Mikhaela Yvonne Maricich is the only member of The Blow, electro-indie pop artist from Brooklyn. I would have to say my all time favourite song is 'Parethesis', a really upbeat tune that makes you want to belt out the lyrics. Music that makes you want to do a cheesy dance to Mikhaela is really doing something great here. Currently with K Records I would recommend their LP Paper Television if you're looking for some decent, happy, pop that isn't in the charts right now.
Manchester Orchestra
My friends are probably sick of hearing me rave about these guys, indie-rock band from Atlanta made up of Andy Hull (guitar and singer-songwriter), Robert McDowell (lead guitar), Chris Freeman (keyboard and percussion), Jonathan Corely (bass) and Tim Very (drums.) Their music has quite a melancholy feel to it with moving songs such as 'Play It Again Sam, You Don't Have Any Feathers', 'I Can Feel A Hot One' and 'Don't Let Them See You Cry'. They are becoming more well known having been played on Radio One and they recently played at Camdens XOYO. Currently with independant record label Favorite Gentlemen run by former drummer Jeremiah Edmond, they are releasing their new album 'Simple Math' on May 10th.
Indie-folk duo from Alabama, made up of Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink. They have this dreamy sound that instantly makes you feel relaxed, they work really well together or as solo artists. I really love 'If You Fall' and 'Rest Your Eyes' with really sweet sounding lyrics such as 'So this is love, well that's a lovely thought. You have to care for it to keep it together.' Currently with Saddle Creek Records, they have also done numerous collaberations with Bright Eyes (singer-songwriter Conor Oberst.)
