When asleep I dream of a pink colored sky in my rearview
Swedish "DIY pop" band, Tella Viv released an infectious EP last year. This is my favorite song from them/that release. Not sure if we'll get more... the threesome is down to two recently, as one member left to pursue his other artistic goals. So it goes in the young indie space.

If you were to die before me
I hope you haunt me forever
And if I were to die before you
Yeah I'm gonna haunt you forever, with clever puns, yeah
Pacific NW peeps coming at you with a new album and a sound that is so familiar, yet distinct. Clever intertwining guitars and vocal harmonies, with a good measure of pop sensibility and a dash of indie cynicism. If you like this, you should definitely check out the rest of A Future, and their previous album Death By Proxy (it feels a little harder edged than this one, but in a good way).
RIYL: Modest Mouse, Day Wave, Tipling Rock, The Shins, Cold War Kids
My carpet smells like beer forever, forever
If all the people dressed like sheeple
There would be no color, no color
Those are my people
There would be no color, no color
Those are my people
My first thought upon hearing Cherry Glazerr, was something along the lines of "damn, this reminds me of The Donnas." That's a very good thing. It'd been awhile since I'd listened to The Donnas, but they're a lot of fun. Turns out Cherry Glazerr may have less in common with The Donnas than they do with acts like Honeyblood, Diet Cig and La Sera, but, hey, that's cool too. Their latest album, Apocalipstick, is fantastic and much more diverse than I'd originally expected with quite a few stand outs.
RIYL: The Donnas, Diet Cig, Honeyblood, La Sera, Japanese Breakfast
