrific one:

Allsion Cruchfield – Dean’s Room

…ha, feel the Cure-keys? Infectious!

Hope Sandoval – Let me get there (feat. Kurt Vile)

The utterly gorgeous voice of Hope Sandoval is back. Awesome pairing with Kurt Vile on “Let me get there”.

Remember Primavera 16

Yes, we really saw this song 3 times at this year’s Primavera… But it’s a nice one, right?

Cass McCombs – “Opposite House” (formerly known to insiders as “Why?”….)

Now, with the forthcoming release of his new EP, Day Wave is poised for an even bigger 2016. For fans of The Field Mice and New Order.
