Music Roundup: March 2012

This is a new once-a-month series.  Near the end of each month, I will post 5-10 notable tracks that were released in the past 30 days.  Enjoy! 

Japandroids – “The House That Heaven Built”

Scuzzy pop with plenty of hooks.  Japandroids are proving they don’t need to change, they just refine and perfect the good things they already have going for them.

Moonface – “Headed For The Door”

Spencer Krug goes all M83 on us with this expansively epic cut from the forthcoming album Heartbreaking Bravery.

Celista – “Brooklyn”

My favorite artist of 2011 is back with a new Biggie Smalls-sampling single.

Titus Andronicus – “Upon Viewing Oregon’s Landscape With the Flood of Detritus”

These New Jersey patriot-rockers recorded this track for their 7″ release with Diarrhea Planet.  They also released a shit-ton of free demos, b-sides, and outtakes here.

The Shins – “It’s Only Life”

The Shins released Port Of Morrow and it is phenomenal.  My favorite Shins album yet.  Also, check out the music video for the lead single “Simple Song” because it’s really good.

Beach House – “Myth”

Pretty rad chilled-out cut here… and that’s coming from a dude who isn’t a huge Beach House fan.

Little Chords – “Always/Never”

Little Chords is the side project of a dude named Jamison who is better known as Teen Daze.  This track is very Real Estate-esque.  Super chill, but super catchy.

OFWGKTA – “Oldie”

It’s all in the video.
