I have been straying away from my indie roots these days. The last year I managed to completely abandon most of my favourite indie bands to enjoy my electro and rock roots.
(As an aside, I hate favourite songs that remind me of unfavourite people. Never share playlists!)
However, it seems that rocking out to my favourite angry tracks has been causing me to speed, and I've therefore decided to seek a life more zen.
Enter: Ellie Goulding. My new girl-crush, among many. I've seen her labeled as "folktronica" which pisses me off to no ends; sub-genres just GRIND MY GEARS and only give people a reason to feel "arts-ier than though."
Anyway, indie-electronica is my new favourite, and Ellie is spot on (not to mention the vast amount of remixes her songs seem to inspire.)
(I'm also not mentioning how freakin' cute she is.)
I KNOW!
Her first single just hit the market, Starry Eyed, and while it's no longer at number one on the charts in the UK, its still up there. I'm on a fit of listening her album, Lights, and following her gig locations on her Twitter waiting for her to come to Canada-land.
All Ellie-love (and HYPAHLINK PARTY) aside, I've also found myself another interesting female fronted band, known as Marina and the Diamonds
YEAHHH, COLOURS!
Marina and the Diamonds has a sound that I originally wasn't the biggest fan of, but the more I listen the more I appreciate the lack of a stereotypical vocalist, and I realized that I am sometimes a tasteless idiot.
Marina makes me want to dance in farmers fields and go on road trips.
She wrote a song about a robot. 'Nuff said.
