Weekly Playlist 51

Words by Scenewave Oz - Published on February 6, 2011

Weekly Playlist 51 features Young The Giant, Dali’s Angels, Fleet Foxes, Foster The People, The Decemberists, Menomena, and Beach Fossils.

Young The Giant – Apartments

Apartments is the first Australian single from this Californian outfit. With an average age of 21 their music has a sophisticated sensibility that stems from them playing together since they were in high school.

Dali’s Angels – Microscopes

An Australian band to watch. They stated their strong influences have come from the tight riff/narrative driven music of bands like The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys and Television. I think they pull great comparisons to The Shins!

Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues

New song of their upcoming second studio album, ‘Helplessness Blues’.

Foster The People – Houdini

Another amazing song by Foster The People. Be sure to go and see them at the Zoo, Brisbane next Sunday! These guys are awesome!

One of the standout tracks from Menomena’s recent performance at St Jerome’s Laneway Festival.

Beach Fossils – Calyer

Dreamy, catchy melodic tune!
