Bag Raiders - Sunlight

A: Bag Raiders
S: Sunlight
C: Bag Raiders

A day as sun-drenched as today might not even need a song to keep the doctor away, but I'll post one anyway, just because I can. On that very thought I have been told a week ago or so that it wasn't the songs that kept the doctors away, but a kiss a day. Easy as that. Bag Raiders are a house duo from Sydney, and don't even think of not liking the song just because it is oh so fashionable to not like house, because it is not. Now open that window and turn up the volume.

The View - Grace

A: The View
S: Grace
C: Bread And Circuses (out now)

Right then, before this one ends up on the list of songs I should have done but kind of missed the right moment to do so and thus never ended up on this little blog of mine, here are The View, some scottish indie all-rounders (on that free online encyclopedia thing their sound is described as punk, pop, alternative rock, pop punk, powerpop, folk, and acoustic - loving this: Is there anything missing?). Anyway, they are all sober boys now and you are some lonely girls. Cheers.

The Legendary Lightness - Airplane

A: The Legendary Lightness
S: Airplane
C: Airplane - EP

The Legendary Lightness just have their new single released a week or two or maybe three ago, called 'Blue Light Turns To Grey'. Some magazine that shall not be named said their new video welcomes spring, but it looked more like a definition of winter to me so I have decided to go with this song they brought out last year. Anything Airplane is fine with me really. Stay put for the album release, which will be out first of april, no kidding.

The Naked And Famous - Girls Like You

A: The Naked And Famous
S: Girls Like You
C: Passive Me, Aggressive You (out now)

Ok ok ok, I know it is getting boring and I am well aware of the fact that this is the third song of The Naked And Famous to be posted on this blog, but I love the video and just downloaded the album (on iTunes, of course - when it comes to music, there is nothing illegal about me) which is released now (obviously) - and I am as excited as a Barbie who just returned from her first date with Ken (ok maybe not quite as much but close).

Miami Horror - Sometimes

A: Miami Horror
S: Sometimes
C: Illumination (out 29.04.11)

If summer was an musical act, it would be Miami Horror, and if summer was a song, it would be Sometimes - or something like that. According to my friend Wikipedia, the dabut album has been released last year, probably down under where the magical miamical Horrors are from, but up here on the old continent the date to pen down in your diary is end of April, just in time to get you going for this year's warmer season.

Zigitros - Wondering White

A: Zigitros
S: Wondering White
C: Wondering White - Single

At the break of their break-through with their long awaited debut album to be released sooner or soon (I've been told by their groupie number one), I figure it is about time to introduce Zurich's probably most exciting band around or ever. Zigitros, that is. Declaring their sound as 'Future Folk', the term itself leaves as much room for imagination as their songs are imaginative, which, after all, great music is all about.

Twin Sister - All Around And Away We Go

A: Twin Sister
S: All Around And Away We Go

I never really liked that saying but I will try it once: If you like Goldfrapp, you are going to love Twin Sister. Maybe it is the other way round, who knows. I'll try one more: if you like chocolate, you are going to love chocolate cake with chocolate flavored whipped cream. I do love chocolate, and I love Goldfrapp, and I love Twin Sister who are a five piece from Long Island (no Ice Tea). Must have a pretty big heart me.
