Family of The Year- St. Croix

(Picture above). This is a song I really love by my friend Joe's band Family of the Year. It kind of reminds me of Beach House if Beach House's lyrics were a little more childlike and playful. Its fun, good times music and it makes me smile. Listen

here.

Teen Inc - Swear

Excellent musicianship and songwriting from brothers Daniel and Andrew Aged. They seem to wear their influences on their sleeve (Prince, Brothers Jonhson, Womack and Womack, etc.) while putting a twist on it that is distinctly their own. Listen

here.

Kisses - Kisses

Jesse from Princeton's side project, Kisses that he has with his girlfriend Zinzi. it's easy and kind of a 80's-pastel-colored-summer tune, which fits perfect for a day like this, where the sun is shinning, it's 25 celcius and it's mid-January. The sound kinda like a LA-version of Whitest Boy Alive. Listen
