Oh Malô - Miss You

I've been countin the days since I last saw your face, oh it's been so long
But this is the only thing I still can find myself writing about
And writing is the only thing that can keep me from crying out loud 

Cause' I miss you like hell oh I miss you 

Whoops, I meant to post this one during one of the twelve days we were apart, but a day after Keith is back from a work stint in SF will have to do. Oh Malô is an indie quartet from Boston, earning a nom (locally) for Best New Artist in 2015 and releasing their deput LP in 2016.

Said the Whale - Step into the Darkness

My sweet light, sweet love of mine
It might never again feel like it’s the right time
If it’s the end, well, let’s cross that line
Let us step into the darkness
Let’s step into the darkness

I was a ghost, you were the fear of god
All of my shrines, old broken hearts and wind chimes
I was alive just waiting for the hand of time
All of my ghosts went up in smoke
And through the window

A Vancouver band that's been around for 10 years, and sounds this fantastic - how had I not heard of them before?? Anyway, I *have* been listening to them a bunch since this track landed in my Spotify "Discover Weekly" back in April. Sorry it's taken so long for me to share! (Guess I'm part of the problem. But no more! Go forth - dig in their back catalog - see them at a show, etc.)

RIYL: Young the Giant, Local Natives, Hippo Campus, Colony House

Imagine Dragons - Dancing in the Dark

Most days I'm keeping to myself
Living in my little bubble
Throwing my weight and moving my body through the sea
You could come join me
Moving like the weekend
I don't need nobody

I got a text from my Seattle SIL yesterday raving about this song and I was at a loss. See, I was a big fan of ID's debut album (and earlier indie EP) and saw them live 2-3 times during that period - they were awesome. But their sophomore album totally turned me off. And new single "Believer" seems like a dull retread (musically) of "Radioactive" so I hadn't given this third album a try. But. Now I have to say, thanks sis! This song is something special.
As an aside: (Obviously) this track shares a name with a Springsteen song - one of his best, IMO. I was both delighted and disappointed that the Imagine Dragon's release didn't turn out to be a cover, ha. (My most-favorite Springsteen? "Brilliant Disguise" hands down.)
