New Music Tuesday Review for 2015-02-03

This list was really hard to whittle down for some reason. I think initially I was worried that I wouldn't have enough songs. If I don't love the song, I shouldn't put it on here though so this list is a little on the light side. On to the list!

Hurricane by MisterWives

Nice positive anthemic song about defiantly being yourself and thinking for yourself:

"We are not your property

See with our own clarity

Ears close, eyes open, voice won't be broken

Won't dance within your walls"

Now and Again by Tor Miller

Really great chill song. I love the piano part and the chorus is nice and full.

I'm Good by The Mowgli's

Another really positive anthem this week. Maybe the lyrics are a little sugary but it just makes me happy listening to it.

Hypernight by Title Fight

A great atmospheric rock song that is technically very interesting with an awesome bass line. One of our favorite bands, Merchandise, is opening for them next month so it will be good to get a first hand impression of them.

I'll Make Time for You by Kristin Diable

I love the old school sound on this track complete with the electric organ and echo-y vocals. 

New Music Tuesday review for 2015-01-27

I got a little behind with posts the last couple weeks so no TBT today First up the list from the 27th.

Black Sun by Death Cab for Cutie

Finally some new music from Death Cab! Just a great song with a nice guitar piece running through it. 

False Hope by Laura Marling

With her vocals I can't help but think of Chrissy Hynde and I love how the song builds from being sparse in the beginning to a full rich bridge.

Bubble by The Dodos

Some nice '60s style harmonies with some very interesting drum work on this song.

The Last Ones Standing by Tep No

I love the finger plucking throughout the song and it is a nice chill dance song.

Loose Man by Torche

Heavy heavy driving guitars so a bit of a contrast from Tep No. Big and loud. I love it.

Teenage Illusion by Soda Fabric

A very stripped down and sparse song with a nice groove to it. 

Weight of Love by The Black Keys

This is my new song obsession. Just a rich gorgeous song that musically is just impressive. The bass line is incredible and the guitar solo starting at 2:45 is nothing other than face melting. While I live Gotta Get Away and Fever from this album, this is a masterpiece in my mind that blows them away.

Lou Reed - Don't Leave by LoveyDove

A great groovy song paying homage to Lou Reed. 

Mistakes Like This by Prelow

A nice hip hop groove like Common yet sung lyrics that are great. Just a chill groovy song.

Julep by Punch Brothers

What a great song. Sonically it is like valium or a cool breeze in the evening: just so relaxing and peaceful.
