TWIN SHADOW - FIVE SECONDS

Despite the upbeat discotheque sample, George Lewis’ (aka. Twin Shadow) lyrics make it difficult to ignore the heart-breaking and desperate attempts at winning this woman’s love. This theme of melancholy remains consistent throughout the album. However, Lewis’ musical delivery cushions his brutally honest accounts of love, greed, and life. 

It’s been almost a year since the release of his second self produced album ‘Confess.’ However, Twin Shadow’s 1980’s Morrissey-like vibe proves to be timeless and resilient. 

Twin Shadow is performing this weekend at the Sasquatch Music Festival as well as the Commodore Ballroom on May 28th, 2013. 

Because it’s Friday, may you remain resilient!

DAFT PUNK - DOIN’ IT RIGHT

French duo Daft Punk consistently raises the bar of electronic-music without compromising their trademark sound. Since announcing the May 21st release of their album ‘Random Access Memories,’ there has been much anticipation of the kind of music these fellows will produce. 

The recent release of “Get Lucky” already shows promise, being one of the most downloaded singles on iTunes and experiencing massive radio airplay. 

In contrast to their retro-inspired Pharrell collaborated track, “Doin’ it Right” (feat.Panda Bear), offers a low-key sound reminiscent of their 2001 Discovery track, “Something About Us.”

Overtly minimalist, simple, and whimsically intergalactic. The guys behind Daft Punk are certified alchemists of electronic music. 

Because it’s Friday (before the long weekend), we hope that you end up doin’ it right.

THE LOVE LANGUAGE - CALM DOWN

The July release of their third proper LP ‘Ruby Red,’ already proves growth and progression for North Carolina’s indie-pop band The Love Language. 

The combination of steady drumbeats, bright synths, and cavernously haunting vocals, makes this an unassumingly fitting track for any summer mix-tape. While it remains relatively bright and upbeat, the electronic-like influences, calmly coasts the listener through a pretty solid song. 

Because its Friday…may you find some calm and serenity.

IRON & WINE - GRACE FOR SAINTS AND RAMBLERS

This is Iron & Wine’s sixth album, Ghost on Ghost starts out quietly and disarmingly, then transitions through the record with jazz and blues combos, peppered with just the right amount of stings and brass. This record displays that he has an interest in transcending indie folk and country at an expansive, but leisurely pace.

He proves once again he is a creative songwriter with a defined lyrical style. Effortlessly notably in this catchy track which revels in simple musicality, fun energetic vocals and a sense of grace. 

Because its Friday! …. may we all be doing what we love.
