Each and every week we put together our favorite tracks that had premiered a few days prior into one magnificent mixtape to share with you and your friends. This time around we've decided to share new songs from Charlie XCX, Boots, Prawn, Perfume Genius and more right here!
Maybe one of the coolest collaborations this year has to be between Sia and Beck. Both artists have taken over 2014 with great new albums, but this week they treated us to the song "Moonquake Lake." Appearing on the Annie movie soundtrack, this new track makes us want these two to write a Broadway musical together!
This week, Perfume Genius released a great new bonus track to 2014's Too Bright entitled "Thing." Thought the title is pretty simple, the song itself is everything you'd want from this outspoken performer. Talent, sexuality and desire are all on display in this amazing number.
RIYL: he's one of a kind
Nashville indie-rockers Bandit won us over with their newest track "Brain" this week. We can't wait for more songs that remind us of the golden age of indie, just like this song!
RIYL: The Cranberries, Rainer Maria
Check out First Aid Kit covering Simon and Garfunkel's "America," Marissa Nadler covering Elliott Smith's "Pitseleh," Boots covering St. Vincent's "Cheerleader," and Ben Gibbard covering ALVVAYS's "Archie, Marry Me."
Charlie XCX definitely caught our attention this weekend at the American Music Awards, but she also debuted one of the catchiest songs of the year last week. "Breaking Up" is a great pop-rock number that is sure to add some edge to Pop radio for months to come!
RIYL: The Cars, Gwen Stefani, The Bangles
Listen to this new track HERE!
We just showed you a great cover from recording artist Boots, but check out his latest track "Only" too! Debuting this week, this scorcher of a number is hauntingly beautiful.
RIYL: Radiohead, old Coldplay
Prawn is a band that should absolutely be on your radar. Soaring musicianship and intriguing source material makes for a tremendous new slow burner in "Built For."
RIYL: Appleseed Cast, Elliott
