I had a hell of a time picking which song from her awesome EP I wanted to feature on here, but this is the one I heard most recently, so it wins. This girl can sing.
Ivy Levan - I Don't Wanna Wake Up
ps - how was this not on the great gatsby soundtrack?
Man, these guys couldn't look more Brooklyn-indie-rock-hipster-cliche, but all is forgiven, as they have composed one of my absolute favorite songs of the year. Harmonies, synth, and retro beats abound.
Everything I hear from The 88 is nothing short of consistent...they always put out really solid tunes. And man, this is a good one....with a great video, to boot.
The 88 - I Saw The Light That Day
ps - sooo close to nfl season...i'm having trouble containing myself.
It feels like no one really paid much attention to the 2nd Ting Tings album. Sadly, I can't really hate on that ...it's been a while since I listened to it, but it didn't leave too much of an impression... Regardless, this one is a gem.
