Real Estate – Green Aisles

It felt like time I posted some Real Estate and their mellow, washed out sound is perfect for a Monday morning. This track is taken off their excellent 2011 album Days.

They have been one of my best finds during my blogging odyssey and Out of Tune remains one of my favourite tracks from the last few years.

Sea Pinks* – A Pattern Recognition | (NAT)

It has been too long since I posted something jangly. Belfast band Sea Pinks provide the guitars today. The track is perhaps a little insubstantial but it’s sunny and rather fun which, every once in a while, is enough to catch my ear.

Chairlift – Party

I am not too familiar with Beyonce’s original version of this track (the video is rather fun though!) but I am a big fan of Brooklyn hipsters Chairlift, in particular their track Planet Health which I posted last year.

I think this re-interpretation, featuring Kool A.D. of Das Racist for good measure, suits their somewhat offbeat style.

Miami Horror – I look to you

Melbourne band Miami Horror made one of my favourite tracks of 2011 in Holidays (fun song, slightly strange video) but I had rather forgotten about them until a couple of weeks ago. I subsequently revisited Illumination, which both tracks are taken from, and rather enjoyed it.

Tape Waves* – Ready Now

This is a first for the blog in that these guys submitted this track to me themselves. In case anyone else out there wants to do the same the email address is 365daysinmusic@gmail.com

Tape Waves are from Charleston, South Carolina and I really like their Lo-Fi, washed out sound. It reminds me a little of blog favourites Best Coast.

Kid Mountain* – Parashootin’

I thought for a while about which band I wanted to post as the 700th (I can’t believe it’s been that many!) artist on my blogging journey. Then I realised what better a way to mark it than with a random band that stumbled across on YouTube a couple of days previously and pretty much know nothing about!

Kid Mountain are an un and coming band from Boston, MA. This track is taken from Happies, which was released late in 2012.
