“Freak Out” – Stellastarr*
Stellastarr* is back with a new song, complete with the muted and jabbing yet soaring electric guitar lines, supportive driving drums, and dramatic chorus. Right from the start, “Freak Out” has characteristic stellastarr* written all over it. Check it out if you’re in the mood for some good old indie rock.
“Billionaires” – Your Twenties
Catchy “ooh ooh ooh” vocals for a chorus, check. Handclaps, check. Easy-going summertime rock beat and guitars, check. This will be the famous hit for Your Twenties.
“The End is Near” – The Fiery Furnaces
Oh, Fiery Furnaces, some of your songs sure are iffy. But thanks for this one. Another pleasant melodious song that I can definitely enjoy getting stuck in my head. And way to go, making a depressing message into a cheerful tune.
“Kiss of Life” – Friendly Fires
Speaking of FF, Friendly Fires have a new song out as well. The best part is the tribal drumline. That kind of thing will always have my heart, and it does a great job enhancing the electropop aspect of “Kiss of Life.”
And now that I’ve seen the video, I like it ten times more. Hello, Mr. Zach Condon look-a-like.
I wish there was a ‘like’ option for blogposts because I really liked this video!
