Coucheron - Loud

| Kerri

Our hearts are in search of the light
Our goal is to keep holding tight
The ferries let go by the night
Our minds aren't thinking the same
We look back on all that is lame
Our spotlight is waiting for fame

And the morning seems too far
As we fly across the sky
What it means is that we die
And the evening never ends
As we hold each others hands
We don't need more

'Cause we are loud

Coucheron is 1/5th of the actual given name of this Norwegian electronic music producer. I read that he won a grammy for his work with Kehlani, and that reminded me it has been a while since I've posted something like this. We're well past the hump of this week, tomorrow is Friday, open your windows and turn this up loud.

Infinitefreefall - Beautiful People

| Kerri

Five steps away from you feels like an eternity
Something about you just says you won't get close to me
And i start to feel claustrophobic from everyone in my sight
It's like every single perfect person is in this city tonight 

All these beautiful people under these flashing lights
I swear i'll be one of them on one of these nights 

Stay alive til the weekend comes
Forget your name and fall in love
I want to be just like you 

I really like this song and have been waiting for a time to post it. It's ambient chill seems perfect for a Spring Sunday afternoon. I haven't been able to come up with much info about L.A.-based Maxton Stenstrom (aka infinitefreefall) so just sip your iced tea and listen.

Au/Ra - Kicks

| Kerri
Handprints in the concrete
They run, they run, like
Young birds with the red cheeks
Always
Barefoot on the sea glass
Sharp ones, sharp ones, they
Don't learn when they cut class

What's dust to you is gold to me
(Gold to me)
But we're just different books to read
Where every single chapter
Is another cliffhanger

Last year at SXSW, I fell in love with the music (and adorableness) of Norwegian singer Aurora. This year I'm anticipating a similar reaction to a similar-named singer from a very different place (Antigua; Ibiza-born), and a very different sound. Hoping to catch her at one of the showcases she's in next week.

The Chain Gang 0f 1974 - Sleepwalking

| Kerri
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Visions of better times
Kingdoms and lilac wine
Why did God fail
To improve us
Teardrops of acid rain
Burning down through my veins
Can't I just sleep for now
Now
Despite my fears
I dance for you
And did what others knew

Kamtin Mohager says this was the first song he recorded for the 2014 (first major studio) album for Chain Gang of 1974, Daydream Forever, but the people behind Grand Theft Auto V approached him around the same time and he was stoked to have this new song be such a big part of that release. Cool story, and cool that he's having continued success with that big bump in exposure. I was excited to see his band perform at SXSW this year, hopefully! (Though announced, I can't find them on the schedule?!?) Also, had to pick this song for today's Most Important because I'm dealing with the sleepwalking-effect of jet lag having returned to the U.S. last night. I just love it when I can pick out a song title or lyric that's on the nose. Such a nerd.

Vanic feat. Maty Noyes - Too Soon

| Kerri
Gotta get myself out of this town
Cause we got a lot a history
And if I don't get away, I might drown
In a sea of haunting memories
Everybody wants to know what happened
Cause they thought that we were meant to be
And I'm sorry I don't have an answer
But people always asking me

Vancouver B.C. dance music creator Vanic is breaking his way into the mainstream with this one. (Okay, he already went viral with "Samurai" last year, but I feel like this is the track that's going to get on the regular FM stations, which I'm sure still matters because it's like free advertising = increased ticket sales, premium festival spots, and chances to produce with people like Selena Gomez or her ex bf = $$$$). Yes, you can count on me for the occasional injection of pure dance music onto TMIS. Have a fun Saturday night, y'all!
