Thenewno2, "Station"

Thenewno2 is Dhani Harrison's band, and this song is the lead single from their new album, "thefearofmissingout". Boy are these guys good. Every time I heard Dhani sing I feel like I'm listening to George Harrison again, just with current sounds around him. Essentially this is the continuation of what Harrison could have done, just with his son's vision behind it. Dhani seems to really like the experimental, and he shows that with his band on this record. I especially love the sample used before the second verse, which is a glitched out sample from Time Bandits. It just adds such an interesting dynamic to these guys.

Brandi Carlile, "Raise Hell" Vevo Session

Brandi Carlile is an artist I feel like I should have discovered a long time ago. But at the same time, I'm glad I discovered her music this past year, since her new album "Bear Creek" is pretty much phenomenal. Such simplistic songs like "Keep Your Heart Young", talking about how we can't take life too seriously, remind me of easier times, before I had a steady job and monthly bills to pay. Sometimes I get hung up on all the responsibilities I have, and forget that I need to remember, I'm only 26. I have my whole life to work and I need to keep enjoying myself and my life from time to time. Other tunes like "100" and "That Wasn't Me" give off such an old, back porch country sound that you'll feel like you've been transported to the country-side of Tennessee. The song I'm sharing is "Raise Hell", which she describes a little about at the beginning of the video. Read on if you wish to hear why I posted this video. If not, just enjoy the video.

Miner, "Hey Love"

In a current indie world of music dominated by the likes of Mumford and Sons and Arcade Fire, it seems like a new duo is going to start to steal the spotlight. I just discovered Buzzbands.la today and I have to say, this music is certainly refreshing (and fun). The video demonstrates the only music husband and wife duo Miner have to offer, but rest assured: they're not going anywhere just yet. Check out their video for "Hey Love", which features a great summer feel, and is surely a song that will make groups like The Lumineers jealous.
