(31) Days of Good//12.26.16

Cinematic masterpiece with a build that always gives me the chills.

Minor Victories – Folk Arp [from Minor Victories]

“Featuring sugary synths and 8-bit drum beats…This is a bedroom-pop song that grew up on the ear-popping production of ’90s R&B and Courtney Love’s raw sense of melody, but its woozy glitter roll is unmistakably Dupuis.” [via Vikings Choice]

Sad13 – Get a Yes [from Slugger]

Stunning. Pure. Powerful. Beautiful…I could go on and on, but there aren’t enough adjectives in the English language to properly describe this song.

Good, old-fashioned rock n roll.

Dogheart – Drag [from Real Mood]

Upbeat and infectious anthem that you won’t be able to listen to just once. Make sure you check out their fantastic OK Go parody video.

AJJ – Goodbye, Oh Goodbye [from The Bible 2]

I wouldn’t believe this was Phantogram on a blind listen. With that said, I absolutely love this song. It’s cinematic. It’s emotional. It’s beautiful. It’s brilliant.

Leithauser (The Walkmen) and Rostam (Vampire Weekend) joined forces this year and released one of the year’s best. Hard to single out a favorite from this record, but I always seem to fall back on “A 1000 Times.” This track really showcases Leithauser’s howling vocals, Rostam’s signature sound, and how impressive the two sound together.

An evolved sound from one my favorite acts. I especially love these lyrics.

TRAILS AND WAYS – Happiness [from Own It]

Brilliant, jarring, and bass-heavy track from the always impressive Thao & The Get Down Stay Down.
