You ran away the hours
You're losing track of time
Thinking about something
Further down the line
What's the point in that?
What's the point in this?
Thinking about something
Further down the lineThese days you used to love
But you are not sure just
What you are thinking of
DCR calling their style "summery south coast indie" makes me smile because they're referring to the English coast which is rarely particularly summery IMO.

You say I make you nervous, well, I feel it double
Why is it so easy? We both know we're in trouble
I'm not so good with in between, but how bad can it really be?
So what, you're here, every day's the weekend
Don't know, don't care, every day's the weekend
Aussie invading our ears again! Alex Lahey is an alt singer/songwriter from Melbourne. She dropped out of music school and onto the charts last year with a debut EP, and her full album I Love You Like A Brother came out out last week to positive reviews. Performing likably catchy tunes with lovable idiosyncrasies, look for her in little clubs all around the US this winter.

I'm afraid they're gonna find you
And there's nothing that I can do
A century of your priceless time
To commit a victimless crime
Vow to caress your rashes
Vow to punish with lashes
You can hide inside my locket
Put a leash on when they walk you
Next year say you didn't want to
Do they chastise you when you stray
Sallow skin and they can't look away
Start a collection of brine
Because all you do is cry
Wood ticks whisper to console you
We've seen and heard a bit about weekend one from ACL and that info has gotten us particularly excited about a few acts, including Canadian electropop duo Crystal Castles tomorrow afternoon. Last year I posted an oldie from the group, today's MIS is from their latest album, Amnesty.

I wish I could fall apart
See how long it takes to get back whole again
Maybe you could break my heart
And I won’t care
Let's keep it going with the rocking Rebecca Ryskalczyk and Bethlehem Steel. "Alt Shells" is one of two awesome tracks available now ("Fig" being the other) from their upcoming album Party Naked Forever.

I like digging holes and, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I hope I won't forget to find them
Cause, I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
I build a home and wait for, someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town
Cause, I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
Continuing the week with another rocking female groove, I present to you Canadian/German/British Alice Merton (if you haven't already heard her a dozen times on your alt station). A sudden darling on my local station, I keep hearing bits of this track when I'm flipping the dial and finally tracked down who/what it was this morning. Hitting the ground running with a solid label (Mom + Pop) behind her, her first EP (which this song is part of but which is not on Spotify) came out in July and won an award in Germany already.
RIYL: Florence + The Machine, Joseph, LP, Mitski
