Another Monday. Another start of a new week. And another list of amazing new music. As I’ve recently been adding more and more new music and new songs onto my list on Spotify, I thought I’d share the best ones with you guys.
.
First of all you guys know that I’m mostly into indie pop/rock songs, so my list basically only consists of indie music and indie bands like Cage The Elephant, Foster The People and Nothing But Thieves. Most of the songs are upbeat and happy, but of course I could never write a list of songs without adding one of Eds. But I’ll let the songs do the rest of the talking. I hope you like them, please enjoy.

So, there you go guys. Those are some of my favorite songs right now. Most of them are pretty new too, I’m really curious to see if some of you already know them. So please don’t hesitate to leave a comment down below. And until then I wish you all an amazing week and hope that you enjoyed this post. And, as always, thanks for reading. x
First of all happy easter holidays everybody. I hope you’re all having amazing days off and could spent some wonderful time with your loved ones. I did, thankfully.
.
But this post won’t be dedicated to a bunny laying chocolate eggs in our gardens, but to a fantastic band I’ve already talked about pretty often. So I’m quite sure you’ll all know it by now. But to bring an end to all your questions, I’m talking about my beloved band Fall Out Boy.
.
For me, FOB is a band that will always have a place in my heart and some space on my sd-card, just because I love their music so much. The first time I got to know this band was actually in 2013, when I went to the cinema to watch “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters”. The movie starts of with some sort of turnier scene, while FOBs song “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” is playing in the background. The movie was amazing, but somehow it was the song that kept stuck in my head, I just couldn’t forget about it. And so I googled and googled and googled some more until I finally found it. And that’s where my love for FOB has its beginning. Since then the band and their music has been following me throughout the days. And I don’t mind it at all.
.
If I had to name my favorite song of them, I’d probably start with one song and then just name every single one of them. And that’s the special thing about the band, I just really love everything they do.
.
But in the past few weeks one album of theirs has stuck out of the crowd – Folie à deux. The title literally transaltes to “shared madness”, which is, at least for me, a quite funny aspect of the album. The LP itself is quite old, published in December 2008, but still as awesome as before. Maybe some of you have already given it a listen or love it just as much as me. Or maybe some of you don’t know the album or the band at all. In any cases, I can just highly recommend you listening to it if you’re a fan of indie/punk rock.
.
Personally, I have three total favorites of the album:
Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes
What a Catch, Donnie
20 Dollar Nose Bleed
.
Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes actually had me having a little throwback the first time I heard the studio version, because that was the exact song I couldn’t recognize at the FOB gig at Reading festival. And I’ve been totally in love with it since then. I actually found the Reading live version on YouTube, so enjoy…
.
And let’s be honest, What a Catch, Donnie is a pure masterpiece. It’s a song where you can clearly hear the huge talent of the band and Patrick, the lead singer. His vocals are breathtaking, seriously.
.
And last but not least, 20 Dollar Nose Bleed. You all know how big of a fan I am of Panic! at the disco and just to my luck, Brendon is actually featured in this song. That makes it even more perfect than what it already is. And another fun fact, Brendon also has a small appearance in the video for What a Catch (tell me if you could spy him).
.
So yeah, those are my three favorites of the album, please enjoy. And please don’t hesitate to tell me your opinion on the album, I’m really curious. It’s quite sad, because I don’t really often meet someone who’s a fan of FOB too, so I’d be superhappy to be able to talk to some of you guys out there.
.
And as always, I hope you enjoyed this post and are all doing well and had an amazing weekend. And thanks for reading. x
You know, when spring has finally arrived and the sun is shining and we can leave the scarves at home, it’s time for a little change in music too.
.
And today I’d like to introduce you to a band I’ve now been a fan of for years. And it looks like they are ready for a change too and just brought out a new single. And I can tell you, this is the spring/summer song of the year – at least it is for me.
.
Honestly, I don’t even know how to describe this band to you. They are an indie band (of course they are) from Australia. But they’re not like the typical indie band. They use synthetizers and sometimes their songs can get really really funky, like they just jumped out of the 70s or 80s.
.
I got to know them in 2015 when my mum and me were planning our trip to Washington. And as always I was looking for a concert there, because we always try to visit a concert in our holidays. That has become some kind of tradition. And I mean, today it has kind of turned around. We don’t look for a concert when we are on a vacation. We find a concert months before and then plan our trips kind of around it. Crazy, I know.
.
So and when I was looking for concerts in Washington, I found this band called San Cisco and gave them a listen. And I looooved it. Unfortunately they had their concert on the exact day we left to fly home again, so yeah. What a pity.
.
But that didn’t stop me from being a fan of them. And so I continued to listen to their music and checking for new tours and so on. You maybe even know them, either because they usually get their spot on my music lists or because they are just freaking amazing and you eventually couldn’t get past them.
.
Their song “Awkward” is like the widest known one. If you’re thinking of an indie pop song, this song is what you’re probably picturing. It can’t get any more indie than this (here’s the link). Actually, the video is pretty weird too, so I’d really recommend you watching it. Oh and please let me hear your opinions, I’m really curious.
.
Another song and probably my favorite is “Fred Astaire”, which is really about this dance guy. I especially like this one because it’s more on the rock-ish side and hey, I’d never say no to a good indie song with a nice beat and guitar (here the link). It’s one of those songs who always put a smile on my face and get me in a superhappy mood.
.
But back to their new song – “Hey, did I do you wrong”. This one just came out last week and I really really love it. It starts of with an amazing guitar piece, which immediately throws me into a happy mood and thoughts of the sun and the beach and pure happiness. But actually the lyrics themselves aren’t even that positive, so here’s to sad songs that sound happy (yes, I’m looking at you Ed…). And if you check out the video for the song, it totally completes the thoughts of vacation and the beach as it shows exactly that (here’s the link for that one too).
.
So yeah, this is one of the songs I’ve been loving at the moment. The perfect song for the perfect weather. If any of you are into indie pop music, please don’t hesitate to give this band a go. And I’d really like to hear what you think about them if you do, of course. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x
