the rain - alessi’s ark

if you are an Emiliana Torrini fan - or of gorgeously produced indie-folk fronted by an incredible voice, in general - you should be listening to the new Alessi’s Ark album The Still Life.

Maritime | Parade of Punk Rock T-Shirts

So I can stop running and the air can hum
The busy sister’s stunning, won’t she be stunned
By the infinite parade of punk rock t-shirts on
When you can’t break through
With the one that you want

This indie-pop classic from Maritime is back on Rdio!

Afraid Of Heights- Wavves

I think I’m dying, maybe I’m thirsty. I think I must be drunk. Woke up and found Jesus. I’ll always be on my own, fucked and alone.

So, I don’t usually like Wavves but the new album is actually super super good. The cleaner production and songwriting serves it well - and it’s mega catchy.

“So use simple expressions to explain what you can / ‘cause you’ll never be able to see past your hand.”

Good Luck - “Contact” off Without Hesitation (2011).

I’ve probably posted this song a million times but it’s incredible. the places it gets to.

Someone Still Loves You Borris Yeltsin - Sink/Let It Sway

I’m convinced this song holds the secrets to the solutions of all of life’s problems.

And my mother once said
“Son, remember this, no matter what someone did:
that they once were just a kid at breast and in bib,
in blanket and crib.
So just reach inside yourself
and find the part that still needs help,
find that part in someone else
and you’ll do good,”
so I thought that I would.
