Nation of Language – Too Much, Enough. I’m getting a dark New Wave/Postpunk kinda vibe, like Modern English or Comsat Angels.

Last time my friend shared a song his daughter liked it was a little rough. Some teenage boy singing a sad song about a number. My friend admitted he didn’t get it either. She was little.

She got older and now her favorites are Icelandic jazz singer Laufey and a band called Nation of Language.

Nation of Language – Sole Obsession.

“New music sucks.” I’ve heard that for years from my peers, through the metal years, the grunge years, the hip hop years (which I guess we’re still in?). I never did buy it.

There’s always good music. You just might have to dig for it. Personally, I don’t care what’s popular. I care if it’s good, and there’s so much available online, why worry about what everybody likes? Find what you like.

Laufey – Bewitched. This is really interesting, bringing back that orchestrated jazz sound from the 40s and 50s. Why shouldn’t that be cool again?

Laufey – From the Start. Bossanova a la Astrud Gilberto. I approve.
