MIP 67: November I (2013)

I’ve been slacking a bit on posting my weekly indie playlists, but here is my first of five from November. Features returns from the Broken Bells and IYES, as well as newcomers Tincture, Little May, and I Know The Chief.

IYES – Til Infinity

Prior to this week, IYES had only two “demos” released. “Lighthouse” really stood out for me back in January. Their first official release “Til Infinity” was unveiled this week and it is everything that good pop music should be: catchy, fun, beautiful, and most all, poppy. The male-female vocals and chanting that goes on during “Til Infinity” makes it a real contender to cross over to mainstream radio, similar to how Lorde did it with “Royals.” I’m really hoping this gets pressed on to some heavy colored vinyl. Then I really would play it until infinity.
