Music Loves of the Week
1. She & Him - Obviously! Their sound is just so adorable and cheerful. Zooey has this amazing bright, classic voice that I could listen to for hours. One song in particular that I love off of their new album "Volume 2" is 'Ridin in My Car' It just has a retro vibe to it that I love.
2. The Shins - These guys are on almost all of my playlists. I adore them. Amazing sound and lyrics. I would marry James Mercer if he would have me. Although I love everything they do, my absolute favourite songs are 'New Slang', 'Caring is Creepy' and 'Australia'. If you've never heard of them, DEFINITELY check them out!
3. Broken Bells - On the subject of The Shins and James Mercer, I am loving my new find of this band. The band includes James Mercer (Lead singer for The Shins) and Danger Mouse. I picked up this CD at Starbucks on a whim, and I am so so happy that I did! If you like The Shins, you'll love Broken Bells.
4. Said The Whale - Of course. Everything the do is spectacular. Awesome road trip music. They are coming to Calgary on May 1st and unfortunately I'm not going. I'm so bummed about that. Again, if you haven't heard of them, check them out and listen to some of their stuff. I recommend 'Camilo', 'Gentleman' and 'Black Day in December'.
5. The Flaming Lips - I have really been loving them lately. Especially 'Do You Realize??' It's just an amazing song. It picks me up right away and just makes me think about life and everything miraculous. When I die.. Hopefully far in the future.. I want this to be playing at my funeral.
6. Ray LaMontagne - Soothing, acoustic joy. His voice melts my heart. Listen to 'A Falling Through' and 'Gossip in the Grain'. Just makes you want to lie there and absorb the sound.
7. Joe Purdy - Again, Acoustic serenity. Discovered him the other day actually, and fell madly in love with him. One song in particular 'Isn't Love'. Just beautiful sounds all around from this fellow.
I really could go on forever... I have so many amazing artists that I am in love with right now that it's impossible to name them all. So that is the top 7 for now. New/ other Artists will probably come into the list by tomorrow anyways... :)
