listen up!

right now i'm digging on lady singers. there are times when i feel like (sorry ladies!!) the ladies in music really suck it, but lately there are some awesome chicks with great voices. a few of my favs......

FIRST AID KIT

first off, how flipping adorable are these ladies???? so cute. and they're swedish (which i adore). but more than both of those things, they have the most beautiful voices. if you listen to their album, you will not know they are swedish. in fact, lp thought they were southern. southern swedish girls?!?!? awesome. their music is hauntingly beautiful, complete with guitars, flutes and the most wonderful harmonies. think, fleet foxes as ladies. love lovey love.

TENNIS

i love fun bands with happy music (duh) and this band is so fun. they sound like those scenes in movies where a girl and a guy are playing on the beach, splashing in the ocean, laughing in the sand. it's the kind of music that makes me want to turn up the volume, open my sunroof and drive to.....virginia. well, that's about as far as i'm willing to drive right now.

SHARON VAN ETTEN

i love a lady with a dusky, mumbly voice. um, that doesn't sound right. do ya'll know cat power? awesome singer/songwriter and this little lady sings in a similar way. great lyrics and her voice is that wonderful, deeper sound that so few can get away with. plus, she seems like a fun chick to hang out with.
