Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Moats & boats & waterfalls,
Alleyways and pay phone calls,
I’ve been everywhere with you.

We laugh until we think we’ll die,
barefoot on a summer night,
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you.

Stop staring out the window at the wind and rain and turn on some music and remember that it's summer. Or at least it's supposed to be. Maybe Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros can help with that.

This cheery summertime track is off Up From Below, the band's first full length album released last summer. Below is their new video for Home.

Home - LCD Soundsystem

If you're afraid of what you need
Look around you,
You're surrounded,
It won't get any better.

This Is Happening picks up right where Sound of Silver left off in 2007. James Murphy has given us nine new fresh tracks that blend fuzzy synths, drum rolls and his reflective lyrics all into one fantastic album. This Is Happening is set for release next week.

This particular track is eight minutes of happiness that remind me of one of my LCD favourites, All My Friends.

The National - Hannah Georgas

What about love,
What about you,
What about me,
Say hello,
Say good-bye,
To what we used to be.

Newmarket-raised, Vancouver-based Hannah Georgas released her debut album, This Is Good, last week. As winner of the 2009 CBC Radio 3 Bucky Award for "Best New Artist", everyone seems to agree Georgas has talent. With confident, quirky pop her songs have been heard on everything from a Wal-Mart commercial to shows like Heroes, Degrassi–The Next Generation, Flashpoint and Peak Season. Her album has something for everyone and this fearless artist is worth checking out before everyone knows her name.
