Chet Faker – “Gold”

August 20, 2014 by Nick 1 Comment

An earworm is a snippet of a song that gets stuck in your head and repeats over and over.  Over 90 percent of people suffer from this debilitating condition at least once a week.  Studies have shown that one possible cause is our mind’s being in a “low attention state”, which explains why I always get an earworm when I’m walking Mia in the morning.  I’ll be sharing these Morning Earworms with you every morning (that I remember to) because misery loves company.  Enjoy!

Chet Faker (aka Nick Murphy) is an epically-bearded Australian electronica artist. “Gold” is from his debut album Built on Glass. You may know him from his viral cover of Backstreet’s “No Diggity“.  His style is soulful with a lot of jazz influences and heavy on the Wurlitzer.  This is perfect dinner party music.  The video for “Gold” is pretty cool, I mean who doesn’ t like synchronized roller skating down a dark country road?

Those Dancing Days – “One Day Forever”

An earworm is a snippet of a song that gets stuck in your head and repeats over and over.  Over 90 percent of people suffer from this debilitating condition at least once a week.  Studies have shown that one possible cause is our mind’s being in a “low attention state”, which explains why I always get an earworm when I’m walking Mia in the morning.  I’ll be sharing these Morning Earworms with you every morning (that I remember to) because misery loves company.  Enjoy!

When I found Those Dancing Days a couple years ago I was saddened that they were no longer.  Sweden sure knows how to make indie pop bands, thats for sure.  “One Day Forever” is from their second album Daydreams and Nightmares and features Orlando Weeks from the Maccabees.  This whole album is full of solid tracks and needs to be in your collection.

Bonus video: My favorite Those Dancing Days song, “I’ll Be Yours”.

Arrested Development – “People Everyday”

I love how random some earworms are.  Today we’re going back to 1992 with Arrested Development’s “People Everyday”, off their debut album 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of…..  I wasn’t really big on hip-hop at the time, but I remember seeing their video’s on MTV and being drawn to the more funk and jazz inspired style of hip-hop than more traditional rap.  That’s still my preferred style of hip-hop today.  The line-up has changed a bunch over the years, but Arrested Development is still touring and putting out new records.

Sylvan Esso – “Coffee”

Another concert I was disappointed to miss was Durham’s own Sylvan Esso.  Amelia Meath’s melodic voice layered over Nick Sanborn’s inventive beats make any song off their self titles debut album get stuck in your head.  I imagine their shows are full of dancing energy after watching some of their video’s.

Update – they’re playing the Haw River Ballroom on Halloween, maybe I’ll try to catch that show.

Chvrches – “Recover”

Chvrches is a synthpop trio hailing from Scotland.  I actually just found them a couple months ago and quickly became a fan.  Sadly I missed getting tickets to their recent show in Raleigh, le sigh.  If you haven’t heard it on the radio already I also recommend “The Mother We Share”.
