New Stuff From Jess!

So between summer, internships, moving to Salem, getting jobs and switching cars, I lost my passion for finding new music. But now that I've had a few weeks to breathe, I've discovered some great stuff! Hope you enjoy!




This is I Am Oak. My dad actually found this band, cause he is cooler than I am. And by that I mean that he smokes lots of weed and explores Youtube for hours. They have that "indie folk" thing I've been craving lately. They sound a bit like Midlake but better, in my opinion.




My father also discovered Figurines. Based out of Denmark, they started out in the mid-90's and kind of sound like Modest Mouse.




Kishi Bashi is cool. This is the first track off his EP, Room for Dream. He recorded the whole album himself, being a multi-instrumentalist and all. If you watch any live videos, he will probably strike you as an Asian Andrew Bird, sans whistling.




When I saw Iron and Wine, The Low Anthem opened. I am in love with this band. They have this orgasmic mix of beautiful vocal melodies, harmonicas, organs and obscure world instruments. And clarinets!? Oh my god I love this band.




Youth Lagoon is one I just found like, today. It's a guy, he recorded the album in his bedroom. Sounds a lot like Beach House, but more trippy.
