current favs

Beirut - East Harlem
This sing-a-long track is another testament to Beirut's musical and songwriting prowess. From start to fimish, it is a must-listen to avid music lovers..."Sound is the colour of gold/Sound is what keeps me forward/The sound of your breath in the cold/Is the sound that brings me home"

Beirut - Goshen
Arguably Beirut's most mass-friendly song

Beirut - The Rip Tide
A definite grower this is. The contents of uplifting sounds and darker lyrics allow it to emit positive emotions entwined with negative vibes, ultimately creating an equilibrium.




Junior Boys - Banana Ripple
In 2009, JB offered a grower in the form of "Parallel Lines". This year, it's this. From 4:49 til the end, you're in for an opulent treat.




Charli XCX - Stay Away
A pop song in its own right, it contains at least a few addictive melodies. But please note that this is not your run-of-the-mill pop song.

Destroyer - Suicide Demo for Kara Walker

The intro has the best of Sting in unison with Prefab Sprout's most profounding musical proficiencies.
