And the Giraffe: Something for Someone

Monica
Here is yet another outstanding album from Nick Roberts and Josh Morris better known as And the Giraffe. With a Sold Out CD Package, the duo�s latest offering Something for Someone features six tracks that puts dream folk music on a pedestal. Hailing from Gainesville, Florida, the band started when the best friends/musical duo met during an orientation meeting for the University in Gainesville and decided to jam together. After a few local shows, Josh moved to Nashville and collaborated with Nick via dropbox. When Josh returned during the summer of 2011, the two were already determined to record their first EP. Currently, they are planning a tour within the year.

High Pop: Hip Hip Hooray

Valerie
If your'e in the mood for some hazy, garage rock and saccharine pop, then High Pop is the band you should be listening to. After a successful run with their previous record, Hip Hip Hooray delivers the same sweet and intoxicating punk fuzz pop they've come to master. Treading this route the second time around has its benefits though, the band sounds more polished than ever and seem more comfortable with their chosen genre. Be prepared for track after track of energy filled, freaky indie rock mixed with a whole lot of sugary pop when you listen to this record.

The Oh Hellos: Through the Deep, Dark Valley

Valerie
If you need some cheerful music where you can sing along and simply be happy, take a listen to The Oh Hellos. Siblings, Tyler and Maggie Heath along with some friends, join together to create this remarkable indie folk, alternative concept album of sorts. According to the duo, the record is meant to be listened to straight; all of it in one sitting and enjoyed entirely. Through the Deep, Dark Valley is an 11-track album sprinkled with sweet and happy indie folk sounds. Although there are plenty of themes and subjects explored in the lyrics, most of it is about faith and God. Filled with charming tracks, it's an album that cleanses and refreshes.

Aaahh Records Presents The Braaahhlitz Compilation

Valerie
For the last two years, the Aaahh Record's crew gathered up several musicians and holed up in a small town called Bralitz (somewhere in Berlin.) With nothing but music, plenty of time and some fresh air, they've been creating wonderful music and have been churning them out in little compilations like this one. This Braaahhlitz Compilation is the result of last year's mini gathering. It's comprised of 8 tracks filled with guitars, flutes, a whole lot of handclaps and just simple music that makes your hearts flutter or gather up that book and curl up in the corner.

Cannibal King

Yesper: Cannibal King

Valerie
If you're idea of a relaxing afternoon includes having the perfect music to accompany your little getaway, then you should take a listen to Yesper. There's no band in here though; only one man with glasses, a slight beard and his guitar playing the sweetest indie acoustic folk you'll come across.

Photocomfort

Valerie
Sonically astounding, Photocomfort is an artist that should be on top of any indie folk lover's radar. Bursting into the scene from out of nowhere, it's amazing that talent and music like this has been kept hidden for so long. Led by twenty-something, Justine Bowe and her friend, Mike Moschetto, this self-titled debut is far too short, luckily every inch of it is packed with the kind of music you can bring with you anywhere and play anytime without ever wanting anything else.
