I first heard this album “LONESOME DREAMS” from Lord Huron which was primarily a solo project of Ben Schneider early last year probably via the Songsforaday.com site its am immediate grower couldn’t stop playing the album . its full of mid west imagery beautifully sung from a superb band of musicians. The band have had three EP’s to date.

Temples Live on KEXP with songs… Sun Structures, Move with the Season, Keep in the Dark, A Question Isnt Answered, Shelter Song, the young band from Northampton have made one of the best albums this year, shimmering guitars and kalediscopic keyboards bright pop melodies

Arty Rock Montreaul outfit BLOOD AND GLASS spearheaded by Lisa IwanYcki Moore whose songs started out as late night lullabies and her first official music video , A song quietly mournful and from her darker side, but I love the Choral drama of it all.Check out her other project CREATURE with Arianna Moffatt, hope we see and hear more soon.

“Its a Monday its a mundane” and “shes clever because she stops people dying”, there are some awesome lines in this songs from Australian singer songwriter Courtney Barnett this track is taken from the double EP “A sea of Split Peas” , just listen to the lyrics Awesome song.
