I've been so busy recently, that I've definitely been slacking on getting some good music going, so thanks to Meredith for picking up my slack and keeping things proper. Lets get to it. 

The Very Best - Warm Heart Of Africa(Afro-Western/Indie)

What happens when Africa meets London meets New York? This happens. This is Esau Mwamwaya, a wonderful man from the (warm) heart of Africa, with two London producers who go by Radioclit, and Ezra Koenig from good ole' Vampire Weekend. Together, the four of them make this gorgeous song, and with Ezra's catchy chorus, its one to listen to over and over and over...


Faded Paper Figures - Polaroid Solution (Indie/Synthpop)




I'm trying to figure out if I really like this song for how minimalist it is, or how much it sounds like The Postal Service. Either way, this is Faded Paper Figures off of their first album released a couple years ago. Its got a nice laid back groove to it, and like I said, a very Postal Service feel.


The Five One - Mandatory (Indie/Hip Hop)




A great track by a great group of people. They're all for revolution, and beautiful music with powerful lyrics. I also LOVE the autotune in this song. I'm a sucker for the autotune. The four of them decided to simplify themselves from social complexities by simply becoming colours. Thats right. The members of this group are Red, Blue, Green and Gold. Man, I'd love to be gold.


Freelance Whales - Hannah (Indie/Pop)




Another great track out of New York, Queens to be specific. A pretty new band on the scene, they've made big waves. This song is off their first, and so far only album "Weathervanes". Entertainment weekly called it "the best electric indie-pop debut since Ben Gibbard last tuned his laptop" which I just thought was funny. 


Chilly Gonzales - You Can Dance (Pop/Dance)



Ending things off with something a little funky from Chilly Gonzales, you can dance is a nice little track off of his latest album titled "Ivory Tower". Have a good Sunday night people.
