An Anthem For The Optimistic, Pt. 2

The Landing

Now here's an album you might need your tin foil hat on for. The Landing contemplates our place in the Universe and what it means to be an optimist through soothing piano, light + airy lyrics, and beat switch-ups to call home about. If you trust the minds behind Album Daily... for all that is good... please listen to "Billion, with a B" for one of the most creative songs we've ever posted. If you enjoyed Pt. 2, you can make your way over to An Anthem for the Optimistic, Pt 1. (pairs nicely with a UFO documentary).

American Love Call

Durand Jones & The Indications

Mmmm mmmm MMMM. This is groovy. American Love Call has got soul, it's got strings, it's got wow-wow's, it's there for you when you're sad, and it's there for that very moment you see your boo after a long trip. The fun part is that this band is all in their 20's! Kudos to them for beautifully capturing the feeling of early 70's soul. Mmmhmmm.

Color Blind

Pluko

Buckle up folks, this one’s a trip. Pluko is an independent artist on the leading edge of the next generation of electronic producers. He layers his own vocals over synthy new-school beats to produce a complete project that has a track or two for everyone. It's mostly vibrant, upbeat, and ethereal - yet at times can be abrupt and challenging. What I love most, is that it just has this feel of a teenager messing around with a beat pad for hours on end. If you like a more polished sound, start first with “used to” and “your skin” … if you like it slow and low, check out “isittoogoodtobetrue?” and “I hope its not goodbye” … and if you’re ready to dial it up, peep “reality distortion” and “rainbow”.

Joie de Vivre

Casual Vice

When asked what listeners should take away from their upcoming EP, Casual Vice responded "let music be your guide - bring thoughtfulness, romance, and ceremony to everything you do, even if you’re fooling yourself a little bit." And what an awesome thought that is. This Southern California duo is comprised of two former indie-band frontmen, Kyle Krone and Brandon Hoogernboom. Now, they are joining forces to deliver an optimistic message of promise and purpose in their second project, Joie de Vivre. If the first two sun-kissed singles, "Instead" and "Antihero" were any indication of the quality of the project, the remaining tunes will be must-listen - check them out Friday!
