Horray for Earth - "True Loves"

Horray for Earth, a Boston based indie electro band, released their first full length album True Loves May 3rd after their successful EP Momo was received well. Their sound is a combination of Yeasayer and Passion Pit with lyrics that are packed with optimistic anxiety. Overall, Horray for Earth serves as a good symbol for our generation. Great power but overwrought with personal demons.

Plus, the video is kind of how I dream.

Lykke Li - "Sadness is a Blessing"

Lykke Li released her sophomore album this year (Wounded Rhymes) to mixed reviews. However, her vocal talent and unique sound still sets her apart from many other artists. Additionally, stellar casting (Stellan Skarsgård) and directing (Tarik Saleh) develops a music video that not only captures the music, but also presents a complete story about a couple's relationship. I highly recommend checking out the video.
