Luxuries

The softly hypnotizing and consistent vocals in "Luxuries" situate themselves perfectly amongst the gamut of instrumentals, especially the constant 5 guitar notes in the background, to lull you into a pleasant daze. The electronic elements of this one are also super well done and it's an overall relaxing track. This one might help you unwind at the end of a long day.

Better

I could definitely use something that makes me feel better, and this song might just have to do it! Wingtip, who I imagine is totally crushing the sartorial game based off his name referencing his fancy dancing shoes, lets us let go with his most recent "Better." Look at that embrace in the album artwork, does it get any better than a massive hug? I don't think so. This is just a nice, upbeat boogie jam and I love how easily it gets stuck in my head.

You

If anyone else has had a somewhat traumatizing Monday after this weekend (hello, bender).. I can only hope that this song will soothe your soul as much as it has mine. To me it feels kind of like Bon Iver's vocals but Fleet Foxes rhythms/acoustics with electronic elements awesomely swirled in, which brings us to who it actually is: Kyson. His album A Book of Flying will be out April 1, but for now I'm just going to listen to this beautiful track on repeat as I wind down this evening.

On & On

I'm loving this uniquely blended track, the most recent original by naxxos, an Austrian power duo who blew up in 2013 thanks to their banger "New Orleans." This latest one of theirs slows things down a bit and takes a smoother approach with the silky vocals by Chrissy Quadros, but it's a nice steady balance of fast and slow--leaving the song impossible to label as one or the other, which I think is quite cool. I hope to hear more from them soon, but for now this one is just fabulous!

What's Your Sign (Mason's Capricorn Remix)

Of all the hokey things to believe in, I honestly do think astrology has some truth personality-wise. On that note, I don't think I would say yes or no to someone based on what they are, but "what's your sign" has always been a great intro question, right? This track takes the question much further and goes into a straight-up boogie thanks to Mason's sexy house edit (I guess he's a capricorn...). Next time you're out, I would love to hear if that pickup gets you anywhere, but for now I think this track should do the trick.
