Woah Woah Woah.

So I thought I was only gonna post once this week, but I have been on such a music kick that I just need to share with you guys! I hope your weeks have come to an end and you are ready to get the weekend started!



So Tanlines has the afro-beats that just make you wanna dance but also has a semi-indie feel. They don't sound anything like the typical bands coming out of Brooklyn, NY right now and I think that gives them an edge. Their lyrics are alright but their beats are dope.



El Guincho is the pseudonym for Pablo Díaz-Reixa who hails from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. I fell in love with his Alegranza album around 2008. His mix of afro/spanish beats with that psychedelic feel was fantastic. He also sings in Spanish which is always a A+ in my book. He is coming out with an EP (Piratas de Sudamerica and an album Pop Negro.
"Bombay" is from Pop Negro. I actually just saw him last night live and it was probably on the top 10 concerts I have ever been to.



This "Dream-Wave" genre band (shouts to Aidan for that) is comprised of Logan and Nick, two guys from Oberlin College. I actually saw these guys live and didn't know who they were. They create rhythms which range from very electronic to that "dreamy" stuff. They remind me of Neon Indian without lyrics. And speaking of Neon Indian, I'm gonna put some VEGA in here.



So I heard about Vega over the summer. Vega is an independent project of Alan Palomo, one of the members of Neon Indian. I spent an entire month searching for his album after hearing this song. Each song on his album Well Known Pleasures is different from the rest. I really dig the 80s club scene feel (synthesizzzzzers) that his music has. Apparently he is set to release another Vega album but that has yet to have a set date.



And for an ending piece I want to slow it down a bit. Local Natives are a Cali indie rock band who only formed about two years ago. I think this song musically is fantastic with its crescendos and interesting lyrics. Check out their Myspace page to check out some more of their stuff and check their concerts for their current US tour.

That's all from me for today! I will see you guys probably on Wed! Have a phenomenal weekend and please contact us for request, influences, or just to comment on if you like our blog or not. Check ya lata!
