MP3: Bear In Heaven - Lovesick Teenagers

This week has been nuts considering how relaxing and lazy my summer was. School is back in full throttle/study-my-ass-off-so-i-can-get-the-hell-out-of-here mode and I finally have a weekend of nothing to do except unwind. I took tonight [friday] to be a loser and snoop around various websites of my liking. I ended up coming across the Grizzly Bear website and listening to their new favorite song by a band named Bear In Heaven. I guess bands from Brooklyn really like bears? I don't know, but check out their song Lovesick Teenagers

MP3: Slaraffenland - Open Your Eyes

Earlier this year, we were introduced to Slaraffenland's 3rd studio album We're On Your Side with the ever so appropriate "Meet And Greet" - a bouncy, loud, percussion based jam with the potential to be a killer sing-along when performed it live. Today, Stereogum premiered a new song entitled "Open Your Eyes." I would say that this song brings a more sleepy/dreamy vibe than "Meet And Greet" but instead of making you drowsy, it keeps you tranced and intoxicated with its catchy vocals and growing percussion jungle.
