Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes "Janglin"
Edward Sharpe reinvents himself and turns out a great album for the summer. We saw them play at the Hammer Museum's "Also I Like to Rock" series this summer, and it was a great show (even though we practically had to climb a tree for a view).
The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band "15 to 20 (feat. Lady Tigra)"
This is another really catchy song. You will be singing along by the second verse (assuming you can count by fives).
Dirty Projectors "Stillness Is The Move"
The new Dirty Projector's album, Bitte Orca, is equal parts strange and mesmerizing. And this song is definitely both.
YACHT "Psychic City"
A former member of The Blow adds a collaborator, with great effect. Plus, the subtitle of this song (Voodoo City) might just be a shout out to my brother's doughnut shop.
Friendly Fires "In the Hospital"
I wish the fires in LA County were a little friendlier this week. But if you need something else to think about, this is a pretty catchy track.
*Note: By naming this post "The Daily 5," I am not guaranteeing any type of daily posting. We'll just see how this goes. Right now, it's a pain as I can't quite figure out the best way to get tracks up. Let's just say that this post took somewhere between two minutes and two hours. Yeah.
