Andra

Andra is an independent Namibian musician now residing in Pretoria, South Africa. She is well-known for her guitar-playing skills and a voice that mirrors the harshness of the desert where she comes from.

"I'm just telling stories - attaching the only sounds I know how to make." - Andra
(from her youtube channel)

Andra - "The rain don't talk to me no more"

Princess Chelsea

Fangirl warning!
Princess Chelsea a.k.a. Chelsea Nikkel from Auckland, New Zealand may be old news to many indie pop connoisseurs, but to me she is brand new and sparkling. Although her name has popped up to me many times in YT, it took me this long to actually make that critical click and listen. Cute and naive just the right way ― I'm loving her music to bits!
This video is from her debut album 'Lil' Golden Book':

And what's even more awesome, a new single 'We're So Lost' just got released two weeks ago:

Hunters

Went to a live show to see JEFF The Brotherhood, who delivered an excellent show tonight here in Boston. But I'd especially like to draw your attention to the warmup band, one of the best ever in my experience: Hunters. They're from Brooklyn and frontwoman Isabel Almeida will remind you of Karen O.

Torres - Mother Earth, Father God

Torres - Mother Earth, Father God

I was born on bloody battleground
To the metal men between two realms
The hungry eyes linger as she twirls
Got hands lifted to heaven
And her toes dipped in hell

Oh, Mother Earth, oh, Father God
The demons wager on my fall
The greatest trick I ever saw
Was them fooling us to think they were never here at all

These New Puritans - Field of Reeds

A new TNPs album is due for release on 10th June 2013, 'Field of Reeds'. (From their website http://www.thesenewpuritans.com). What amazes me is the sheer volume of precision and creative effort that goes into a TNP record, and some of that is visible from the teaser clip below:

Fever Ray - If I had a Heart

We got to talking about this theme song to the Vikings series at AAI, so I figured I'd post it :)
