Music for 2013 Part 1

Music To Get Your Ears Ringing with Excitement for 2013

Toro Y Moi - Still Sound, Underneath The Pine 2011

Toro Y Moi

The third album from Toro Y Moi, the moniker of solo musician-slash-producer Chaz Bundick, is much more soulful and R&B influenced than his last chillwave cut Underneath the Pine. Regardless, you can expect Anything in Return to be every bit as repeat-worthy (and even more dance-able!). I'm new Toro's music, and his soulful chill out beats are made for relaxing on any sun drecnched day this summer.

Beach Fossils - Adversity, What A Pleasure 2011

Beach Fossils

Beach Fossils' first album was full of surf infused pop perfect for a sunny summer If the first single off the new Clash the Truth is any indication, this effort is sure to bring more jangly jams that'll make you want to hit the beach—stat.

Charli XCX - You're The One

Charli XCX

The Lovely Charlotte Aitchison, better known as English pop star Charli XCX, is a one woman showstopper with a wicked sense of style and music that makes you want to dance like a loon. Her brand, of new wave dance music  a sentiment confirmed by Santigold and Coldplay, whom she toured with prior to releasing a full-length record.
