Pickwick‘s killer cover of Richard Swift’s “Lady Luck” is the cover song of the week. Swift released several solo records throughout the 2000′s, including 2008′s Ground Trouble Jaw EP
, where “Lady Luck” was first featured. Swift is currently a member of indie-rock band The Shins.

Sean Tillman is a bizarre little man. He’s a singer-songwriter who performs under the names Sean Na Na and Har Mar Superstar, and is often nearly nude during his performances. He just released his 5th studio album, Bye Bye 17
on Cult Records. Despite his bizarre antics, I love the first single off the album, “Lady, You Shot Me.” He seems to be channeling James Brown on this new song. It’s one of the best soul songs I’ve heard in quite some time.

Bad Bad Hats is a new indie-pop band from Minneapolis who released their debut album, It Hurts (free download), on Afternoon Records earlier this year. The lead single, “Super America”, is a really catchy and clever song that we have been really enjoying along with this gorgeous summer weather that is finally arriving.

Eliza and the Bear is an folk-pop quintet from London that will resonate with fans of The Head and the Heart or Freelance Whales or Of Monsters and Men. They only have an A/B single out, and no word as of yet about a full-length debut coming this year. But this first single is good enough to garner some attention and get them on the UK festival circuit. Hope to hear more from them soon, until then take a listen to this gorgeous soaring gem of a pop song.
