Wilderado - Bottoms

| Kerri
Speak up now, I know you said it before
Why don't you say it again but louder
I hate it that it takes a load from my back
That you never even needed at all

Can we meet at the bottom?
Can we call that home?
Can we both admit that we're just not fit
To be alone? 
We come here alone

Formerly calling themselves Bird Dog (two earlier EPs that have been re-released under the new name), Wilderado (Google does NOT like that spelling) are currently on tour with Judah & The Lion (whom I find ridiculously overrated), grinding it out on the road and releasing several singles over the past year, all of which I adore. Not sure what else to say about these four dudes based out of L.A. but I'm so happy that Spotify helped me discover them! Oh, and their videos are totally lo-fi throw backs, kinda fun.

Communist Daughter - Roll a Stone

| Keith
Before we start
I started to roll a stone
To break your heart
And make heartbreak your home

I don't know much about Communist Daughter. They're named after a Neutral Milk Hotel song. They're a folksy indie rock band in the vein of what I call "band geek" bands like Cloud Cult and Anathallo. I've been listening to them quite a bit the last week or so and think they're pretty great.

Wild Child - Fools

| Keith
So you ask me how I'm on fire
All I do is turn around and smile
Baby girl not everyone can fly

I'm not sure if Wild Child has lived up to their past hype yet, but they're a damn fine band making damn fine indie/pop/folk music. Their latest 2015's Fools, is one of those albums that you can just put on and expect everyone to enjoy. For me, it the complex arrangements and upbeat vibes. Terrific first thing to kick off your week music. Happy Monday!

RYIL: Lucius, The Head and The Heart, Ra Ra Riot, Company of Thieves
