Before we charge ahead into March, let’s take a look back at the best music of February…
Valise – Young Bloomer
This is quite simply a beautiful album. Each track here has a skillfully cultivated mood and the musicianship is incredibly impressive. I am obsessed with the drums & percussion on the album – it stands out much more than with most bands and completely enhances these songs. Young Bloomer WILL be on my end of year list – book it.
For fans of: Copeland, Lydia
Misterwives – Our Own House
Just about the most fun you can possibly have listening to music. The entire album is a blast of catchy sing a longs and bouncy indie-pop anthems.
For fans of: Little Daylight, Royal Teeth, Taylor Swift (No seriously, if you enjoyed 1989 you’ll love Misterwives)
Butch Walker – Afraid Of Ghosts
Pretty much the opposite of the Misterwives album. Butch’s latest offering sees him craft pensive & delicate folk tunes. Ryan Adams producing this album makes perfect sense. Walker is a skilled musician and songwriter and lets it all shine through on Afraid Of Ghosts
For fans of: …it’s Butch Walker, just listen to it
Platonick Dive – Overflow
Pla-what?
Yes, put that name on your radar. Italian trio Platonick Dive released a soaring & skilled album. There’s a really refreshing quality to their songs and Overflow is perfect for anyone searching for something outside the norm.
For fans of: Slow Magic, Tycho, instrumental goodness
TOTEM – Pride EP
Silky smooth vocals paired with beats that range from low-key & chill to funky & danceable. Very impressive EP.
For fans of: Lovelife, Ben Khan, Frank Ocean
Other awesomeness in Feb: Modest Mouse, Death Cab, Alabama Shakes & Passion Pit all released songs from their new albums…and they sound great.
Looking forward to in March:
Geographer – Ghost Modern
Modest Mouse – Strangers To Ourselves
Twin Shadow – Eclipse
Kodaline – Coming Up For Air
Death Cab For Cutie – Kintsugi
Sufjan Stevens – Carrie & Lowell
