We're still here...

Since the Mayan prediction failed us, we've got another day for great music finds!

Bee Eyes - Earthworm Jr.
and im seeing kaleidoscopes by just listening to this. WOW

Kid Astray - The Mess
Let's enjoy these teens from Norway before the rest of the world does. That sounds wrong in so many levels.


Furns - Power
You've got the power over me like Moises had the power over sea. I could picture a 50 Shades of Grey moment there.


The Airplanes - An Inverted Lovesong
A cheerful take on heartbreak and longing for someone. awwwww...


Our Numbered Days - Carlos
If Justin Vernon is going to sing in Filipino, this is how he'd sound. Our Numbered Days aka Ridge Tan is the one half of one of my fave local acts of 2012- Library Kids.


smilelove - Theme Song
indiepop + Japanese = cute! I dont understand a single word but this track is way too adorbs to ignore!


Plastic Flowers - In You I'm Lost
Another track with an abysmal voice. 

Gumdrop Season - Buoyant (Acoustic)
Another fave of mine this year, Gumdrop Season from Cagayan de Oro playing an acoustic version of the pop tune Bouyant. I kinda like this version better.


When Nalda Became Punk - When It'll Come

BAND CRUSHES: Womb and Gumdrop Season

Manila, i love you, but these two acts from the south could give your basic, over-hyped indie bands a run for their beer money.

WOMB
Cebu-based trio Womb is trying to make trip-hop a comeback with a lechon twist- crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Im not sure why i used lechon to describe this band (i know it sounds awful)  but once you listen to their debut track, Good, you'll hit the repeat button over and over again. It's that delicious. If you're into Lamb, Massive Attack or even Dido, Womb's music is good for a nostalgic spin.

GUMDROP SEASON
Im not sure if this is the best delicacy in Cagayan de Oro but Gumdrop Season's music makes my sweet tooth satisfied. It's dancey, catchy, melodic, everything i love in a pop song. Plus the vocalist sounds like Emma Bunton! How cute is that?! Gumdrop Season has a big potential in breaking out in a much wider audience here in Manila and we are ready for them. Here's their debut single Buoyant
