Mount Eerie///Through The Trees pt. 2 There is no need to go into detail about how brilliant Phil Elverum really is. So let's pretend he's a normal guy who likes to sing and mess around with instruments and you're listening to him for the first time. "Mount Eerie" encompasses what you should expect from the band, and then some. Their most recent release, Clear Moon- released in May of 2012, is yet another accomplishment and favorite of mine. I will always make it a point to listen and comprehend lyrics before paying attention to the music itself (probably not good advice) because not every song you listen to will grab your attention, but if given a chance, will romance you with it's true substance.  Now listen. Are you blown away or are you blown away?  (Note: If you can't listen to this via Spotify, you can find it on Youtube)

Dirty Beaches///Lord Knows Best

Alex Zhang Hungtai, also known as Dirty Beaches, is an excellent example of how nostalgia should feel and sound in music released in the last -er- 15 years. You may know Dirty Beaches by a previous single, Sweet 17, which also begs for attention through it's bad-boy-punk-gone-romantic low-fi vibes... we may go as far as throwing in some beachy undertones. It's a melting pot of the things i love. I should also note that he is a dash more than handsome, and that always helps. Oof.

Grimes///Rosa Grimes is a common name in this household (yes, a blog counts as a household), so take a listen to the track Rosa off her 2010 tape, Geidi Primes. The whole album is dance-able, but this track in particular sounds like how being awake for 24 hours feels. There's always a peak of delusion before you're suddenly down the for count.

Van She///Jamaica Alright, so i think i have an explanation for liking this song. The truth of the matter is that i don't know and that's the only commentary that i have to offer. So with that said, shut up and listen to it.

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson///Woodfriend Roll those windows down and rewind a couple of years (or four) and jam to this fantastic track by Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson from his self titled album, released in 2008. It's summer, no matter the year.
