Music Crush Girl

New Music Crush: Dungeonesse

She caught me with her strong voice and driving indie pop sound of the duo Wye Oak. But now Jenn Wasner has teamed with producer/songwriter Jon Ehrens (White Life) on self-titled album of a decidedly more pop and r&b nature with a distinct nod to the 80s. Dance pop is Ehrens’ territory and Wasner is a great complement.  I’m excited to see her take on a new genre. This single, Nightlight, showcases Wasner’s beaut of a voice.

For comparison, here’s the single “Holy Holy” from Wye Oak.

And “Time is Wasting” from White Life.

New Music Crush: John Newman

Sometimes MCG just wants to dance. @johnnewmanmusic

Severe Music Crush: @motopony

I’m not embarrassed to say I’ve been listening to Motopony’s self-titled album on repeat, particularly this song. MCG loves expletives. It’s a beaut.

Their sound vacillates between The Black Keys, Iron and Wine and Rich Aucoin. 

Also, they are local boys! 

Thank you STATE OF WASHINGTON for creating Motopony. Swoon.
