Artist Focus: Said The Whale

Said The Whale is an indie rock band from Vancouver, composed of Ben Worcester, Tyler Bancroft, Spencer Schoening, Jaycelyn Brown, and Nathan Shaw. They've been at it since 2007. So far, they have three albums and numerous EPs. STW's most recent album is Little Mountain. I have to say, it's a really a top-notch album.

Songs of the Day: Frank Ocean, Sabastian Lind, Flight Facilities.

Frank Ocean-Pink Matter ft. Andre 3000



I try not to re-post the same artist more than once, because I like to keep things fresh. But I think Frank Ocean has been in my "Songs of the Day" like four or five times now.


Sebastian Lind-Never Let Go



This Danish dude have a really cool style, that I dig.

There are so many remixes of this song, but I like this one. I think it's the original, but I'm not sure.

Very excited to get the new album!

Songs of the Day: Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars, Life in Film, Harry's Gym.

Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars-Safe and Sound



I really like this Taylor Swift, not that I didn't like her before. I just wish she sung more in this style. The Civil Wars definitely was a good influence.


Life in Film-Carla



I can't really express how good these guys are.


Harry's Gym-Next Time

Songs of the Day: Marc Scibilia, Ewert and The Two Dragons, Our Broken Garden.

Marc Scibilia-Ain't My Home



Wonderful performance.


Ewert and The Two Dragons-Good Man Down



Reminds me a little bit of Mumford and Sons. They both have that indie folk sound.


Our Broken Garden-Breathe



This is a pretty legit cover of Pink Floyd's original. Check out more from OBG.

Songs of the Day: Young Empires, Little Red, The Daylights.

Young Empires-White Doves




Little Red-All Mine




The Daylights-Boy On The Moon

Songs of the Day: Frank Ocean, Eric Lee, States.

Frank Ocean-Pyramids



This is a pretty long song for a R&B artist. Anyway, new album drops in July.


Eric Lee-KIDS



When I first heard this, I was expecting an overly popish indie voice like NeverShoutNever or Owl City. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But to my pleasant surprise, I heard Eric Lee.


States-Right or Not



Just re-listening to some States. I miss Mindy White being in Lydia. Both bands are still awesome though.
