TheFreshness

A bunch of music that you'll "kinda like", a lot of pictures which are "okay", and some random thoughts that just make you think for about three seconds. ENJOY!

The 1975 - Chocolate

100% percent convinced this song is going to be all over the US radio very very soon.

Matrimony - Obey Your Guns

Great unknown song

[thefreshnesss]

Grouplove - Ways to GO

If I saw a girl dancing like this in a club I would instantly fall in love

[thefreshnesss]

The Movement - Set Sail

Awesomly upbeat reggae song.  I love this song for summer!!

Frightened Rabbits - The Woodpile

This was, in my opinion, the best song from the best release of 2012.  The whole album is incredible. It contains catchy, sing along anthemic choruses and lyrics which display amazing depth.  

Bereft of all social charms Struck dumb by the hand of fear I fall into the corner’s arms The same way that I’ve done for years

  To anyone who has ever sat in a corner in a club or other gathering and waited for osmeone to talk to you, you'll probably get it.

Here’s CHVRCHES’ single from February, Recover.

This is one of our favorite tracks this year. If you like well-crafted, thoughtful dance pop, enjoy! There’s a music video as well.

This song is great.  I remember I posted their song back in September and said they were going to blow up.  CALLED IT.

Feneche-Soler Magnetic

I can't think of a better description than the first comment on youtube: "It's like if 'We Found Love' and 'Somebody That I Used to Know' had a baby."

  Hat's off to you random youtube commentator.

Magic Man - Texas

Incredibly catchy indie-dance type tune.  For me sounds like a mix of Passion Pit + Two Door Cinema club. Or something like that.

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - Holy Roller

One of those songs that I have a nagging suspicion is going to get picked up for a car commercial and blow up from there.

The Front Bottoms - Twin Sized Mattress

New Jersey music.  The voice of the lead singer may remind you of Blink 182 or other similar bands, which either you like or you don't.  I will say that this band has some of the best lyrics I've heard in a long time and puts on a very kick ass live show.  My favorite line from the breakdown:

"I wanna contribute to the chaos

I dont wanna watch, and then complain

Cuz I am through finding blame

That is a decision I have made"

Mother Mother - Bit by Bit

Great song from Canadian band Mother Mother.  It reminds me a lot of last year's Grouplove song that was all over the radio.  

[thefreshnesss]

Cold War Kids - Bottled Affection

[thefreshnesss]

Seidenmatt - Extra Pitch Over the Cliff

  As a huge fan of post rock, this song is awesome.  Subtle guitar work make a hugely pleasant blend of sounds.  Subdued and never loud, but still has a great payoff.

[thefreshnesss]

The Shouting Matches - Seven Sisters

  The side project of Bon Iver's front man Justin Vernon, the Shouting Matches showcase a different completely different vocal styling than fans may be used to.  Falsetto is replaced with deeper growl, showing off  Vernon's impressive range and talent.  Lovers of 70's rock may find quite a bit to like in this song.

DAFT PUNK FT. PANDA BEAR - Doin' it Right

  From their highly anticipated new album!  I'm sharing this with everyone I know, so excited that Daft Punk is back!

[thefreshnesss]

The Static Jacks - Mercy Hallelulah

A kinda nice sound indie type song.

[thefreshnesss]

Twenty one pilots - Guns for Hands

Very rarely you have that band which seems to effortlessly combine different genres into a cohesive package.  This song does that and more, resulting in a perfect kind of mashup - catchy enough to appeal to fans of all those genres.  Definitely worth checking out this bands other stuff as well, they really make some interesting and dynamic music.
