BEST OF INDIE POP - WEEK 49 2013

12/4/13

BitCandy is here to spread some cheer after a week of tragic losses (R.I.P. Family Guy’s Brian the coolest damn dog, Paul Walker, and Herschel from #TWD). This installment of the best indie pop tracks from around the web are as classy and shameless as Lady Gaga’s pube-errific photoshoot minus the hair (we keep it classy). In other words, just one listen to the tunage below and your ears will suffer from excessive wetness.

 

MIDNIGHT BOY - ROLL WITH IT

Any Scandinavian bloke who strips down to his birthday suit is an automatic life long friend of ours (watch: ’When You’re Strange’). Keep the shirtless videos coming.

 

WE ARE TWIN - THE WAY WE TOUCH

Amy Winehouse reincarnated? This kind of pop will take you back to a time where the vocals matched the beauty of the lyrics.

 

EMINEM - RAP GOD (EXPLICIT)

They say if you repeat Mothe dap dao fap flap 3 times, you too can become a rap god. Just kidding, no one compares to the crazy lyrical skills of Eminem. 100 words in 15 seconds...crazy!

 

CASEY VEGGIES & ROCKIE FRESH - SACRIFICE

Casey Veggies and Rockie Fresh are much like the rum n’ coke I’m sippin on. A simple mix that hits you hard. Be on the look out for their collaborative EP, Fresh Veggies coming out December 16th.

 

CHILDISH GAMBINO - TELEGRAPH AVE.

I am a fan of conventional rap, so big thumbs up to Gambino for this Drake spin off track. Makes me want to hit the rewind button.

 

BIG DATA - DANGEROUS - (CHAPPO REMIX)

The New York quartet Chappo delivers extra glitch on a nostalgic and contagious lo-fi track. Perfect track for an eargasm.

 

THOMAS JACK, KANYE WEST & BENJAMIN FRANCIS LEFTWICH - ATLAS HANDS (AA ‘TOUCH THE SKY’ BOOTLEG)

This is the kind of mashup that will make you wet your favorite pair of Toms. The purity of this remix is unreal!

 

SARAH WINTERS - SWIMMING POOLS - (KENDRICK LAMAR COVER)

Shame on me for not noticing Sarah Winters sooner. I think this cover is just as good if not better than that one time Lissie covered Kid Cudi...which it’s an awesome cover BTW! Fuck...I think it’s time for a new Best Indie Cover list.

 

DORNIK - REBOUND

Dornik releases yet another great track and suddenly everybody loses their minds!**Cough, cough*** We were on his ass before it blew-up, no chasing shadows here. Get with the program people!

 

E X R O Y A L E - GIVE IT UP (CURATOR DUFFSTER)

Looks like someone tore a page off of Prince. God, that high pitched vocal is strong enough to send you into a pop coma. EXROYALE we need more of you.

 

CHINA - HIDE (CURATOR DUFFSTER)

Cooling your balls off this week is another great find from our curator Duffster. How he found such a gem beats me, but it’s enough to keep me up till 3am in a failed attempt to know more about CHINA. Who is she?

-

Crap! My 15 minutes of fame are up. We’ll be back next week with more ooey gooey tasty pop tracks. Until then, stay up to date with a daily serving of the top indie music...And remember kids, stay happy and fuck life.
