3 Songs: On Repeat

Ann Pragg – “Januarium” (Ann Pragg is the solo moniker of multi-instrumentalist Matt Radick of Holopaw.  His debut album, Bitter Fruit, was released this week via Wonderland Archives.  His murky brand of blues-soaked folk tries and fails to hide the layers of sparkling yet haunting pop beneath, especially on this upbeat, jangly second single.) www.annpragg.bandcamp.com

Mother Falcon – “Dirty Summer” (The Austin 18-piece orchestral indie rock band released their epic new album, You Knew this week with the help from a successful Indiegogo campaign.  By combining elements of chamber-pop, anthemic early Arcade Fire-like folk and the infectious swirling horn melodies of Rubblebucket, Mother Falcon is one of the most thrilling and exciting bands you will hear and/or see all year!) http://motherfalconmusic.com/

Way Yes – “Macando” (The Columbus, Ohio based band blends the danceable rhythms and sounds of Afro-pop along with jazz into their vividly colorful indie rock palate on their lushly layered and quirky debut full-length, Tog Pebbles, released this week on Lefse Records.) http://wayyes.com/
