Musical Monday: Quadron

Last week was the week of Quadron, their latest effort Avalanche was on constant rotation as I made my way through another week in the office. . . . really I think it was all about the track Hey Love which found its way into my spreadsheet groove :-) 

Spreadsheets or not, the album is well worth a listen or two, or three  . . . 

Hey Love

Musical Monday: San Fermin

Thanks to NPR's First Listen this amazing band out of my favorite Borough made it on to the WWoD radar. 

San Fermin's who's self titles album drops tomorrow (September 17, 2013) is surprising and yet everything that it should be. 17 songs of awesomeness worthy of some heavy rotation, so take a listen and enjoy another musical monday:

And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.

Musical Monday: Cold Specks

I came across this musical find courtesy of Fly.

Cold Specks,though I know this is going to sound far less flattering than I intended but Cold Specks is kind of like musical comfort food. A sound that you can turn to and know that everything is once again right with the world. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
