A Quick Word from the Authors:
While we all keep busy running through our day-to-day tasks media content can easily go unnoticed, floating within the never-ending stream of web content that consumes our news feeds. Thus, we strive to provide an easily digestible dose of content to make sure that our listeners are well aware of the trending musical landscape–specifically within the indie spotlight.
If you haven't we recommend downloading Radiohead's new mobile app PolyFauna (iOS and Android) where "Your screen is the window into an evolving world." In other news the past week that was coated with cover songs, including the Arctic Monkeys live covering The Beatles and Twin Shadow covering The Smiths, Chvrches cover of The Arctic Monkeys' "Do I Wanna Know?" takes the cake with transforming the song in playful and distinct way. Finally any Bright Eyes fans would be happy to know that Connor Oberst has announced a new album, releasing a new song in his new-found happy folk-inspired fashion.
