FLOATING IN DREAMS

Song time! Here are my 10 favorite songs of the past month. I’ve been digging tons of new tunes, but also some not so new ones. I guess the mix is getting more eclectic by the month. Hope you enjoyed the music and leave a comment below with your current faves!

Alt-J – Mathilda

I already liked this song, but ever since I saw these guys live at Pukkelpop I’ve been listening to this song non stop. It’s a kind of folky pop music with an electronic twist. Sorry that’s the best I can do for a description.

Frank Sinatra – I’ve Got You Under My Skin

Ah good ole blue eyes. I love me some Frank Sinatra and this is by far my favorite song by him. This came on while riding my bike through some late summer afternoon glow after a pleasant day at my new job. And I realized what I lucky and happy person I am. Life can sometimes be that simple.

Dragonette – Rocket Ship

Happy song time! I just smile whenever I hear this. It’s one of those ‘I want to dance around and sing-a-long’ type songs. Poppy in the style of Little Boots with a hint of Santigold.

DIIV – Doused

One of those songs that just comes on, but strikes you nonetheless. It’s guitars, a bit dark and dreamy with a hint of the 80s. Me likey.

The Constellations – Perfect Day

I’m just a sucker for catchy tunes and that’s what this is. Guitar driven power track with a dark edge to it. No wonder it was used on the Vampire Diaries soundtrack.

Stealing Sheep – Shut Eye

Folky pop songs with a hint of electro. Hmm… maybe it’s a theme for this months music?

Boy & Bear – The Village

Catchy sing-a-long folky tune. It’s hella short too, but it makes me smile. I like the rest of their album too and it’s on my ‘to buy’ list.

Harlan – Dancing on the Bed

Who said hipsters were uncool? Happy indiepop track that again makes you want to dance around your room.

Tom Day – Echoes

Now for something completely different: atmospheric/ ambient almost soundtrack like music, but with an elektro break beat twist to it near the end. Soothing!

Glowbug – Heatwave

Elektro indie track that just makes me want to jiggle or bop something. Again: a happy song. Hmmm… another theme. lolz.
