[watch] Fanfarlo//Shiny Things
The good people at NPR’s All Songs Considered premiered the brand new video for the latest from Fanfarlo — “Shiny Things”.
The video is quite strange, but entertaining and enjoyable all the same. I’ve loved all the new tracks Fanfarlo has teased us with thus far and can’t wait for the soon-to-be-released LP, Rooms Filled With Light (out 2/28/12 to be exact). Check out the video at All Songs Considered, or head on over to Fanfarlo’s website for this video and more (and details for their upcoming US tour).
[on repeat] Hollow Pigeons//Birthdays EP
Stumbled upon this the other night and it’s been on constant repeat since. You can check out my favorite track below, but you’re better off heading straight over to his bandcamp page and grabbing the entire EP (it’s free, btw). The good people over at Crack In The Road put it best — “This kid is fifteen. Wow, doesn’t that make you feel old? Straight out of Toronto, Ryan Dela Cruz aka Hollow Pigeons is creating some of the finest chillout music around at the moment. New EP, Birthdays is an eclectic mix of borrowed samples and blissed out melodies, forming a release that leaves a craving for repeated listens…”
[hot off the press] Electric Youth//Summer Never Ends
“It’s cold outside but in our hearts and minds summer never ends…”
Electric Youth (the Toronto duo, not the hit Debbie Gibson album) just dropped another mix for Valerie. Stream or download the mix over on their soundcloud page.

(1) Day of Anticipation: 2012
Now that 2011 is officially a thing of the past, it’s time to look ahead at what this brand new year has to offer us music fans. 2011 will be tough to top, but with a handful of my favorites all set to release new material, 2012 is shaping up to be a another great year. So without further ado, here’s some of the music I’m most excited for in 2012…and please let me know who i’ve overlooked.
[p.s. apologies are in order. this post was originally planned for New Year’s Day, but between recovering from NYE festivities and holiday travels, it’s out a bit later than expected.]
