Hello everyone! I have been very busy with school these past couple months, have been without my own computer, and it has all been exhausting. Hopefully it all pays off at the end of the semester, which is approaching very quickly! Thursday of this week is my last day of classes until my Spring Break starts. My wonderful boyfriend Bo and I will be visiting my grandma in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, and it is going to be amazing just to relax for the week. With that being said, here are my songs of the week for everyone who is already on Spring Break and everyone else out there counting down the minutes.
1. Ungirthed by Purity Ring

This song is not new by any means, but it is still catchier than ever. I adore this band, and they are awesome live. We saw them at Bonnaroo last summer and were blown away by how much she sounded like herself on the album, voice alterations and all. Very cool band that I have many fond memories attached to.
2. Stand Still (feat. Micky Green) [Wave Racer Remix] by Flight Facilities

This may just be the happiest song I've heard in months. Seriously. If you clicked play on this video and are currently listening and do not have a smile on your face, then you are wrong haha. Really though, Wave racer does some amazing things with adorable sounds, especially water/raindrops, and that's all you really need to draw me in!

3. I. the worst guys(feat. Chance the Rapper) by Childish Gambino

Yes, Childish Gambino again. He deserves it. This song is so chill, and the video fits the vibe perfectly. My favorite part about this video is when they are in the ocean and the camera is underwater. The music is muffled whilst underwater, but returns to normal above water. It's little quirks like this that make me appreciate a music video.

4. Mirror Maru by Cashmere Cat

Boy oh boy this song has been constantly playing in my head for day. Cashmere Cat's style is so quirky and unique, which naturally I was drawn to. I love the squeaky chair and syncopated beats are to die for.
5. Say That by Toro y Moi

SO GROOVY. I mean really. This used to play at rue21 when I worked there, but was just recently shown to me again by a friend. Everything about this is great. The video, the beats, and especially those glasses.

I hope you all enjoy these tunes! Are you on spring break now? Make sure you leave a comment about any exciting plans you may have!

It's been a long time coming! So let's dive on into what I've been listening to lately.

1. Disclosure- You & Me (Flume Remix)

This song has been on repeat everywhere I go. I absolutely can not get enough of it. My favorite place to listen to it would have to be my car though. Feeling the bass is one of my favorite things about any kind of music. And then theres the video. I mean come on. It's all just perfect.

2. Childish Gambino-  V. 3005

Gambino's new album, because the internet, was a fresh, new kind of Gambino. And I must say I really love this Gambino. We saw him at Bonnaroo in 2012 and he was amazing then, which makes me very intrigued to see this album performed. This video is very simple, yet very beautiful. I didn't even notice the bear moving throughout the video until I watched it a second time. Nicely done.

3. Sky Ferreira- You're Not The One

I have followed Sky on Instagram for a lot longer than I have listened to her music. I was not expecting her music to be what it is, and boy was I hooked. I love anything that is reminiscent of the late 80's, early 90's, and she captures that nostalgia perfectly. And the fact that she will be on the BANGERZ tour makes me love her even more! 

4. Odd Future- Rella

oh, Odd Future, what have you done? I AM OBSESSED. I can't stop listening to them. Everyday. All of them. There is so much involved with their lyrics, inside jokes, and different personalities, that it is easy to get sucked in quickly. I must say BRAVO. They get it. They do not care what other people think WHATSOEVER. Their weird charm has won me over.

5. Earl Sweatshirt- Whoa

Again with the Odd Future. Earl's album "Doris" is beautiful in my opinion. His poetic flow sets him apart from other rappers. He uses peculiar words and knows what words work for him. Until you can sit down and listen carefully to his lyrics, you haven't really listened to Earl.

I have kind of been stuck in a rut when it comes to new music, but I'm about to start sorting through all the artists that Spotify keeps annoyingly emailing me about every single week to try to find something fun and new!
