Song of the Day! Florrie – Call of the Wild

Florrie gives the call of the wild from Bristol, UK

Don’t just play off Florrie like she’s your average British pop singer. Florrie is a bona fide drummer, model, and is now going to pursue a solo singer/songwriter career. On top of it all this Florrie refuses to sign with a major label and distributes all her music free to her fans from her website. The best part about Florrie isn’t that she’s a gorgeous model or even a talented drummer, but that her music is so damn appealing! Have you not heard that sick surf-style guitar slide in Call of the Wild? She brilliantly mixes elements of pop with electro beats and adds some trendy guitar riffs to bring it all together. This is the kind of music I wish broke out into the mainstream, because pop music like this I can more then handle. Call of the Wild can be found on Florrie’s first EP Introduction, which was released last november. Luckily we do not have to wait much longer for another release because according to her website she’ll be releasing her second EP in the coming weeks and like always it will be offered for free via her website.

Song of the Day! Lettercamp – Denial Twist (White Stripes Cover)

Alright, so you find a pretty awesome cover of a song you really like by a band you love and your telling me it’s not getting posted to your music blog right away? Yeah right. Lettercamp bring us their electro pop take on The White Stripes 2005 single Denial Twist. I’d like to think that the results are pretty damn good and I have to give major props to Lettercamp for pulling off such a successful White Stripes cover. They succeed in turning a great alternative rock track into a pop music dance hit, which is no easy feat. Even if Lettercamp’s twist on Denial Twist isn’t your cup of tea you can at least respect the attempt put forward by this indie four-piece and recognize them for having the guts to take on such a monster track in the first place.

Song of the Day! Metronomy – The Look


Metronomy bring us laid back electronic music from Devon, England

I’m going to slow things down a bit today and show off one of my favorite discoveries of recent times. Just the other month I came across the not so little band of Metronomy and their latest single The Look. The song just has that ambient chill pacing and a nice shuffle beat that keeps me in a relaxed state of mind. From what i’ve read into, this soft and casual electronic music style is only the norm for Metronomy and I’m perfectly down for some tranquil electro pop. I just so happens that today is the day Metronomy releases their new album The English Riviera in the United States, the UK saw a release last Tuesday. So if this song is closer to your musical taste and style then I’d highly recommend looking further into The English Riviera, I sure as hell know I’m going to.
