whinnie williams#5. Whinnie Williams – Sorry Now

soundcloud.com/whinniewilliams

If this doesn’t stick in your head, you aren’t human. Painfully catchy chorus.

aquilo#4. Aquilo – Seagull

soundcloud.com/aquilo

Aquilo returns this week (or last week) with Seagull – another in their long line of standout pop tracks.

bravestation#3. Bravestation – Gemini

soundcloud.com/bravestation

Came across Bravestation this past week through a release of another song (which just mayyyyy be featured next week). Doing my “listen to every track by a new band ever” routine, Gemini stuck out as probably my favorite of all their tracks. Something real charming about this.

tom misch#2. Tom Misch Feat. Loyle Carner- Water Baby

soundcloud.com/tommisch

There’s something about Tom Misch’s voice and sound that is incredibly calming. While I do love the verse brought by Loyle Carner, I can’t but help to do a couch wiggle to the soft vocals of Tom.

drake#1. Drake – Nice For What

soundcloud.com/octobersveryown

Stupid catchy Drake. I swear to god I don’t know how he does it. He just has this knack for producing music that is irresistible. I will say that this track has worn on me a bit since the first listen (which literally had me thinking it was going to be top track of 2018 after 1 play). Just gotta learn the lyrics of this bad boy so I can sing along while I bust a move.

Songs of the Week 157: April 1 – April 7

harrison brome#5. Harrison Brome – 9 to 5

soundcloud.com/harrisonbrome

Harrison Brome is a name to keep an eye on. He’s been at it for a few years now, but he’s one of those acts that seems perpetually on the brink of breaking out big time.

golden features#4. Golden Features – Falling Out

soundcloud.com/golden-features

Can’t help but think of Daft Punk anytime I see an act wearing a mask and making any type of electronic music (altho I guess kids these days will now think of Deadmau5). Really love the chorus, and with each listen I find myself more and more into this track. Something about the stop/start in any dance track just gets me going.

altopalo#3. Altopalo – Frozen Away

soundcloud.com/altopalomusic

One of the best band names ever. I actually now routinely forget which is the band name and which is the city name. As for the track – if you like off-kilter indie rock, then you’ll definitely be into this. Gotta give it a good 1:30 as well, because that’s when the song really comes into its own.

#2. Lou Val Feat. Johnny Yukon – Fast

soundcloud.com/vavaval

Loving what I’m hearing from Lou Val, and Fast is easily the track I keep coming back to. Another guy from Toronto just killing it!

#1. AOBeats Feat. Mark Johns & Robokid – Peanut Butter

soundcloud.com/aokamura

Being unique in music is a tough job. A lot of what goes big and makes the money is basically just formulas. That’s why I get excited anytime I hear something that just sounds different. Enter AOBeats + friends and Peanut Butter. It eschews the traditional type of “verse/hook/chorus” stock formula and is just a ride of sweet beats and catchy as hell.
