Mimicking Birds - Bloodlines Haven't posted in a while, but this song has stuck with me the last couple weeks. Great lyrics. "Cause I am a creature of mixed up energies"

[thisisthenoise]

Together Pangea - Offer

Head bobbing, foot tapping. I like the gritty vocals.

[thisisthenoise]

Hozier - From Eden

Soulful. 

[thisisthenoise]

Jack White - High Ball Stepper

This taste from the new record absolutely rocks.  Instrumental, but doesn't matter....he has one of those sounds that you just know it's Jack White.

Manchester Orchestra - The Ocean

Play this one loud. The new album is great. 

[thisisthenoise]

Lykke Li - No Rest For The Wicked

Really like this new track. I especially love the build up to the huge chorus.

John Wizards - Muizenberg

The beat is an automatic head nodder.

[thisisthenoise]

Nai Harvest - Rush

This song has a kindof 90-ish rock sound with great melodies. I listened to it about 5 times in a row when I first heard it. Always a great sign of a good song!  

The rest of the EP is here:

Courtney Barnett - History Eraser

This song is a jam. Love the lyrics

"I got drunk and fell asleep atop the sheets but luckily I left the heater on.

And in my dreams I wrote the best song that I’ve ever written…can’t remember how it goes.

I stayed drunk and fell awake and I was cycling on a plane                     and far away I heard you say you liked me.

We drifted to a party – cool. The people went to arty school. They made their paints by mixing acid wash and lemonade.

In my brain I re-arrange the letters on the page to spell your name"
