I've been listening to Fabrizio and the Fever's "Lately I've Been Waiting" on repeat since I heard it! Great new band out of Nashville.

I first heard about the band Old Wave through an NPR article.

It wasn't until listening to their self titled album at least 3 times that I realized they are from Portland, Oregon... my own town.

... This happens far too often.



Old Wave reminds me of a lot of the pioneering indie/ electronic bands from around a decade or so ago that got me so excited about indie rock in the first place.

Idk how to do your fancy song embedding, but I figured I had to throw The Elwins into the mix. Their album just came out and the whole thing is good, but "Show Me How to Move" is one of my favorite songs of the year so far.
