Allo Darlin’ – Europe

Three English lads and one Aussie lady make up indie pop band Allo Darlin’. “Europe”, the title track from the band’s forthcoming sophomore LP, is smart, sharp, and just cute enough that you might catch yr Grandma getting down with the song. Look out for “Europe”s great 90’s-influenced Cure-informed melodic lines.

Yuna – Live Your Life (Dorsh Remix)

One of our favorite songs of the year gets a top shelf rework by soccer player/DJ Dorsh. Squarely in that summery cruising-the-coastline zone, Dorsh’s mix is not to be missed.

RAVES FAVE: Blake Miller -Four Leaf Clovr

You may know Blake as the singer in Moving Units. He just dropped a solo EP called Baby Food. One listen to the synth in this intro, and I was hooked. Summer is all about the party, and “Four Leaf Clovr” provides an ideal soundtrack. By Bruce Rave

Jhameel – Walls Down

Jhameel celebrates the ending of the Are You Free series with what else than another great record. The hook on his new encore track “Walls Down” is as infectious as this dude has been proliferous.

Indigo Joseph – In Memoriam

In anticipation of their Lilith EP coming out next weekend, Indigo Joseph have released the new single “In Memoriam” for our listening pleasure. It starts off soulful and deep, but turns up the funk as the song progresses. Indigo Joseph have been owning the local music scene in Regina, Canada for the past year and are ready to show the rest of the continent their unique breed of indie music. They call themselves blues-rock meets folk-funk, but basically they are indescribable until you have seen them live, and even then sometimes you are left without words. By Jon Herriot
