Hey Marseilles - True Love Will Find You in the End
You'll find their website at heymarseilles.com. This seven-piece band from Washington (the State) is categorized as Indie-Pop, Indie-Folk and Jazz. For me, they are a tasty stew of music with unique instrumentation - well, have you played a drumbourine before? - which means that mandolin, trumpet, accordion, cello and viola play a big role in their sound! Their first album, "To Travels and Trunks", was highly acclaimed when released in 2008 and again in a remastered form in 2010. Enjoy this tune , written by Daniel Johnston, from their recently released "Valentines".
Lemolo - In Black and White
More from the great state of Washington! I seem to like my music stripped down and raw on occasions, and it's even more enjoyable when the band consists of a guitarist and a drummer! Well, here we have Meagan Grandall - on guitar, keyboards and vocals - and Kendra Cox - on drums and keyboards - playing some spare, dreamy, ringing, terse, rock and roll music! Don't expect the White Stripes nor the Black Keys (hey, Black and White, get it? It was unintentional, I think) because they haven't reached that level of musical maturity! But these women play solidly and the music jumps from other-worldly and ethereal to in-your-face with ease, and you'll be happy you listened.
There is a link to a KEXP Radio Performance of their song "On Again, Off Again" --> HERE!

Be not afraid to speak up, my friends. Let me know what you like or don't like about this blog! I can take it! As The Pursuit of Happiness sang way back in 1988, "I'm an Adult Now!"
Cheers for now!
