Cende - What I Want

| Keith
Act without a thought
You wish that it was all imagined
Your demons unfold before me
Even what I want I'm bound to let it all end swiftly
I'm in it for the moment

#1 Hit Single by Cende doesn't live up to its name. There are at least a few great tracks on the album! So don't stick to a single and start at the start with the horribly catchy "What I Want" featuring Greta Kline aka Frankie Cosmos.

RIYL: LVL UP, Two Inch Astronaut, Frankie Cosmos, Porches, Cayetana

Pale Seas - Someday

| Keith
As dawn breaks, I remain in the dark
Your echo leaves a scar
So you'll never be gone


I'm just getting into Pale Seas and I'm loving what I'm hearing so far. It's a bit hard to pin down, but I'm getting a bit of an Oasis vibe, maybe Placebo as well, but with an earthy, folksy cast to it. Like if Neko Case was fronting one of those bands. It's cool stuff and I expect more from their upcoming album, Stargazing For Beginners.

RIYL: Editors, Placebo, Neko Case, Blaenavon, Wolf Parade

Upcoming Shows

Rare Monk - Happy Haunting

| Kerri
If you were to die before me
I hope you haunt me forever
And if I were to die before you
Yeah I'm gonna haunt you forever, with clever puns, yeah
 

Pacific NW peeps coming at you with a new album and a sound that is so familiar, yet distinct. Clever intertwining guitars and vocal harmonies, with a good measure of pop sensibility and a dash of indie cynicism. If you like this, you should definitely check out the rest of A Future, and their previous album Death By Proxy (it feels a little harder edged than this one, but in a good way). 

RIYL: Modest Mouse, Day Wave, Tipling Rock, The Shins, Cold War Kids
