YEASAYER - "HENRIETTA"

Genre: Neo-Psych Pop

Description: The beginning of the song puts me in a future disco where everyone is wearing fake neo-future clothing. Either I, as the main character of my music driven fantasy, am looking for a hot neo-future lady in the crowd or I'm being stalked by something in the crowd and don't know it. Because there's this dark undertone to the song and lyrics. A little OK Computer exploration in the middle mixed with some classic orchestra feel. When Henrietta's name is invoked, the song moves into this sexy/dreamy mode that I dig and just want to play on repeat forever. - James

CHEERS ELEPHANT - "LEAVES"

Dubbed, “Chew it up, Spit it out, Rock and Roll”, Cheers Elephant is a raw, rootsy, psychedelic pop rock quartet from Philadelphia, PA. Digging deep into three part harmonies and arranging songs that’ll make your dad’s toe tap, your mom’s hip shake, and your sister’s heart throb. With a live show channeling David Bryne, animal of the muppets, and far-out impulses equivalent to evangelicals speaking in tounge. - Facebook Bio. ENjO!

TALKFINE- "CAN'T WAIT TO SAY NO" & "SUGAR DADDY"

Is it Tuesday yet (May 8th)? This is when TalkFine release their debut album Lesser Known Hits.This band can do no wrong in my mind. Even when they slow things down, they still get me groovin'. This song has less of a TGIF theme songs vibe (which I mean in the best way possible, cause TGIF meant you were about to have a good time) and more of a Stevie Wonder vibe as Pasta Primavera put it. Lesser Known Hits has the potential of becoming my favorite album of 2012 and I've only heard 3 songs. Please don't let me down TalkFine. And please oh please, play some shows in Brooklyn soon!

Crap, mid post I check their Facebook page and find another song "Sugar Daddy". So, make that 4 for 4. ENjO! And go over and preorder Lesser Known Hits immediately!

RAC - "HOLLYWOOD" (FEATURING PENGUIN PRISON)

From humble beginnings in a dorm room at Southern Illinois' Greenville College, RAC (aka André Allen Anjos) has steadily grown a dedicated dance music fan base with methodical and catchy remixes that stay true to the original songs. In "Hollywood (featuring Penguin Prison)", fans have the opportunity to hear the very first track that RAC created from scratch. With a chorus that you can't forget and strong vocals from Penguin Prison's Chris Glover, the track is the perfect debut from Anjos.
