Tahiti 80

I heard Tahiti 80 for the first time on Pandora. I think I like them because they're different. And a lot of their music makes me feel happy which is always a hit with me.

These are my two favourite songs by them. I can't decided which I like more so I'll post them both. They have many other good songs so be sure to pick up their albums.

Tahiti 80 - Mr Davies
Tahit 80 - John Steed


'And you, you don't know what you do.'

Bedouin Soundclash

I loooove the Bedouin Soundclash especially their singer's wonderfully boyish voice. I can't explain it, but I love it every time his voice cracks. Maybe because it makes me think he's giving his all no matter what which never fails to make me smile.

Bedouin Soundclash - St. Andrews


'Love come save me too.'

The Shins

I like The Shins because their music is so whimsical and fun! If you haven't, check out all their albums.

The Shins - Baby Boomerang


'Talking with your boots and you're walking with your mouth.'

Beirut

5 or so years ago, I went through a big 'less is more phase' when it came to music. I really like music that was simple and good so that it didn't have to hid behind special effects or anything. (Kings of Convenience, Sondre Lerche, Elliott Smith..)

But in the past year or so, I've been getting more into music with many layers. (I don't know if that is correct music terminology...) I think that I was unfairly biased towards this kind of music before. It's a challenge in itself to balance many sounds and come out with something that doesn't sound over powering. I've found this in artists like Final Fantasy, Radiohead and this artist, Beirut. His music for me, always seems to be on the verge of being overpowering but never crosses the line, just reaping all the benefits of its richness.

Beirut - Transatlantique


'Midnight surrounds you, the moonlight makes you proud.'
