Hey all, so this show featured some of my favourite songs of the year. PEPA KNIGHT, is an australian guy who is also in the band Jinja Safari.”Rahh” is my personal tip to make waves this summer with it’s dreamy vocals and hooks aplenty. Almost as good is “Who Knows” from BEGINNERS. They are from LA, but they sound just like they were born and bred in Sweden, as the overload of scando-pop is as blatant as a shovel to the face. It sounds exactly like Tove Lo (super swedish pop princess) and Beginners recently supported her on tour so it all makes sense. Also we have “Jimi Savannah” from M&O which I haven’t stopped listened to since I discovered it on a random canadian music blog. These guys are 2 albums into their music career, so there is alot to catch up on, but this tune is a good place to start. It’s the story of a pretty messed up situation where a jealous girl quizzes her boyfriend about his intentions with another girl who also has a boyfriend. I think that’s what its about, I’m not sure because I’m distracted with how gorgeous it sounds. Here are some of the other songs I played!
