Brooklyn(Ditmas Park) five piece Lucius haven’t been together for long but gathered massive hype for their showing at SXSW this year and that has helped shoot them into the stratosphere thanks to all the blog love. See the internet can be a useful tool after all. Unlike the Kardashian’s, who are just tools. Despite the fanfare garnered from SXSW I do believe it wouldn’t have been too long before we heard of them solely on the strength of the song alone. An extremely catchy chorus laid over an infectious beat is all you really need their kiddies, and this tune has that and so much more. Sign up for their newsletter for a free DL of the song here. Now hit play and sway!

Sweden is a damn mecca for infectious pop as Suvi proves yet again. It must be something in the air over there. I’m gonna go and over there and breathe deeply for awhile and see if my voice becomes enhanced and my cognitive capacity for tasty pop blossoms. Anyways, Suvi’s vocals create an atmosphere of sensuality and eroticism that will get you all hot and frisky and possibly in trouble with the neighbors. Orchestral elements accompany the hard hitting beat and leave you spent….as it should. Now go and wash up. It’s almost time for lunch/dinner/bed. Enjoy!

Oh Norway, thank you thank you for this teddybear of a man and his amazing voice. Talk about things that make you go huh! Yes the voice you are hearing is coming from the man pictured above. I was refuting the claim as well thinking it was electronically doctored or he was actually an elfin prince,……but no…it is him. The tune sounds a lot like a Passion Pit song but dropping a debut like this is gonna have the blog vamps drooling for his next release because it is so kick your mom in the shins good!! I think I just listened to this 51.7(someone rang the doorbell) times in a row. Starting 52 right now!!!

AOSOON stands for “Alot Of Something Out Of Nothing” and they are right on with that acronym. This new duo from London comes out of the gate with a powerful debut. “Skinny Strong” starts out slow and folky and then when the electronics say hi you feel all blissful like and shizz. Check it for yourself!!

These guys just keep putting out beautiful tune after beautiful tune! Love how the vocals dance so sublimely with the beat. There definitely is MAGIC at play here.

Here’s an addictive song that just might wear out the play button. Australia must have something in the water as they consistently churn out amazing pop/indie bands like their lives depended on it. Indie is their greatest export surpassing Paul Hogan, Nicole Kidman, and even Bryan Brown. This band from down under will soon be all OVER!

Hi, I’m Bryan Brown!

Oh damn, you must be cray thinking I can contain myself when I hear this!! This song was made specifically for cruising the night, and when I finish here that is exactly what I’m going to do. I don’t care if it’s still snowing in almost May outside. Mother Nature will not contain me and my desire to be the coolest(and most likely only) dude showcasing my whip’s bumpability in the throes of a snowstorm. Go ahead and hit play and see if you have the will power to reign it in. I dares ya! Free download for ya too!!

Sweet tune here for lovers of a Beach House/Grizzly Bear fusion. Goes really nice with a cup-o-joe. From their upcoming LP Ritual Tradition Habit.

Looks like Mr. Mystery just sneakily dropped his debut LP on Bandcamp. Grab it here. I just did!!!!!

Found this ridiculously catchy tune on electricpandamusic.com and have been listening to it non stop since then. Sweden is the land of indie pop and this Stockholm trio is doing its part to validate my statement with the infectious “Pumpin Blood”. Can’t ask for a better tune to get stuck in your head! Stay connected for future gems here.

If you won’t or can’t have your beach bod ready for summer than at least I got your iPod beach ready with this new EDM gem from The Knocks. Now where’s my mankini at?!

Ghost Loft burst onto the scene like a homemade tank at a town carnival last year with their blogtastic hit “Seconds”. Now here they go again dropping another piece of epic ear candy into our craving ears with “So High”. I feel like I’m wandering through a sun kissed forest in slow motion after the morning dew has settled when I listen to it.
