Better late than never (you never know when a wedding is going to end) here's our TOP TEN playlist, with several exciting tunes we are enjoying the most lately. This week "illustrious veterans" and Blog "beloved bands" make most of the playlist, completed with new discoveries. And of course, it's also available at the blog's soundcloud, so please Join Us!
Back with our weekly findings. It wasn't done on purpose, but it's going to be a very poppie post this time. Hope you enjoy but the three proposals are stunning!
Allo Darlin'. I didn't pay too much attention to their self-titled debut back in 2009. My bad, because their sophomore album, "Europe" is going to be among the records of the year for me. I'm completely abducted by this four-piece band based in London, led by the incredible Elizabeth Morris and her ukelele. The album is so full of indie-pop perfection I'm completely incapable of highlighting a song in particular, each day is a different one since the first time I heard "Europe". Let's admit it, I think I'm in love with Allo Darlin'. Allo Darlin' - Capricornia Allo Darlin' Baby Grand. As announced, more wonderful and joyous indie-pop, now from this Californian band with more than 10 years behind their backs, in which they seem to have evolved from "a more darker side" to this "Arts & Leisure", their fourth album, a lush, infectious and diverse compendium of twee-pop. Beautifully orchestrated, with the absolutely adorable voice of Gerri White presiding each tune, Baby Grand's music might recall you to all our indie-pop heroes (from Belle & Sebastian to Rose Melberg with a full-band, from Sambassadeur to Lush), but in just two words: delicious music. Baby Grand - Arts & Leisure
Next song in our anthology, with a wonderful jangle-pop tune. Let's get a bit nostalgic and remember past days of Spring (as we start the season today) of what seems very long time ago now.
Song: Denmark Artist: The Ocean Blue Year:2000
This band from Hershey, Pennsylvania, started their criminally underrated career by 1987, but I didn't discover them until the release of "Davy Jone's Locker" in 2001. I got myself haunted by "Denmark", with its short, atmospheric intro leaded by the simple drum beat.. and then the entrance of the shimmering guitars. Their bright but melancholic melodies where part of the soundtrack of my last year at university (finishing my degree on Political Science) enjoying the sunny days while catching the train. Restrained epic for a glorious bit of jangle-pop. Seems the band is back. Springtime again?
