ALT-J — Ms
An awesome wave. A wonderful journey.
Ms begins as a lullaby, a youthful stream trickling, gravitating toward the unknown, darkness. An inevitable transition. The stream is swallowed by a powerful river, peacefully eroding the earth, soothing jagged rocks to sand, en route to its estuary, a dream. That final moment of consciousness, as your body spells with the tide of a wave-dominated delta (∆), sleep.
You awake to a veiled recollection of your journey. It vanishes. The shadow burns across like embers tide paper.

COLD WAR KIDS — Lost That Easy
Amazing! Favorite track from the new Cold War Kids’ album Dear Miss Lonelyhearts.
“It’s a lonely life by candlelight to make believe you talk to the dead.”

LOCAL NATIVES — Ceilings
This is the best track off Local Natives’ new album Hummingbird. It slowly builds into an amazing performance…

RA RA RIOT — When I Dream
Jazzy-Sassy.
Really anticipating Ra Ra Riot’s new album, Beta Love. Love this band, but like them just a little bit less without the sexy cellist, Alexandra Lawn.

ALT-J — Breezeblocks
Alt-J’s debut album An Awesome Wave is far and away my favorite album of 2012. And of course they countered this great song with a compelling video.

IO ECHO — When the Lilies Die
This song sounds like it belongs on the Encino Man or Clueless soundtrack… or in some sort of mid-90’s high school flick with a hot blonde lead. Everything about the sound and video is amazing.
