Thanks to I Am Fuel, You Are Friends I just recently discovered a new indie pop band called Walk the Moon. She posted a video for the single “Anna Sun” from their debut album, I Want! I Want!, which came out in November of last year. By the end of the video I was in love. I restarted it as soon as it finished. And I still can’t get enough. The music is great. I really enjoy the lead singers voice. The band reminds of both the Killers and Local Native and “Anna Sun” is as catchy as a Katy Perry song. It’s been stuck in my head all day. And I enjoyed the video so much I am having a hard time separating the two. It is great single shot journey that leads you through this awesome maze of a building that gives you a sweet keytar solo and fantastic little spontaneous/choreographed dance (just watch the effeminate guy in the purple tank top, hilarious). The whole video just puts me in a great mood. This is probably one of the best new songs I have heard all year. I am really excited to hear the rest of their album.
The New Pornographers either have a lot of friends or a lot of fans in Hollywood. They just released the video for their single “Moves,” off of last year’s Together, and there are about a dozen cameos made by recognizable actor/comedians. My favorite of which is Community’s Donald Glover. The song itself is alright. It’s definitely one of the stronger tracks from the album. The video is pretty entertaining though, and is worth watching at least for the fake preview for “Expectant Dads,” starring Paul Rudd and Bill Hader.
If you aren’t already a fan, you will be after watching this video. Here is Kristian Mattson, otherwise known as The Tallest Man on Earth performing his stellar song “The Gardner” with a gorgeous Swedish sunset in the background. This particular song is off of his debut, Shallow Grave. His sophomore effort, The Wild Hunt, was one of my personal favorites of last year and will definitely be making an appearance in my top ten list if I ever get around to posting it. Prepare to be wooed by this crooning Swede.
