New Music – February 2017

Hey guys! I just wanted to share my favorite albums on rotation right now and why I love them.

1. The 1975- i like it when you sleep for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it

There’s totally an 80’s vibe to this album, and if you haven’t already listened to it, do it. Do it now. It’s fun and happy, but “She Lays Down” makes me cry every time. Matt Healy’s voice can sing any style and it will be amazing.

2. Catfish and the Bottlemen – The Ride

Don’t ask me why I love brit-alternative, it will take too long. This album is dripping with fantastic singles, and I always turn it up loud.

3. U2 – The Joshua Tree

I bought this vintage album (circa 1987) because I’m going to see U2 in May, but little did I know that this is one of their greatest albums of all time. It never goes out of style.

Give these a listen, you won’t regret it.

Sincerely

JO

New Music

In case you’re sick of “Cheap Thrills” and “Closer”.

If you like either of those songs, do not continue reading. We’re about to take a trip into the depths of Jordan’s alternative music archives… (preferably British).

Here’s some albums that I’ve been stuck on recently and all the things that I ❤️ about them.

1. The Head and the Heart – Signs of Light

Folksy alternative. Feel good. Happy, but still makes you cry. Lumineers-esque but unique. Cool sleeve on vinyl. (2016)

2. Glass Animals – Life Itself

I don’t like every song on this album, it’s very experimental and occasionally weird… “Premade Sandwiches”. But, “Youth,” “Life Itself,” and “Season 2 Episode 3” are bops. You’ll either love it or hate it… and I love it. (2016)

3. Weezer – White Album

Yes, this band did start in the 90’s, but this is arguably their greatest album ever, and I didn’t know them until this album. Super feel good rock, very Southern California… in-fact like 3 of the songs are about California. I honestly can’t imagine anyone *not* liking this album. (2016)

4. The Lumineers- The Lumineers

I’m sorry, but they will never beat this 2011 album. It just sounds too delicious on vinyl. Also, I get to see them open for U2. Be jealous. (2011)

You’re very welcome. Tell me if you like it, I have more recommendations 😉

XOXO,

Jo
