The Anthem Sound - 4 Songs EP

These guys probably don't fit in this blog, but I thought I should share them with you. It's really sad that 4 songs is everything they have so far. 4 songs EP,  that's the actual title of the EP. It's a short 16 minute experience you shouldn't miss. C'mon... 16 minutes... make me happy... listen to this EP. It's complicated to find, but it's available on Spotify (actually it's easy enough).

Big Scary - Vacation

I won't say this album is awesome, I won't say it's great or nice enough, or so bad that I shouldn't even post it here. And I definitely won't say that this could easily be one of my favorite bands (and I know them for just 2 months). This album is an experience worthy to try, and I want you to make your own conclusions. Gladiator is the first song of the album, so listen to that song anywhere you want (youtube, spotify, last.fm, whatever), if you feel it's worth it, don't doubt it, listen to the full record. I hope this one's gonna stay in your daily library for a long time.

Geographer - Myth

So, I've been studying, and listening to indie, of course. I don't know what's more epic than listening to The Shins while taking the first glimpse at the most anticipated mother of the entire history. Yes, I'm talking about How I Met Your Mother. But this is not about The Shins, but about an awesome band, or artist, that came to me while I was in Omegle with a high guy. Guys, I discovered indietronica, and Geographer does it really good. It just sounds right. I can't take out of my mind Lover's Game. You gotta check this out. You must.

Interpol - Turn On the Bright Lights

I can't take this sound out of my mind. We all love New York City and we all have our reasons. There was Enon and there was Interpol. Who doesn't know Interpol? C'mon! When a friend of mine listened to this record for the first time he said, calmly, taking a deep breath "This is the greatest thing I've listened to since years". What has Interpol that makes them so special? The simplicity. The beauty of simplicity. Who doesn't love simplicity? The next time you walk over Times Square, tune in Interpol.

Dutch Uncles

I used to hate math. In fact I've never been very clever at it. I liked drawing, and I thought for many years that math has nothing for me, that it was meant to be boring. I used to think that way until I discovered math in music (actually music is basically math blablabla). The first thing I listened to was a noisy mathcore band, Dillinger Escape Plan. And I fell in love... Dutch Uncles came a little years down the road. It's not just an awesome indie band, it's math indie, and guys, it's brillian, fluent, progressive... this is art.

Galway - Mria

Being Russian is complicated. You have to stand a lot of stereotypes that people expect from you. And actually, why am I writing in English if I probably suck for an American or English reader?

These are the few things that made me stop writing for a while. But I realized that it doesn’t matter if you suck or not, you just do what you want and people should get that. This is what I’m thinking anytime I hit the play on this album. These Russian guys made me realized that anywhere, even in a country like Russia, there is a possibility to find something new and different that maybe only a few will get. The ambience of this record is brilliant. It’s hard to explain unless you’ve heard it. I think I’m going to stop rating albums and I'll just leave them for you. For those who want to know more and are looking for someone to show them.

So just check it out. By the way, as far as I know they have no label.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!

If just one day, I wake up and all around me seems like a romantic comedy, the music I'd choose as soundtrack would be probably Clap Your Hand's debut album. Every time I listen to this record I feel free. I don't know if it's the tired voice of Alec or that special indie touch they have but I can assure you, Over and Over Again is on of those songs you should listen while waking up early on a fu**ing Monday morning.

Every time I write a post I'm talking about gold. And Clap Your Hands, has a lot. Seriously, can there be a bad band with that name? There's no problem in this world that this album couldn't make disappear. It'll come back after a while, but everybody needs to relax. No?

So yeah, take this album as a getaway from a depressing day. You've got fired, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. You've got dumped, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. You just have a boring day, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. You get me? You just don't imagine how well a day can be fixed up with just clapping your hands with this band. 

This album is not easy to rate, but I think a high 8.5 would be awesome. What do you think? Listen to it right now!
