Howler - Back of Your Neck

I can't decide on how I feel about the entire Howler album, America Give Up, but I do know I love this song with it's California surf vibes, which is an especially great sound considering it comes from a Minneapolis band. It's hard to resist bopping your head along.



Check out the perfectly vintagey video for the song below.

Caroline Smith & The Goodnight Sleeps - Tanktop

Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps of Minneapolis could be categorized as indie folk/pop. However, Caroline's voice is what will grab your attention which would put her in a category of female singers you likely know and love. Names like Feist, Laura Veirs, Regina Spektor, and Cat Power come to mind. Her songs reveal a youthful exuberance combined with a head full of doubt, which is the epitome of what it's like to be in the midst of your 20s. The sophomore LP, Little Wind, has depth as it starts with indie rock with a bit of grit and finishes with a sweet ukulele pop song, and cohesively showcases everything that falls in between those two poles. Little Wind will be released on September 20th. I'd put that date on my calender if I were you, you don't want to miss this album, it's truly beautiful.
