Marble Sounds - The Time to Sleep

The Time to Sleep is a catchy haze of a song, with typewriter sounds and shivers of induced dreamstate melodies. Marble Sounds somehow made an upbeat lullaby in this one, a tuned paradox that insists on a happy coma. It's a song that's perfect for laying around and staring at ceilings.

Hannah Georgas - Elephant

Elephant has this silencing experience, like it perfectly captures the moment when a crowded space goes quiet. It really is like an elephant in the room, but a graceful one. Hannah Georgas' voice is like pure church bells, and the growing background has this reverse effect on it, like the polarity of her clean voice and the increasingly cacophonous music creates this balance of rough perfection. After you listen to Elephant 534982 times, go listen to her other songs, like Fantasize, which has this catchy-ass Breakfast Club feel, and yep, you're now a Hannah Georgas fan.

Fast Romantics - Funeral Song

Favorite lyrics: I set out to sail the moon and I came back so lonely

In 'Funeral Song,' Fast Romantics prove that dance and death go together. It's a song of constant motion, the guitar and drums mimicking each other in the background like a constant anxiety of something impending, but it's so catchy in its anxiousness that it tangles melodically in your brain. It's consistently dramatic, but not in an overtly theater-club way; it's just dramatic in the sense of being filled with something that makes you feel something.

PAPA - Ain't It So

PAPA has Mikel Jollet-esque vocals, but with a piano lounge backdrop. The guitar progressions go from passive to aggressive, with an underlying cloud nine melody. Then there's a key change that revamps the song right at the end, like it's downing caffeine right before shutting the front door for the night.

Saint Saviour - Here In Me

This song sits at the bottom of a swamp, its muddy-water music sounding distant and faraway but simultaneously encompassing. The vocals are this crisp, clear film over it, like a layer of diamond on top of all the pond-life. It's gorgeous and unfiltered in a way that makes the contrast enchanting.

AM & Shawn Lee - Somebody Like You

The melody behind the vocals in 'Somebody Like You' is so fluent while the music is so simultaneously disjointed, like the vocals are what's steady about this song more than the beat. It has this funky old feel to it, with quiet lyrics that are like intimate candlelight whispers, sweet nothings with a soundtrack.

Pegase - Without Reasons

Without Reasons has a water drop, one step beginning. A minute and a half in, though, new vocals and percussion builds up, nonstop until the open air ending. The whole song is a slow burning crescendo, smooth and progressively different.
