Lakehouse by Of Monsters and Men (download here)
This is one of my favorite tunes of the new year from a six-piece band from Iceland. The lyrics don’t really make sense but it’s still catchy. Enjoy

Another mesmerizing tune by Bon Iver. The original is great too but this Thunderlust remix just really does it for me.

Happy New Year people. This is one of my favorite tracks of 2010 and a fitting track to end the year on. It’s a modern hymn, written by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and sung by the legend Mavis

Color of Your Blues by Money Mark (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
A chill out song for you today. Money Mark is a former collaborator with The Beastie Boys. He’s been around. In fact, he did the intro cords to Beck’s Where It’s At. If you like this, here’s a similar track i posted back in November.

This is a catchy tune by PA native. I’m a sucker for people snapping in songs. It’s catchy and bouncy and his new album just dropped last month. It’s pretty mellow but good.

North by Phoenix (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
I’m going to see Phoenix play tonight and I thought i’d use this chance to post one of their lesser-known songs that i really like. It’s pretty chill and an instrumental but still quite awesome. Just so you know, these guys are French and the lead singer has a baby with Sophia Coppola. Just saying

This trio from Rhode Island has a really cool sound and I dig people who whistle in their songs.
