Real Estate - Darling

| Kerri

The black and yellow finches
That nest in knotted ferns
Which hang upon our front porch
Wait for the warm sun to return

Impatiently, as I wait for you
Impatiently, as I wait for you

That night surrenders swiftly
The moon retreats from sight
The darkness that surrounds me
The sun cuts like a knife to shine

Impatiently
Impatiently

The birds singing
The sun rising
Impatiently
As I wait for you
For you, for you, for you
 

These guys have been on my radar for a few years (notably on TMIS last summer) so I've really enjoyed hearing this new single getting air time on Alt Nation. The lyrics are striking me at just the right time for a re-post of this artist, as I am both impatiently waiting for Keith to get back from Oz (a week or so to go), and also no longer having to wait to see Real Estate live (they will be performing at least 6 times this week during SXSW).

The Vryll Society - A Perfect Rhythm

| Keith
This is what you want
Once you believe
Once you believe
This is what you see
Why won't you see?
Why won't you see?

I know next to nothing (yet) about The Vryll Society, but the couple tracks I've listened to are pretty great. "A Perfect Rhythm" seems a good representative of their work, which is atmospheric, groovy, and well put together.

RIYL: Circa Survive, Pinback, The Dear Hunter

Au/Ra - Kicks

| Kerri
Handprints in the concrete
They run, they run, like
Young birds with the red cheeks
Always
Barefoot on the sea glass
Sharp ones, sharp ones, they
Don't learn when they cut class

What's dust to you is gold to me
(Gold to me)
But we're just different books to read
Where every single chapter
Is another cliffhanger

Last year at SXSW, I fell in love with the music (and adorableness) of Norwegian singer Aurora. This year I'm anticipating a similar reaction to a similar-named singer from a very different place (Antigua; Ibiza-born), and a very different sound. Hoping to catch her at one of the showcases she's in next week.  

RIYL: MUNA, Emily Warren, Tove Lo
