freshvibesmonday #7

WOOOHOOO It's Monday. Lots of good vibes in today's post, and if it's finals week for you too - GOOD LUCK!! :) 

Adventure Club - Rise & Fall ft Krewella (via their SoundCloud)

SOOO Excited when I recently found this fresh track from AC. I'm becoming more and more obsessed with Adventure Club, they always have the best transitions throughout the song that keep me hooked. 

On Saturday, the band Oberhofer released a demo for "HOMEBRO" via their BandCamp account. It appears that this track is fairly special to the band, and I can definitely see why. 

Kill Paris - "I DO LOVE YOU"

Like what you hear? Check out his SoundCloud here!

 

How To Dress Well - Ocean Floor For Everything (click to directly listen to it from his SoundCloud page). This was released almost three weeks ago, and will be featured on the upcoming album Total Loss this fall! You can also download this track if your ears approve, fo free.

Flosstradamus & DJ Sliink - Test Me This beat is tasty to say the least. Retrieved from SoundCloud, this message was attached with the track- 

'The single from our collaboration with DJ Sliink from the Brick Bandits! NOMADS EP coming soon on Fool's Gold Records!"

Matthew Dear - "HER FANTASY"

This track is the second single from Beams that will be released on August 27th! It's super low-key, enjoy.

Slowdance - "BOYFRIEND"

MMM. You just can't go wrong with a track drenched in 80's summer vibe. Calia, if you're reading this - this has your name written all over it. 

Last night I was lucky enough to catch The Head and the Heart at The Fillmore in San Francisco with a few friends for FREE (thanks Kristen!) The Fillmore will always be one of my favorite venues, never pass up a show there if you live in the area! They also performed Friday & Saturday night at this venue, and last night's sold out show was absolutely packed! They performed practically everything from their debut self-titled album, along with a few new songs! They started off with the first song off their album titled "Cats and Dogs" that transitioned perfectly into "Coeur D'Alene". Their set ended with "Rivers and Roads", then came back to play a new track and ended the encore with "Down in the Valley". Overall it was a wonderful show, and I'm excited to hear more about the new unreleased tracks that were exposed last night!

sunday pick-me-ups round dos

Today my friend Taera & I decided to make a pit-stop in Solvang today on our way home from Buellton (if you've never heard of this tiny town on the coast, you're not alone). It's a pretty sweet little Danish town, oozing with tourists from all over the world.It wasn't long before I couldn't help it & joined in on the cheesy shenanigans. 

ENJOY YOUR SUNDAY! :)

KILL PARIS - Keep Your Secrets in Midnight City

WHOA. So I was first drawn to this track when I noticed Midnight City in the title, and after the first drop I definitely fell in love with it. It's really catchy how it alternates between beats, while simultaneously in the background you can hear that infamous noise from the Midnight City track. (fun fact: that noise is actually Anthony Gonzalez's voice along with some editing work)

TYCHO - "Dive" (Memoryhouse Remix)

If there's one thing I can always depend on Tycho for, it's his ability to put me into a relaxing trance. Tycho solely consists of Scott Hansen from San Francisco, and you won't find a weak beat on his 2011 album Dive. Remixed by Memoryhouse, a dreampop duo that know a thing or two about a style of music that incorporate just enough lo-fi that won't take away from Denise Nouvion's angelic voice. They are well on their way to being the younger siblings of Beach House, keep in mind that I'm not saying they're "the next beach house", because there are definitely differences between the two duos that allow a distinctive line to be drawn.  

AUSTRA - Beat and The Pulse (Still Going Remix)

I wouldn't be surprised if I already posted this song on a previous blog post, because it's that damn good. Yes, it is a little slow in the beginning. Once it starts to pick up, it takes off into . Austra is well-known for it's unique electronic-goth paired with Katie Stelmanis' voice that is stronger then the tools you find at the gym. Every-time I listen to this track, I get an immediate craving to watch Party Monster. 

It's definitely something worth the waiting. 

ANGUS STONE - Bird On The Buffalo

Something a little different to add to this mix. This is one of the first tracks I've heard from Angus as a solo artist (in case you were wondering, he is THE Angus Stone in the brother-sister duo Angus & Julia Stone pictured above^) 

Easy on the ears.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD - Wires

What everyone in the blog world is raving about these days, and who wouldn't?  Even Leona Lewis had to publicly express her love for these guys via twitter, and after listening to this track you will probably do the same. The Neighbourhood delivers just enough pop in their tracks that has you wishing you were out in the sunshine instead, and not studying in the library. Dreamy California vibes. 

Don't forget to check out "Sweater Weather" & download their debut EP I'm Sorry on

& the best part? IT'S FREE. 

HÔHME - Eagle Eyes (Kaskade x Sander Van Doom x Adrian Lux x Mindy Gledhill)

This blows my mind. Stick around for the entire track, you won't be disappointed.

THE HOOD INTERNET - Pesobedear (A$AP Rocky x Purity Ring)

YES. YES. BLOODY HELL YES. Just when I thought "Obedear" from Purity Ring couldn't be mixed/messed with, The Hood Internet took it to another level by mashing it with A$AP Rocky who's growing attention left & right (Did you watch his Coachella performance?). A$AP Rocky & Purity Ring are individually praised for their unique flow, and mash-up quite perfectly.
