artist of the month

future islands

these baltimore boys have been touring up a storm to promote their latest album, in the evening air and they are kiiiiling it. this album is so motherf*in good, it puts any naysayers to shame. the album is what the boys in the band call “post-wave” and it’s a pretty darn accurate description of the tunage, new wave meets post-punk in a beautiful marriage of whimsical and heartfelt emotion. the album is solid to say the least and worthy of a listen if you have been living under an indie rock. pun intended.

song of the day

his clancyness – how it’s done in italy

summer is sweet, eh? well, so is this darling cover of danish buddha + mi’s diddly by native canadian, turned italian, his clancyness. it drips of honey and must taste like dulce de leche flavored gelato if its notes were swallowed. simple and loveable, this track might be the perfect gateway to a good mid-day in the middle of the week daydream to get you through the 9 – 5.
