Usher -Looking 4 Myself
Full disclosure, I’m pretty much guaranteed to love anything Usher does. His Album 2012, Looking 4 Myself is no exception! I’ve been a fan since puberty. In fact, I’m pretty sure Usher is who jump-started my hormones. Yum.

Teen Daze -All of Us, Together
When Teen Daze released his debut album, Four More Years, back in the summer of 2010, he managed to slide himself seamlessly into the ‘chillwave’ aesthetic. At the time, the blogosphere was still thoroughly excited about this new way of making old music, with Toro Y Moi&r...
The Tallest Man On Earth -Review: The Tallest Man On Earth

P.S. I Love You -Review: P.S. I Love You - Death Dreams
Oh, Canada... we like to bag on you because you say "aboot" instead of "about" and your cops get around on mooses, but you've really done a lot for us when it comes to indie rock. You've given us Metric, Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade... and P.S. I Love You, whose ...
