R. Thomasin Album

R. Thomasin has released their self titled album for download here (http://rthomasin.bandcamp.com/album/r-thomasin).  Below is one of the songs from the album “Laurels”.  I do like their sound, but at times the instruments are to overpowering for me.  The lead singers voice blends in with the instruments really well, I kind of think of her sound like Enya and how her voice blended in with the instruments.  For more Indy Music news be sure to check out Wild Honey Pie at the following link: http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/

Color Collage Single

The first time I listened to Color Collage’s “Can’t Stay Put’ I didn’t enjoy it.  Maybe it was the mood I was in.  However, today while listening to it I really enjoyed the song.  Maybe it’s just one of those songs that has to grow on you or you have to be in the right mood for it.  Either way don’t take my word for it listen to it below and see what you think.  For more Indy music news link over to Wild Honey Pie: http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/

Music from Vampire Weekend

With a name like Vampire Weekend you kind of expect a goth sound to come from this band.  However, the two songs spotlighted here (“Diane Young” and “Step”) are very light and pleasant in tone.  I really like them and am interested enough to look into their whole 3rd album Modern Vampires of the City.  Thanks to Wild Honey Pie for sharing the two videos below.  Don’t let their name scare you away.  Check out both videos.  Out of the two I like “Step” best with it’s lyrics and how the video was shot with the Black and White imagery of the city.  “Diane Young” is an upbeat tune that is infectious and the video is really simple.

The Hands offer sample of their upcoming album Synethesia

hands A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR HANDS [STREAM]

This reminded me of the ’80’s or was it ’90’s sound (pretty sure it ’80’s) when the big thing was synthesizers. With the song “The Game is Changing Again” the band the Hands have grabbed hold of that feel and ran with it.  If you were a fan of the music back then you will probably be a fan of this one.  Thanks to Wild Honey Pie and be sure to visit their website for more music news: http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/

CHVRCHES “Recover” Music Video

Thanks to Wild Honey Pie for alerting everyone to CHVRCHES new music video “Recover” on YouTube.  It has a great Science Fiction flare to it and has an, what looks to me, update HAL in the video for 2001: A Space Odyssey.  This single uses the Synthesizer as its main instrument which fits well with the video.  They must have taken that into consideration when developing the music video.

Dawes Single “From My Window Seat”


The band Dawes will be playing at SXSW along with several other bands.  If you are in the area you will have some great music to listen to.  Below is a sample from their upcoming album Stories Don’t End, “From My Window Seat”.  When the lead singer of Dawes started sing my mind immediately flashed to Jackson Browne.  The way he sings is really reminiscent of Jackson Browne’s sound.  So if you know anybody that is a Jackson Browne fan, let them know about Dawes they might enjoy it.  One to consider adding to your collection when the album is released.  For more music go to http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/.

Torres’ Debut Has a Good Sound

Mackenzie Scott’s (Torres) debut album is spotlighted with her song “Honey”.  I love Mackenzie’s voice, it is crisp and clear.  With “Honey” sounding like a personal song I would have used the drums, but rather than an electric guitar, I would have preferred an acoustic guitar so Mackenzie’s voice could be spotlighted that much more.  Definitely an album to consider for a growing music collection.  Thanks to Wild Honey Pie for the song below and check out more artists on their website (http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/):

Young Galaxy’s latest single “Fall For You”

Young Galaxy YOUNG GALAXY GETS GROOVY WITH FALL FOR YOU [STREAM]

Young Galaxy’s new album Ultramarine may not be out until April, but the band has given us a great new track to make the wait seem a little shorter. “Fall For You” is a welcomed new direction to the bands sound. Layered with a blanket of synth, island rhythms, and singer Catherine McCandless’ confident vocals, the song is more than a little charming.

Judging by the quality of both “Fall For You” and the albums first single “Pretty Boy”, it’s beginning to sound like Ultramarine will be the new album Young Galaxy fans have been hoping for.

Stream “Fall For You” above and make sure to stay tuned for more off of Ultramarine, due out April 23rd on Paper Bag Records.
