Hugo

New musics people. Hugo, from across the pond, released an album in 2011 titled Old Tyme Religion. If you like folk with a little mix of rock, this guy is for you. Interesting fact: Hugo is signed to Jay-Z's label. He has also taken the time to cover "99 Problems" (see below). Needless to say, it's bad ass.

"99 Problems" - Hugo

"Hopelessly Stoned" - Hugo

Midnight City Remixes

Team Ghost remix

Trentemøller remix

Slow down and hipsters.

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).

"Money" - The Drums

-Music-

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.

"Hallelujah" - The Helio Sequence

Young Empires

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.

"The Earth Plates Are Shifting" - Young Empires

And then..

In addition, this guy's music is good. Yes!

"Feel It All Around" - Washed Out

Columbia, Lana Del Ray...and M83(sorta)...

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.
