Jamiroquai - "White Knuckle Ride"

A cool jazz-funk tune that I happened to hear in H&M. Really catchy!

Clint Mansell | Moon OST #1 - Welcome to Lunar Industries

Clint Mansell, the renowned music composer for acclaimed films like Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, and The Fountain, also created the eerie, mysterious, and provocative soundtrack for an independent British film known as Moon.

The soundtrack for Moon will be presented by Mansell himself at the Largo at the Coronet in April 4 and 5, 2012. A sample of Mansell's mastery of music and art is posted below. (And, if you haven't already done so, please watch this fantastic movie known as Moon!)

Gotye -- Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)

It's been a while since I last posted, but I heard this song on the radio today and instantly fell in love with it. Strangely, seems a bit relevant for times like these.

M83 - Wait

Memoryhouse | Bonfire

Ambient. Soft. Summer. Sun rays. A lazy day in a hipster coffee shop.

I'm somewhat in an "easy listening" phase. Nothing too harsh or loud is perfect at the moment. Canadian band Memoryhouse has vocals resembling Zooey Deschanel (in my opinion) with melodies that are slow, but not quite melancholic. I would describe "Bonfire" as the title implies: warm, cozy, and hopeful.

Sub Pop Records is on a role with artists like The Album Leaf, Iron and Wine, CocoRosie, and of course Memoryhouse. Memoryhouse's album The Slideshow Effect, which includes "Bonfire", will be released February 28, 2012.

Young Empires | The Earth Plates Are Shifting

Thought of "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode when I first started listening. Good, relaxing music for my fogged ears (curse you, rhinovirus).

Youth Lagoon | Daydream

I heard this song in Urban Outfitters. It was one of those songs where I just knew I would bitterly regret not asking an employee what the song playing in the background was. Youth Lagoon is described by last.fm as:
The dreamy, reverb-laden outlet of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Trevor Powers (Boise, ID), sharing his emotions in every drop of his music, leaving no room for any sort of privacy. 
While listening to this song, I really feel as if I am in a daydream (if such a thing could be transfigured into music). Another song of note is "Montana".
