New to me and old to you, Weekly Obsessions round 2.2


Lately, I have been way into a few sweet lovers, namely Mirah (2nd cutest girl on K Records), Final Fantasy (incredibly incredible stringed indie music that "oh my god are they really gonna team up with Beirut and send me into musical heaven??!"), and a few Sub Pop singles which belong to a collection that is exceptionally amazing. Also, if you're into new to you and not new to me: Mancino, who use cute Islands-esque whistles as their song opens up but don't shy away from using that scary ah-ah-ah sound that Animal Collective brought to us on Feels. Also, Mother Mother, who are kind of cute thanks to their girl-boy vocalists who sing about under the sea. The guy sounds like Of Montreal's Kevin Barns and the girl sounds like a mix between Joanna Newsom and Regina Spektor. Also known as really quirky nice. This song is much recomended.

Mirah // Person Person
Final Fantasy // This is the Dream of Win and Regine
Mountain Goats // Store
Mountain Goats // Jam Eater Blues
Bonnie "Prince" Billy // Let's Start a Family
