Alive - the Morning Episodes

Anyone in need of a sunshiny song? With the rainy weather being a bummer and all, we are stuck at home. However, on the brighter side we have more than usual amount of time to discover good music.  And speak of good music, here's a good song.  Hear what we have to say after the jump, then we'll compare notes on the comments.

"Alive" from the Morning Episodes calls to mind the pick me upper lyrics of Jacks Mannequin and the minor electro warbles of LCD Soundsystem.  It is a lot more like the danceable indie tunes that you like, only with less dancing and more clapping (maybe because it is more pop rock than dance). For some reasons, this song will make you mentally clap your hands in the air.  There's enough sounds on this song that makes it lively in a contagious way.  Yes, quite appropriately titled, this song will make you feel alive.

The songs video will be out soon, check out the teaser.

Alone - Claudiox

If you dig electro rock, read on. 

The sound that this track creates is what you will get when industrial rock molests electro indie. "Alone" is a sort of a genre mash up. It's like a creative experiment gone right. It opens with a playful note only to break into a brutally frank confession of loss. With the right amount of whimsy, angst and eventually, positivity, this song grows on you every time you listen to it. 

If you like Nine Inch Nails and Passion Pit, then you need to listen to this song.

The Green Room - The Tins

       

         

One song that sounds like a whole album.

It's keyboard and guitars blending with each other has the different kind of uplifting harmony that makes you soar with the song for the whole seven minutes. The switching tempo, binary vocals and the insightful picturesque lyrics creates a roller-coaster trip.

This is a release from their 2010 EP, "Tins".

Valentines Day Mix : Where Did All The Love Go?

Four more nights till Valentines Day and here's a mix about love. All kinds of love. We look for it. We find it. We let it go. And then we're back to the beginning.

Where Did All The Love Go? - Kasabian

The song gives its title to this mix. Only because we often find ourselves asking the same question. And besides it is a great song.

Inside of Love - Nada Surf
Nada Surf gives us glimpse of what it feels like to want to be in the inside of love. This song is a lot like love, it tickles your ear like love tickles your heart.

Fin - Pupil
Fin is a short song that is full emotion It is about finding the missing piece of you.

Nobody Does It Better – Radiohead
This Carly Simon cover makes you want bathe in Thom Yorkes voice. Nobody does it better than him.

At Least It Was Here - The 88
The 88 gives a bittersweet tune to our hearts doubts.

Wax and Wire - Loch Lomond
This painful song is quite symbolic and almost cryptic but this song talks about death. It can be a death of love and not being able to revive it.

Different – Acceptance
Different is an alternative song which is quite different from all the songs in this mix. Because sometimes when we love, we want to see something that's different.

Dead Ends – Canines
And at the end, we get tired of love. We get lost finding it. Then we wait for it to come again.

Album Review: Velociraptor! - Kasabian

Velociraptor literally means swift seizer which is a spot on description for Kasabian's latest album.

Think, The Rolling Stones raping The Ting Tings.

Seized your attention yet?

With a weird mixture of psychedellia, swagger and even poetry, they are one of the apparent and rightful heir of Britain's long line of rock royalties.

Best track: 

LaFee Verte also known as The Green Fairy is a sophisticated drug that easily gets you high. It starts with what seemed like beautiful insect noises and progresses into a drum driven musing that shifts from indie to neo-psychedellia from verse to another. It then swiftly fades with another set of gallactic sounds after a mindlessly longing "na na na".

Can be a soundtrack to:

Between four and five in the morning when you havent slept for twelve hours and you already had three mugs of coffee.

This album isnt much of a creativity inducing though it is in itself is already a work of creativity.

Also during substance intoxication when you just want to drift away.

Stars: Four!
