Album of the Month 5

Album of the Month:


Young The Giant (Self titled album)


This is a really fun, groovy indie rock group that I accidentally discovered over the summer. They played the opening set before Anberlin (though there isn't a similarity between the two of them). Their popular songs "Cough Syrup" and "My Body" are great jammers. PLEASE TO LISTEN TO THIS! (by that poorly worded sentence I mean the whole album...) I think this is a great feel good album as a whole; perfect for a sunny day drive with the windows down, feeling the warm spring wind on your Aviator shaded face. 






Single of the Week:


The Shrine/ An Argument by Fleet Foxes


You can feel the passion in his voice when he hits those higher notes. Beautiful. 
Watch out for the free form jazz at the end of the song; might throw you off a bit.






Quote of the Week:


"'Cause grey is not a compromise - it is the bridge between two sides. 
The shores on which our stubborn land and restless seas collide. 
Grey is not just middle ground, it is a truce that waits to be signed. 
I would even argue that, from where we stand, 
it most represents the color of God's eyes."
