I’m beside myself.

First things first, happy New Year!  Another year has come and gone. It’s an exciting time, and I hope the momentum keeps on going.  2010 had some incredibly solid music and I predict this year we’re going to see some even better acts.

So, here are some songs that have undergone some heavy rotation from me lately, all which I think will have bright futures this upcoming year..

Ghost Train – Summer Camp This song completely weirds me out..but in a good way.  I honestly can’t even classify this.  The light strumming, the weird ’80s sfx, an accordion, reverbed-out repetitive vocals…I totally dig it.  It’s a fun song you need to listen to.

Microlite – Trophy Wife I’m a bit obsessed with English music and I can’t even help it.  I think I must gravitate towards it somehow.  I love that the first 10 seconds of this track I had a different impression and then the drum machine kicks in and yeah, just like that.  I’m instantly in love.

Like a Ghost – Stanton Just an old simple love song.

B of The Bang – Monument Valley Another English band (told you..) I was listening to over the weekend a thousand times on loop..this song actually made me want to write this post/share this music in the first place.  It’s a song full of some despair but with a triumphant theme with a little help from some light horns/strings.  All in all a really nice song to listen to.  Can’t wait for more from Monument Valley.

And so it goes, first Monday of the New Year on its way out.
