Songs for Wednesday // These United States, Japandroids and more

Words // Adam Sharp

‘Human Cannonball (for Halfway House Sessions)’- Cadillac Sky
It's a bummer to hear a great song for the first time well after a band has broken up (though I'd rather hear it now than never have it exist at all).

'Fire's Highway'- Japandroids
A rock and roll song played how rock and roll should be played: loud, fast, sweaty and (probably) drunk.

Fire's Highway - Japandroids

'Amawalk'- Port St. Willow
A song that starts hollow and frail and just adds layers until suddenly you've got a full-bodied jam that's got everything (including horns).

'The Angel's Share'- These United States
I'd like to take a long road trip and I would like this song to play on repeat while doing so.

'May This Be Love (Waterfall) (Jimi Hendrix cover)'- Michael Kiwanuka
This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Songs For Wednesday / Japandroids, Vacationer and more

Words // Adam Sharp

'The House That Heaven Built'- Japandroids
Noisy, brash, full of call and response shouting and a guitar line that makes me feel 15 again. There's not a lot to dislike.  (website)

'Broken Minds'- Northern Youth
A really well-executed, beautifully troubled anthem.  (website)

Northern Youth - Broken Minds

'Winter Solstice'- Cold Specks
An absolutely beautiful, breathtaking piece of work.  (website)

'Gone'- Vacationer
Fact: there can never be enough dreamy, shimmery pop songs full of handclaps and fingersnaps like this.  (website)

'Where I'll Be'- Horse Feathers
This is right around my 564th straight favorite new song from Horse Feathers.
