WIM - WIM

Hailing from Australia, WIM released their self-titled album back in May of this year in Australia. The album is now being released in North America on the 15th of November. WIM has been receiving lots of love for this album in Australia so I think it is time we heard it here. They are described by the LA Times as "Rufus Wainwright fronting Grizzly Bear."
Some of my favorite tracks from the album are Colossus, See You Hurry, Something for You, In The Morning and Monster and Me.

Video: Bon Iver - "Holocene"

If you are follower of indie music on the interweb, there is a good chance you have seen the video for Bon Iver's "Holocene", which is, in my opinion the best song from the new self-titled album. Check out the video below which features a little boy exploring the vast and breathtaking landscape of Iceland.

Young the Giant

Young the Giant, is a indie band out of California (like most of them are) that I came across a little while ago and I just recently got more into their self-titled album that was re-released in January of this year. They have a good balance of sounds on this album. The first single released was "My Body" which I would call their stadium ready rock song but nonetheless it doesn't sound forced and I think you will find yourself sing along to this one. The new single is "Apartment" and was release in February, it is not the anthem that "My Body" is, but I think it shows a little more depth of who Young the Giant are. The entire is available below via soundcloud. Enjoy!
