The Dig - How Can You Trust A Feeling

How Can You Trust A Feeling is spacey and echoing, but it ends as quickly as the singer is worried his feelings will. It's a song all about an unclear future, but at least The Dig can promise some good music in that future for you. It's full of electric guitar and vocals that are higher than any notes in the song, and it works together in a way that clashes and syncs.

Alice Boman - Waiting

The immediate tone of Waiting is lonely, but not the kind that can be fixed with a room full of people. It's the kind of lonely you find at the bottom of the bottle. The slow pace and the hums are intoxicating and the lyrics are reminiscent of a better time. It's a sad one but it's cathartic.

Terraplane Sun - Get Me Golden

The music in Get Me Golden is faster than the Foster The People-esque vocals and it gives the whole song this lingering effect. It's like it wraps a tie around your neck and pulls you head first into it, and the organ keeps dragging you through. The end brings out all the instruments, and they are played like they know they're close to dying, giving everything before the song breathes out.

Deep Vally - Lies

Lies is raw, real, and rare when it comes to girl bands. It's like Jack White meets two bad ass rock and roll chicks. The static beginning turns heavy and dramatic, making it a solid song to start a night of demons and dancing.

The KickDrums - Atonement

Atonement has a heavy bass dub, but it's less rave-like and more mystery-novel. The vocals are kind of like The Postal Service but seemingly darker in verse like Alt-J. This song has that feeling of time running out, when you know something bad will happen if you don't make it on time. It's trippy and loud and something to get lost in.

Islands - Hallways

This song is like an audio version of a crackly old film reel. It has this swing music feel but in slow motion, with a shoebop tone in the vocals. It's rare to find a modern song with such soul-heavy piano parts, and the harmonizing background vocals sound like an oldschool chorus, which makes the combo of the two show a lot of heart. It almost sounds like The Smiths with the breath tone but turns into an upbeat move-your-shoes kinda jam. It's all smiles and good feels.

Razorlight - Golden Touch

This song is old fashion in sound, like the Arctic Monkeys. It's also bass conscious in that it's upfront, even when the song's lyrics are singing about someone untouchable. It feels like it's a song that's in reach, easily accessible but artistic, too. It's consistent from the cheery guitar start to the somber-sounding finish.

Other Lives - As I Lay My Head Down

As I Lay My Head Down is just big. In content, in sound, in instrument, and emotion. It has that glossy Ramona Falls feel with the rawness of Low Roar. This song is both slow and quick in one motion and has almost a dancers grace. It's moving, but still. It's the perfect soundtrack to an indie art movie.

Temples - Keep In The Dark

Temples has a Beatles sound with their mellow vocals or a Tame Impala feel with it's breakdown like a herd of elephants. It's such a loud instrumental breakdown that the beat takes over the whole song. This song's just really capsulating and easy to get lost in.
