Happy Thursday from LYED, here's another healthy dose of covers that I'm currently digging. Not going to lie, I was pretty surprised to see that Foals once covered Swedish House Mafia, but after listening to it - I'm 100% about it. Which one was your favorite?
I'll be the first to admit that I've never played Grand Theft Auto, but when my newsfeed was flooded with "GTA V" statuses, links, photos, etc... I had no other choice but to figure out what the hype was about. Before I could get into the game itself, I stumbled across the Soundtrack - which is one amazing compilation of music from artists such as Health, Wavves, Neon Indian, Yeasayer, and Age of Consent. "Colours" is a funky little number that made me quite curious in getting to know about this mysterious duo from across the pond.
"Another Story" is the latest to be released from The Head and The Heart's forthcoming sophomore release Let's Be Still due out October 15th (via Sub Pop.) This track sounded beautiful from the Outside Lands livestream when they performed it this year in San Francisco along with their other new hit "Shake." Needless to say I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the album from this talented band from the Pacific Northwest.
Without a doubt these are three artists I would have never imagined to collaborate together, but am not an ounce surprised that it's one of the best tracks my ears have heard in awhile. This is apart of the Hunger Games Catching Fire Soundtrack, along with new music from The National, Phantogram, Lorde, and more!
P.S. Last night's post on LYED featured Lorde's debut album along with two other new releases, check it out if you haven't already!
Saint Motel covering Major Lazer, who da thunk it? After catching a show of theirs at Lola's Saloon in Fort Worth, Texas - I am digging this band to a T. This cover is nothing short of delicious, and Click here to listen to their latest single "My Type" which sounds just as amazing live as it does on SoundCloud.
This marks the 10th "freshvibesmonday" post, hope you guys like what I selected for today!

P.S. Keep a lookout for an announcement from Treasure Island Music Festival on their Facebook or Twitter page (I'm 99.9999% sure it's the lineup, and believe me you don't want to miss out). This is one of my favorite music festivals in the bay and this year it is held in San Francisco on October 13th & 14.
The video above is the official first listen clip for this track, which happens to be the first single off Matt & Kim's upcoming fall release Lightning. This album is the follow-up to Sidewalks, the 3rd album released from Matt & Kim back in 2010. The 2009 album Grand will remain as one of my favorites from M&K. This video for "Let's Go" is pretty interesting, as it features Patrick "Pat the Roc" Robinson doing what he does best while M&K are hanging out in the background.
Thanks to a co-worker for introducing me to SAINT MOTEL about 6 months ago, I've become a fan of this LA band. Click on the link below to listen to "Benny Goodman" on their SoundCloud account, and if you like what you're hearing - it's also available as a free download too!
Now I know my descriptions of tracks are often off-the-wall but in my opinion the first thing that comes to my mind when I listened to this track is chillllllllwave. On Onuinu's facebook page, he describes his music as: "Electro Pop, Disco-Hop". Such a great track, and it's off his debut LP Mirror Gazer that will be released on August 21st.
This track is from Echo Lake's debut album Wild Peace which will be released in the US tomorrow! With all of the hard work devoted to this album, it is extremely sad to find out that their drummer Peter Hayes (a founding member) passed away on Thursday morning at age 25. May you rest in peace! x
This is the epitome of what you would call "easy on the ears", and I am obsessed with it. I appreciate the simplicity of this track, and I find it to be extremely catchy with the pairing of the lyrics. "Show me how you see the world. Through your covered eyes".Seafoam consists of John Jagos (aka Brothertiger), and you can buy the self-titled EP
