I had NO clue what the motherfuckers from Mumford & Sons looked like until I got an e-mail from my mama and personal fashion designer Tuná Knowles. She was all like, “Boulangerié, GURL! I am popping my pussy for a pork chop to this song […]

Bibio: “À tout à l’heure”
English producer Bibio‘s new album Silver Wilkinson came out a month or so ago, and if you’re looking for some laid-back tunes on this wretched Monday morning, I’d recommend checking it out on Spotify, iTunes or right down below. Lead single “À tout à l’heure” […]
Steve Martin & Edie Brickell: “Love Has Come For You”
For those of you who aren’t in the know, Steve Martin is an accomplished musician beyond his extensive comedy and film career. (Also, he was a total fox in the eighties, but that’s a topic for a whole other day!) He won a Grammy Award […]
Vance Joy: “From Afar”
Australian folk-pop singer Vance Joy tells the story of a unreciprocated gay crush in the music video for “From Afar”. However, if you think that’s the story here, then you’ve got another thing coming for you. The thing is? Vance Joy is really, really good. […]
Frightened Rabbit: “Backyard Skulls”
Scottish indie fivesome Frightened Rabbit released their fifth full-length album Pedestrian Verse last month, and so far, it’s taken a place as one of my favorite releases of the year (right next to Tegan & Sara‘s Heartthrob, Ra Ra Riot‘s Beta Love and Woodpigeon‘s Thumbtacks […]

Stevie Wonder, Prince, Erykah Badu, Bon Iver and Jill Scott can’t all be wrong about Is Your Love Big Enough?, the debut album from Lianne La Havas. Those are just a few of the famous fans who’ve hopped on board with the English artist’s soulful blend […]
Swear and Shake: “These White Walls”
Kari Spieler, the lead female vocalist of New York’s Swear and Shake, reminds me a ton of Rilo Kiley‘s Jenny Lewis. That last sentence might mean nothing to 90% of you reading this, but then again, you probably didn’t spend a week of your college […]
Woodpigeon: “For Paolo”
Here is some music by a legitimately good, openly gay artist! And I’m not just saying that because he’s a hot Canadian indie dude with a beard! It’s actually intelligent, well-written and not reeking of pop-chart desperation. Take note, Adam Lambert. This is how you […]
Aural Only: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Tired of all the so-called “crappy dance music” we post on Manhunt Daily? Prepare yourself for something completely different. Although I’ve heard the name Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros thrown around within the blogosphere, I didn’t get a chance to listen to them until […]
Aural Only: Lissie
With nothing more than a quick glance, it's clear that Lissie is the polar opposite of Lady Gaga. The two musicians similarities can be summed up in one simple statement–they're blonde chicks who can sing. So what happens when this natural-faced lady (who *gasp* wears […]
