This Week's Picks: 9/18-9/25

HELLO EVERYONE!

I’d like to start this post by thanking Bastille and Local Natives for blessing my ears with their new records and fueling me through this week. I am OBSESSED! I will keep my ranting short and say I have included my favorite track from each album on this week’s playlist. I hope you enjoy and decide to check the albums out in full if you haven’t already. (Wild World - Bastille, Sunlit Youth - Local Natives)

I know we’ve previously shared the singles from Young The Giant’s recent LP release, Home of the Strange and I am so thrilled to share another! Please forgive me for not saying it sooner, this album is a MASTERPIECE. In my personal opinion, it may be the best album released this year! My dear friend, Christina Casillo beautifully describes the album (way better than I can) in the current issue of Pop To It. Check it out here: https://issuu.com/poptoitmag/docs/poptoit2digital

Though Rostam Batmanglij left Vampire Weekend and hurt me a little — I am incredibly happy he is still creating music and pursuing other projects. I have never been disappointed in a piece of music he has created or collaborated on. He has recently been working alongside former Walkmen frontman, Hamilton Leithauser. This past Monday, the duo performed their single, "A 1000 Times” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Out of their 3 current single releases, “A 1000 Times” is definitely my favorite.

Enjoy this assortment of new and old songs, tell me your favorites, share new tunes with us, etc!! We can’t wait to be back in the studio. SOON-ISH!

-Rebecca
