Indie Goodness

Some of the best songs I've heard in my entire 21-year-old life are from indie bands. These songs are so good, I think I'm hypnotized when listening to them. I won't mind even mind playing them for the rest of my life.

Active Child - Hanging On 

How many people in the world can create music as ethereal and calming as this? A lot, TBQH, but this song captures my sentiments exactly. 

 

Black Kids - Hurricane Jane

With lyrics like "It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody", I instantly became a fan of Hurricane Jane and the rest of the Black Kids discography. It's my kind of music--indie-electro with a hint of pop and rock. 

Dr. Dog - The Breeze

Thanks to Jamie Dornan, I got the chance to listen to this amazing Dr. Dog song. And he's right, if this won't make you smile, there's something wrong with you. A song for laid-back Saturdays. 

A Music Video Party

I missed a lot of music video releases the past weeks. Let me make up for that by having a music video party! Confetti, please.

Clara C - Fish 

Clara's music video are always a little bit whimsical and Fish is no different. I actually expecting something more related to the song in a literal sense and some great underwater scenes. But, I have no complaints with the actual MV, TBQH. And Mike Chang is here, JSYK. :D

Lana del Rey - National Anthem 
Lana del Rey aka the Queen of Instagram pretends to be Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy in one music video with rapper A$AP Rocky as the President JFK. Well, you know the story. And I love it, I love it. Btw, loving all your clothes in this vid, gurl. Werk.

Super Junior - Sexy, Free, & Single 

Their title song is definitely so much better than last year's Mr. Simple. It was too simple for the gods that are Super Junior. Aside from the song, I super love the set of this MV, especially that minimalist white set with the curved side. Does it even matter?! My flawless BBs are back and nothing in the world matters right now. Everything else is irrelevant.

2NE1 - I Love You


I like the "sensitivity" this song has. I like its melody especially at the beginning. It's like Go Away minus the angst. But after last year's I Am the Best, it's definitely much more tamer. I have a feeling that this is not really their song for the year. It's more of a taste of what is about to come.

Clara C Unveils MV Teaser for 'Fish'

YouTube sweetheart Clara C releases the music video teaser for Fish, the first single from her upcoming sophomore album featuring Glee star Harry Shum, Jr..

I love Fish! Ever since I heard the song during Clara C's show here in Manila last December 1, 2011 at the Music Museum, I have been waiting for this day to come! To fully comprehend what I really feel right now, watch this clip (Thanks eibrum!):

Fish will be available on iTunes on June 25th!

Florence + the Machine Unveils 'Breath of Life' OST for Snow White and the Huntsmen

I fell in love with Florence + the Machine ever since I heard Dog Days are Over. Then, when I heard Shake It Out and Spectrum, I know I'll never reach the ground. With their new song for the soundtrack of Snow White and the Huntsmen, Florence and the Machine brought me to cloud nine.

Breath of Life is haunting. In fact, it is terrifying. I love how it sounds so classical with the grand choir and the orchestra but Florence's voice just makes it even more enthralling. Her voice is epic that it matches the classical sound of the choir and the orchestra yet it is so distinct that she still overpowers them all. Plus, adding the hiphop beats was genius since it made the song more relevant and modern and different from all the classical OSTs that we usually hear.

If I were a spy or an assassin, I would definitely play this song when plotting for someone's demise, which is actually what this song is all about, given Florence wrote this song with the Queen's perspective (her desire for youth that she literally sucks out the life out of young women) in mind.

Can I just say how solemn and calm her speaking voice is? Her speaking voice is so prim and proper yet her singing voice is so strong and commanding.
