Fly Golden Eagle - Psyche's Dagger

Had the chance to see Fly Golden Eagle about a week ago with Dr. Dog, and woah. They had this jam quality that immediately had the crowds attention. A song like Psyche's Dagger is raw, with elements of funk and soul, which is exactly their vibe. There is something so sincere in the way this song is sung, like it's one you wouldn't mind getting stuck in your mind for the rest of the evening.

Marika Hackman - Cinnamon

Marika Hackman uses a low dark guitar melody and sugar-high vocals in Cinnamon, which is the perfect name for such a bittersweet song. It's monotoned at parts, in a jaded way, but the melody sweeps in randomly and takes the song to different places. It's both beautiful and harmful inside a quiet, subtle tone.

Swear and Shake - Marbles

Swear and Shake is a young, life loving folk band. Marbles is one of their more upbeat tunes, sounding almost circus-like with all the brass instruments, but it portrays their melodies and how perfectly matched their dueted vocals are. Then during the breakdown you get to see a whole new side, one of melancholy and longing. Their album "Maple Ridge" is full of songs that mirror this structure and Marbles, being its first track, is a great way to suck an audience in the first time they listen.

Dresses - The Duet Song

Last weekend we saw Dresses open for The Limousines and they made quite the impression. With a quiet kind of beauty to their singing and this subtle old-time vintage feel The Duet Song is the perfect way to describe their live sound. With vocals that match almost unfairly in this very hand-holding drive-in date kind of tune, they just have this way of being really damn charming.

The Griswolds - Heart of a Lion

Heart of a Lion is upbeat like Oberhofer but in a more mild manner. Having oooos that are catchy, this song lightens up any place it touches. And the drum breakdown is the part of this song that really makes it stick. It's a song full of summertime snark.
