Not much to say about Moonlight Breakfast except that they are Romanian and I really like this song.

Enjoy!

Butterflies

21.Mar

Continuing the Romanian music series, today we introduce Butterflies In My Stomach. The band formed in 2005 and they participated in all the major music festivals in Romania, being quite popular for their live performances. So far, they only released one album – Magic Store. In 2011 Maca, the vocalist, left the band to form Yellow Project and Catrinel Bejenariu joined the band.

The first song to share, specially for its fresh sound, is one they sing in Romanian – Lucrurile bune vin daca le astepti.

The second one is in English and gives their album’s title – Magic Store.

Hope you enjoy at least one of them :)

Paris is Burning

15.Mar

Today’s song comes from St Vincent and is actually the kind of song I am not a big fan of. But this one has something different… the voice, the lyrics, all sound too well together.

St Vincent is the band of Annie Clark, a former band member of Surjan Stevens. She follows the indie genre path and has so far released 3 albums. The first one, Marry Me, features this song I really like, Paris is Burning. Enjoy it below!

Video Games

14.Mar

Youtube sensations are usually very commercial songs (or purely stupid ones, like Rebecca Black’s Friday), but Video Games is quite different. It is a great balad song, quite sad and romantic and definetely a song to be remembered.

Lana Del Rey has already moved on, released a new album this year (Bord to Die) but Video Games remains on our list of favourites. Enjoy it below.

Long pause

11.Mar

Well, it’s been a while since writing, mostly due to travel…

But here it is, with an all time favourite – The Cat Empire – The Lost Song (live):

On’n'on

20.Feb

Justice, a french band playing electronic music, recently released On’n'on. The song is quite good and it has a rock feeling. Actually, the sound reminds me of Led Zeppelin and I am pretty sure this was one of their inspirations.

Check it out below.

Band of Skulls

16.Feb

The British trio from Band of Skulls recently will release in a few days their new album, called Sweet Sour. The leading song of the album sounds really good, with vocals making and interesting contrast with the sharp guitar sound. You can listen it below and you can preorder the album on itunes here.

P.S. The song also has an official video, but I really don’t like it – therefore, I preferred not to share it…

Where did Oasis go

15.Feb

I was talking to a friend a while ago about what happened with Oasis following their huge success in the 90s. Well, basically, the two brothers – Noel and Liam Gallagher – had numerous fights and eventually Oasis broke up in 2009. Noel Gallagher went by himself and formed the High Flying Birds band. Liam and the other members of Oasis formed Beady Eye. Both bands released albums in 2011, with High Flying Birds having a significantly better reception with the public and the critics.

You can listen below to High Flying Birds – The Death of You and Me and Beady Eye – Four Letter Word.

For the season

14.Feb

Still very much winter time in Romania, so here is one to go along: Tori AmosWinter, live at Montreaux. Watch it below.

Ting Tings – Soul Killing

09.Feb

In anticipation of their album to be launched this month, The Ting Tings released a new single, called Soul Killing. It sounds very good, a pop-rock sound with a reggae twist. You can listen to it below.

On the same album, Sounds of Nowheresville, you will be able to find Silence and Hang It Up.
