New Music: Catlow- Pinkly Things + Music Video

Okay....this song isn't that new, but the music video for the track was released this week and because of that I had the privilege of discovering a brilliant new artist. Catlow (real name Natasha Thirsk) is a Vancouver indie pop artist who specializes in making beautiful dreamy music.

"Pinkly Things" is a track off Catlow's 2012 EP of the same name. Watch the beautifully shot, experimental travelogue video for the song below:

New Music: Wax Idols- When It Happens

Due to computer issues and the Easter holiday weekend I am really behind in the music I want to post. For the next couple of days I am just going to post with minimal writing and just let the music do the talking.

First up is Wax Idols latest song "When It Happens." The band continue to move away from their garage rock origins and into classic British post punk with this track. Watch the performance video for the track below:

Wax Idols released their sophomore LP, Discipline & Desire, last week via Slumberland.
