Track of the Day: “I’ll Be Home(less) for Christmas” by 8 Bit Love

Those fanciful fun fellows from 8 BIT LOVE have given us a non traditional Christmas song (the best kind I say) with “I’ll Be Home(less) for Christmas”. 8 BIT LOVE‘s  quasi-Christmas carol was inspired in December 2012 when frontman, Vito, and housemates received an eviction notice in the mail. “It’s a tale of shock, anger, despair and the concerns of the bonds between housemates when bond is … Continue reading Track of the Day: “I’ll Be Home(less) for Christmas” by 8 Bit Love

Track of the Day: “Legendary Lovers” by 26

I am a bit biased, but 26‘s cover of KATY PERRY‘s “Legendary Lovers” is absolutely wonderful. Even if I am biased, I prefer the cover by 26 over the original. The song sounds meaningful and full of emotion their way and while I listen to Katy’s version, I feel as if it’s a series of bad puns sung by 16 year old. That’s just my opinion. … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Legendary Lovers” by 26

Track of the Day: “Chess” by Petite Noir

We stumbled onto PETITE NOIR through DREW FELLOWS of 26/SAINT HUGHS and boy are glad we tweeted about PETITE NOIR. PETITE NOIR is the brainchild of South African native YANNICK ILLUNGA. Yannick is a singer, producer, jack of all instruments genius! “Chess” is a brilliant mix of that indie pop vibe and soulful voice and we look forward to more of PETITE NOIR. PETITE NOIR: Facebook | Twitter [soundcloud … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Chess” by Petite Noir

Track of the Day: “Coyote Love” by Grace Askew

When I started listening to GRACE ASKEW, I didn’t know she was a contestant on Season 4 of THE VOICE. I discovered her on my local NPR station and immediately bought everything she had available. Her voice is whiskey on the rocks with a splash of pain. It’s smoldering and sultry and as always her music is beautiful, heartbreaking, and emotional. “Coyote Love” by Grace … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Coyote Love” by Grace Askew

Track of the Day: “Halloumi” by Wayfarer

Melbourne beatmaker WAYFARER has released a brand spanking new single from his BEAT TAPE 02 EP and it’s downright fun, flirty, and sassy! While listening to it, I am instantly thrown back in time and watching my friends play Mario Cart. I believe there might even be a “one up” leaning sample in it! BEAT TAPE 02, released today and was mastered by Andrei Eremin (Chet Faker, Oscar Key Sung, … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Halloumi” by Wayfarer

Track of the Day: “For the Sun” by Close Talker

Check out Saskatoon’s CLOSE TALKER new single “For the Sun” from their album FLUX (available on iTunes). CLOSE TALKER is composed of Will Quiring (vocals/guitar), Matthew Kopperud (guitar), Jerms Olson (bass), and Chris Morien (drums), but the quartet all provide vocals as well. What I dig about “For the Sun” is that it slowly builds into this great little song that has poetic melodies and … Continue reading Track of the Day: “For the Sun” by Close Talker
