Fun - Dent May - Do Things

Here’s another track that ought to be in rotation all summer long.  Looking forward to this album coming out in June.

Dent May - “Fun” This song.  It sounds like summer.  Sunny on the beach.  Relaxing with warm sand on your feet.  It sounds fun.  Then the synthesizers go on, and it is just so chill.  Put on your sunglasses and let summer hit you.

Wild Belle - Keep You

Song’s been out a few months but I like the reggae vibe.  I know nothing else about Wild Belle.

Real Life - Tanlines - Mixed Emotions

The new Tanlines release sounds like it will be on my playlists all summer.  This track came out a couple of years ago but was rereleased on their latest.

Lusitania - Andrew Bird - Break it Yourself

Andrew Bird’s latest is fantastic.

Here’s your new summer anthem! 

Really looking forward to this one.

Eyeoneye - Andrew Bird - Break it Yourself

Andrew Bird is one of my favorite artists.  His new album, Break it Yourself, hits March 6.  Stereogum pointed out his new track was up on SoundCloud this morning, so enjoy.

Sunday Kind of Love - Etta James - At Last!

R.I.P., Etta.

Where is My Mind - Sunday Girl

Heard this in the “Indie While You Work” room on turntable.fm yesterday.  It’s a mighty fine cover of the Pixies classic.  Happy Cover Friday!

Origins - Tennis - Young and Old

New Tennis is due out on Valentine’s day.  Pat Carney from Black Keys is helping out with production.
