Music Under Fire

From the spacey pop of The Bird and The Bee to the always in-motion serenading of Duncan Sheik, the releases of January 27th sent a feel good shiver down our spines; one which we hope we can transfer to our iPods soon enough.

Focused on softly drifting lyrics and ballads, Peasant, Strand of Oaks and several other artists continue this easy listening trend that fit effortlessly into a winter night's evening.

Shaking with a more 'dance around the flames' persona, is Of Montreal's John Brion Remix EP. If Of Montreal's electric blue retakes doesn't heat things up enough, then the amorous pop of France's Yelle or the Swedish pizazz of Loney, Dear will fill that gap. Enjoy.
