Music is a huge part of my life. And I mean huge. I love a live gig, troll iTunes for the latest indie and alternative releases and you won’t find me without my earphones on my tea and lunch break at work. I just love taking a few minutes to completely escape the day and drown in whatever is tickling my ears fancy at the time. It’s usually something upbeat but meaningful, and you’re pretty lucky if I take my ear bud out for a conversation. The amount of times I’ve nearly been run over in the car park whilst daydreaming with my music playing… It’s a daily occurrence.

One of my friends regularly provides me with quality tunes. I am forever grateful, she’s like a personal DJ. Except when she’s suggesting Taylor Swift, cos that’s not funny. Sharing music is one of the best pressies, so I thought I’d share a few of my current faves with you all. Please return the favour in the comment box – as long as it’s not T. Swift.

Little May – Hide

I’m devastated I missed Little May when they visited Perth recently. I love the floaty vibes of their tunes. The perfect stroll in the sunshine song.

Kishi Bashi – Bright Whites

I don’t even know where I found this song but it is so damn upbeat and inspiring. It’s one of those tracks that consumes you. It’s a tad hippy dippy but I love it. I even got my little sister onto it – instant fan!

Cold War Kids – First

Cold War Kids are the bomb. I think the main reason I love this one is the lyrics. I’m a little bit partial to sad songs, they just resonate (don’t worry I’m okay), I just love the passion in the tune. Big thumbs up for this one. It’s also very catchy.

Broods – L.A.F

This album was probably one of my favourites last year! If you ever get a chance listen to their Live At The Wireless set for Triple J – it was magic! This song just takes me away – it’s very popular wandering at work.

Seekae – Boys

My friend introduced me to Seekae and the more I hear the more I love. This song is pretty slick and cool, and although it doesn’t have the most intense lyrics there is just something about it that has given it a spot on repeat on my playlist.

Sharing is caring, what track are you loving right now?
