Fun! You know what else is fun? These five songs so good they don’t need us giving them long write ups. Nah dawg, these are the star employees of your ears totally taking care of business and getting you what you need. Behold the efficient greatness by Dan Smyth, Alas de Liona, I Know I Know, Noelle Tannen and The Impossible Shapes.

“Something New” by MoonBell starts off slow and lush, the type of indie ballad we’ve become accustomed to, so it’s an unexpected treat when it blooms with a drum loop and expansive synth pads and does so tastefully. The surprises don’t stop there, a breakdown with a few measures of low brass (tuba perhaps?) and a fast finger picked guitar part make appearances as well, but in all of these things MoonBell does it in a manner where it makes sense. This isn’t switch up just for the sake of switch up, it feels integral and that’s the magic of it all.
Today we keep it brief and the let the music do the talking with new songs from TUYS, Jeremy Roscoe, Preamp Disaster, The Zealot Journal, and Gaijin Smash. See our sparseness and hear their greatness after the jump.
