Songs of the Week 164: May 20 – May 26

arty#5. Arty – Rain

soundcloud.com/arty_music

Arty’s always been one of those acts I really wish I’ve seen. Rain isn’t anywhere near the top of my favorites list from him, but it’s an easy-listening anthem track regardless with a nice progression.


joshua worden#4. Joshua Worden – Tennessee

This one is made for headphones. Probably mentioned it before, but one of my dream jobs is to be the person responsible for picking music in a movie. This track sounds perfect for some kind of reflective drive where the main character is reflecting on some life choices.


lanks#3. Lanks – Horoscopes

soundcloud.com/lanksmusic

Lanks’ music sounds like has a really unique way of sounding catchy. It’s not like a typical pop track you’d come across at Starbucks or on the radio. It’s clever catchy.


aquilo#2. Aquilo – The Road Less Wandered

soundcloud.com/aquilo

Brings me back to Aquilo of old. It’s got that signature sound, and the nostalgic feeling of sadness that came with a lot of Aquilo’s earlier stuff. Big fan of the little Western-sounding breakdown as well.


troye sivian#1. Troye Sivan – Bloom

soundcloud.com/troye-sivan

It’s an overall damn fine pop track. I don’t know much about Troye Sivan, but glad I gave it a random listen when I was perusing the new releases from Spotify a few weeks back. Frankly though, I am sold on the track by virtue of the brilliant verses. So smooth and so catchy.
