And those words are stained upon your skin.

If you haven't heard it yet, you should really check out Hanni El Khatib's album "Will The Guns Come Out".
Super solid release.
Here's a gem to entice you.

Always keep singing it, sets your mind in motion.

Oddly (?) and historically, going against all my hipster friends and cool tendencies, I was never a fan of The Fiery Furnaces.
Then slowly and surely, they started growing on me.
Then Eleanor pulls out all the stops and makes a beautiful and compelling album about her time in NYC.
So bam, I'm hooked in. She's speaking my sentimental language.
Check it.

A Thread/Threat of a Stampede.

One of my favorite new artists that I've come across recently.
Word on the street is that you'll be hearing a lot from/about this band very shortly.
This is the lovely B-side from their newest single "Belongings", which is also quite beautiful.
