and Taylor Swift conspiracy theories
and Taylor Swift conspiracy theories
After writing my previous post on the "10 Artists You Should Be Obsessed With" I realized that I had left out some really awesome artists that deserved recognition, so here they are: 1. The Civil WarsThis dynamic duo has unfortunately called it quits not too long ago, but not before releasing some amazing EPs and albums. Their singer/songwriter sound is absolutely magical and completely pure. You may know them from the collaboration they did with Taylor Swift for the song "Safe and Sound" from the first Hunger Games movie. It is probably my favorite Taylor Swift song, and it is clear that these two had a huge hand in the making of that song. If you give these guys a chance, I promise you won't regret it. Songs you probably know by them: - "Poison & Wine" Songs you should know: - "Oh Henry" - "I Had Me A Girl" - "The One That Got Away" 2. The Temper TrapI'm not sure how I didn't put these guys in my first post, I must have had a momentary mind blank. This band is a must-hear for music lovers everywhere. They're songs are all epic and overwhelming with an amazing blend of vocals and instrumentals. I have heard nothing like them before; they are truly one of a kind - and in the best way possible. Songs you probably know by them: none Songs you should know: - "Sweet Disposition" - "Resurrection" - "Drum Song" 3. Walk The MoonThis is one of my favorite bands to listen to during workouts. Their upbeat rhythms are amazing and all-encompassing. They are the perfect indie band to blast on long road trips with all your hipster friends. But don't worry, they have a mix of both fast-paced and more calm songs, so there is sure to be something for everyone. Plus, they certainly are an adorable bunch of boys. Songs you probably know by them: - "Anna Sun" - "Tightrope" Songs you should know: - "Jenny" - "Shiver Shiver" - "Iscariot" 4. A Fine FrenzyI think that a Fine Frenzy is definitely underrated. Personally, I go through phases with her music where I will listen to it all the time then stop for a while, but it's always refreshing when I get back into it. Her pleasant sounding voice isn't anything over unique but very pleasing to listen to and will always leave you satisfied when you hear one of her songs. I feel like her songs are perfect for a hot summer day, if that even makes any sense at all. I think that when you listen to her you will understand. Perhaps it is because her voice kind of reminds me of a peaceful walk through the woods. 5. Bon IverAlright people, before you go around saying "I love Bon Iver! You've got to listen to him!" you need to go onto YouTube and look up a video in when he says his name (which is actually Justin Vernon) because you are probably not saying it right. Bon Iver is one of the absolute most unique sounding artists I have ever come across. For some he is just a little too unique, but for me he is amazing. Granted, he has two kinds of songs: completely organic and untouched magic, and the ones that are full of synthesizers to create a strange effect of the voice. He is in by no means trying to hide the fact that he is using vocal synthesizers, in fact, he is calling attention to them. But those songs are not my favorite. When he sings completely by himself, just him and his guitar his talent shines through and you fall in love. It sounds like he recorded his albums in a little log cabin in the middle of no where....which he did. by himself. Songs you probably know by him: - "Skinny Love" (he's the original singer of this song, you probably know the Birdy version) Songs you should know: - "Blood Bank" - "For Emma" - "Towers" - "Babys" Well, that's all for now! Thank you for reading, Amanda Lucille Song of the DayPreparedness by The Bird and The Bee I want to start listening to this band more because I love this song. Who knows, maybe they'll make it onto the next list I make.
