These two artists always remind me of summer. First is Kings of Convenience and their music makes me think of lazy summer days. Here's a song off of their latest release, Declaration of Dependence(2009).
"Mrs. Cold" - Kings of Convenience
Second is The Drums. Great band, bunch of hipsters if you ask me. They have a great sound. This single is off of their album Portamento(2011).
Hallelujah, that's the name of a single off of The Helio Sequence's album, Keep Your Eyes Ahead, released in '08. The album as a whole isn't that bad either, check them out below.
This band sounds good, their website gives me a headache and I don't know if they have released an album yet. This is band discovery/internet perusing at its best people.
Hey look, another Columbia, SC artist, Washed Out (well, he went to USC. It's no Clemson, but it'll do). I'm all about good music and trying to keep it close to home. Check him out. The song below, "Amor Fati", is from his album Within and Without. Don't mind the guy with man-boyshorts underwear.
"Amor Fati" - Washed Out
Check this lady out. I've been digging on her for awhile and thought I would share her music with you.
"Blue Jeans" - Lana Del Ray
On a final note, I've been reading the Harry Potter series and listening to the new M83 album a lot, which, if you haven't listened to it you should. Now I'm finding that when I'm not reading Harry Potter and just listening to M83 it constantly makes me think of Hogwarts and Harry Potter...damn, I wish I was a wizard.
So, for those of us on the Norther Hemisphere, fall/winter is here. Is it weird that I miss hot days? I want them back. I'm not a person of cold weather, unless there is snow involved. Somehow having that makes being cold all of the time OK.
To help me get through the winter I've found this cool Tumbler website, Sun-Believable. Hopefully it will get me through the winter. Either that or it will send me into a winter/summer-envy-rage destroying everything in sight...
Any cool trips you guys have planned for the winter? It would be cool to hear about them and possibly steal them and make them my own.
