Indie Music Song Recommendations by IndieChristmas.com

“Dust Bowl Dance” by Mumford & Sons

Jerod — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:46:02 +0000

On the recommendation of a friend, I decided to listen to the entire Sigh No More album by Mumford & Sons and, predictably, found that the songs that never got the major airplay were the best ones. Right now, my favorite is "Dust Bowl Dance." The lyrics tell a compelling story, and the emotional crescendo just grabs you at the end of the song.

“Hey All You Hippies!”- The Low Anthem

Tyler — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 05:19:47 +0000

I recently attended a City and Colour concert in Indianapolis (an artist that you should also check out), and this band, The Low Anthem, opened up for them. Almost instantly I loved this band, mainly because I have a real soft spot for folk music and bands that you can really tell they love what [...]

“Someone Like You” Adele Cover by Walk Off The Earth & Sarah Blackwood

Jerod — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:21:40 +0000

We don't usually feature songs that have been listened to my over 4 million people, as this song has been just on YouTube alone, but screw it. Walk Off The Earth's cover of Adele's "Someone Like You" is the quintessentially perfect cover. It stays true to the original song but features a unique twist (in this case the addition of a ukelele).

“Falling Down (Lost Boys Remix)” by Sub Focus

Jerod — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:11:04 +0000

We just got a tweet to our @IndieChristmas account from @LostBoysAreDead with a link to check out their new mix. I did so, and though I wouldn't really consider myself aboard the whole dubstep bandwagon that seems to be sweeping the nation, I did enjoy listening to this track.

Jerod — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:26:33 +0000

Today, Indie Christmas contributor Tyler Juranovich posted in our Indie Music Lovers Facebook group about Of Monsters and Men, so I decided that fate had properly intervened and I need to take some initiative and check the band out. So far, I've listened to one song, and I love it. So I'm posting.
