BEST INDIE POP - WEEK 2 2014

When you’ve fully given up on the lameness of lamestream and want to feel that your music choices truly reflect your kinky hipster lifestyle, turn to us for a good time. We’re back after a two week delay (drinking binge hehe) and ready to satisfy your musical appetite with some pretty lethal beats coming from Yonas, Mickey Valen, Twenty One Pilots, and a couple of other artists that you probably don’t know about but should. And if by the end of the you find yourselves less than amused, here’s a tip: become a curator here and slather us with your music. To the music!

BRAYTON BOWMAN - DONE

Sounds like a male hipster version of the poptart Taylor Swift... except I don’t think Taylor eats her feelings out. Rumor has it she sends flying monkeys to stalk her ex lovers. Eating cake seems a bit more sane. Good luck Bowman!

TWENTY ONE PILOTS - TRUCE [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Listening to ‘Truce’ makes me want to roll around in my new snuggie and weep as I dunk my face into a bag of chips. The video serves as a reminder that if you’re going to a concert this year, TWENTY ONE PILOTS is the one to be at.

AYER - YOUNG (MICKEY VALEN RADIO EDIT)

Okay how about a change of pace to that of a less dramatic tone. New York producer Mickey Valen creates a yummy chow out of Ayer’s dreamy layered single. Definitely a track that will leave your ears drooling. 

YONAS - TEAM (LORDE REMIX)

You can always count on Yonas to deliver a flawless remix. I only say that because after listening to ‘Team’ I rushed over to his soundcloud and listened to ALL of his tracks and ALL were pretty solid.

ELLIE GOULDING - BURN (ROBOTS WITH RAYGUNS REMIX)

Listening to anything mixed by Robots With Rayguns is like putting extra sugar on your Frosted Flakes. A couple hits and you’ll be bouncing off walls.

OPUS ORANGE- BALANCE

The most exciting up and coming rapper of 2014 has dropped a new single that will tickle y’er pickle. Fans of Tyler the Creator will be eating this up.

BAD SUNS - SALT

With only two songs under their belt and the blogosphere is going bezerk, us included. Breakthrough band of 2014? Absolutely.

Looks like that’s all the time we have, but I’ll be back later this week with more addicting tracks. Until then, don’t be a goober, help us fight music crimes by spread the word about BitCandy. See you soon!

About Beca Arredondo

Beca Arredondo is easily unamused with all things not related to her interests.  On her good days you can catch her avoiding the California sun and glued to her Mac plotting the next big thing. If you happen to run into her on the street and notice her wearing headphones do NOT disturb her. She is not responsible for any possible damage. Aside from the above she's very sweet and perky and responds well to good music and food.
