Single of the Week

Owl City is the stage name of Adam Young, a Minnesota native plinking out dreamy tunes that meander down clever lyrical side streets. Fireflies melds a partly-cloudy-with-a-chance-of-clearing attitude to a trance-pop beat. The result: an invigorating, feel-good electro-pop experience. Young has a bit of Death Cab for Cutie in his vocal timbre that, when pressed up against a synthesized beat, is so effervescent it could levitate Stonehenge. Fireflies appears on Owl City’s latest album, Ocean Eyes.

Canción de la Semana

Last week we showed our appreciation for the efforts of Natalia LaFourcade when we spotlighted her new work with Los Amigos Invisibles. This week, we take our new love a little bit further and spotlight a track from her new album, Hu Hu Hu. Ella Es Bonita is a bright slice of sunshine pop where Ms LaFourcade comes across like a nouveau folk-singer with a penchant for horns and organic disco-pop. In a perfect world, we would spend our weekends in the forest, frolicking to music like this.
