WHATEVERLAND//The Washboard Abs

 WHATEVERLAND is an album of heartbreak and love (but mostly heartbreak) that's expressed through an acoustic bedroom-pop sound. With quiet repetitions and rhymes they capture the muddled feeling of confusion one feels when being left behind, and the lost restlessness of being recently out of  a relationship. My favorite track is constant, which is the only one off this record that has to do with falling in love/envisioning a future with someone. Its drenched in worn seaside nostalgia, shown in lyrics such as "in so much more than memory//I feel you standing next to me" and "and in this city by the sea//I've found a life that I can lead". Despite how depressed the songs meanings are they can also come off as gently upbeat positive songs, which I think is really nicely shown when they sing "that there are tangerine skies//awaiting our failing eyes". This Alaskan/Coloradan band is definitely worth the listen, and while not on Spotify their music is up for free download on Bandcamp!

Songs of the Week//13-02-2015//Oops

I haven't written in a while which is stupid and I'm sorry, and this post is just a songs of the week so it's not even the best thing, but I promise I'll have more reviews soonish.

Be My Baby//The Ronettes

I watched Dirty Dancing for the first time this week, so this was an obvious choice. Watching it added to this summer feeling I've been craving which is weird because I used to always think fall/winter was my thing but now it just seems to be all about summer?

Invisible//Dandelion Hands

Dandelion Hands is the perfect depressing teenager band, who unfortunately just broke up and took their music off Spotify spurring the break of my heart. My favorite song by them is "if the sun has the strength to rise every morning why can't i get out of bed". 

Every Little Step//Bobby Brown

We watched this video in history to satisfy my teachers nostalgic needs and then it get stuck in my head and now its my go to feel good song. 

Put Your Number in my Phone//Ariel Pink

Nostalgic-seeming pop about succesfully? getting someones phone number 

Jessica//Adam Green

"Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone, it's not in your music" - a clear classic

Talk Soon!
