Parachutes, Halogen

Halogen

My friend Nicci (aka yeahyoureright) sent me a link to this incredibly sensitive and joyful video called "Moments". It features the song Where Were You by Reykjavík's Parachutes.

Also, I urge you to listen to Halogen from Perth, Australia. Their music reminds me a bit of the early Pretty Girls Make Graves, just a bit softer maybe.

An Horse, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Grand Archives

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

Everyone who likes Tegan And Sara should give An Horse's glorious album Rearrange Beds a listen. And similarly wicked are indie-pop-fetishist-happy-making Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin from Springfield, Missouri. Their song Glue Girls is such a nice reminder of Built To Spill's 90s sound. Also, please listen to Grand Archives, especially their song Index Moon will be stuck in your head forever.
