FRESHVIBESMONDAY #48

(Shout-out to my friend @mallorystarr for lending me this week's image for FVM.)

Keeping it short & sweet with the selection this week for now, but there's no telling of what gems will be released in the next couple of days - so as always, watch this space. I have to admit, I'm extra excited to hear from Tei Shi again - this time with "Bassically" a song that's sparked the internet's airwaves ever so perfectly. (I highly recommend listening to "Nevermind The End" over on her SoundCloud, that song gives me butterflies every time I listen to it.) ALSO, we've been exposed to the first taste of Oh Land's forthcoming album with the title track "Head Up High." Definitely a fan. 

If the name Crooked Colours rings a bell, it could have been when LYED featured them as a Friday Fascination back in May? Heard "Capricious" for the first time on Saturday night and instantly added it to this week's FVM. P.S. Hope you're as excited about "FROOT" as I am, there's no telling what Marina Diamandis has up her sleeve for album #3. 

PSSTT. Hey Santa Barbara, Happy New Noise Week! Hoping to absorb as much music as possible on Wednesday & Thursday starting with one of my favorite bands ever, Polica at SOHo! I was fortunate enough to catch this four-piece in Philadelphia two years ago at Union Transfer, with the talented Gardens & Villa as the opening band (as if I couldn't have been anymore homesick.) Needless to say it was one of the best nights I experienced while living in Philly - because seeing Polica live is unlike anything else. Do yourself a favor and grab a ticket now before it sells out, seriously!  

Friday Fascination: Crooked Colours

Today a lovely trio that go by the name of Crooked Colours released their debut EP titled In Your Bones (via Sweat It Out) and I haven't been able to take it off repeat. Album opener "Come Down" was originally released awhile back along with remixes from Yolanda be cool and Alison Wonderland that are totally worth checking out as well. Being from Australia, this group is in great company with artists such as Flume & Chet Faker who have already made an impact on the electronic scene over here in the states. 

This EP is downright impressive and has a style that doesn't cater to one specific audience. I'm really excited to see where they go from here, but in the meantime- soak up this EP every chance you get. 

(Grab the EP on iTunes here.) 

P.S. Don't let this be the end - head over to their SoundCloud page to hear even more gems.
