Indie Mix Tape 2

I had this on the back burner for a long while... well, since last summer in fact when we came up with the first mix tap. We sure do love procrastinating around here. So here's volume two of our awesome indie compliation. Better late than never. It's a mix of everything we liked back then, stuff we like now and a few other random things we've come across in between, but mostly is bands we've seen and liked.

Last week's poll says people have all their music on their computer... Really? All of it? Today's photo is by owlbookdreams... A very talented person from Canadaland.

So Very, Very Most

Ok, again we let our concentration lapse. We go to the gigs, we talk about the musics, and yet we don't write any of it down. Time to dust the cobwebs off the ol' blog, and see if this thing still works.



So, today is new band time. The Very Most. Idaho's best indie pop band, even if they do think all the best bands come from Scotland (they're right though). Happy go-lucky indie pop so make you feel good inside. There's a unique mix of folksy acoustic guitars and funky synths. To quote the Boise Weekly, "Most songs are in a major key and tend to bounce around like a carefree child in an inflatable carnival jumping house".

Oh, the Boise Weekly can be oddly specific at times. A Year With The Very Most, a compilation of their last four EPs was released a few weeks ago. Go listen to it here! If you live in Dublin you can find it in Road Records, or if you live in Boise you can find it in The Record Exchange.
