Boy & Bear – Brandi Emma

Yummy yum yum… not only are today’s musical selections making me stupid happy, I am also facing a 4 day weekend in the Keys, a date night with the boy, some debauchery with the little brother after work, and a work day in which I have accomplished all my goals and lesson plans by noon and my boss stated that he can’t think of one thing that I have done wrong. Boom. All wonderfulness. I really hope SOMETHING bad happens this weekend just so I don’t sound so fucking cheerful all the damn time. So much sex starts to seriously fuck with your understanding of bad stuff… everything just becomes lovely.

Boy & Bear will ease you into your weekend with the kind of indie-rock that was deemed good enough for Rolling Stone’s band to watch this year. They have the perfect formula for a band that blends into any iPod flawlessly. They are enough rock for the rock and are indie enough for the indie. They fit the genre with fluidity and delectableness. Get at them!

Brandi Emma… I am not going to lie. It’s VERY Jenny Lewis without all the Troop Beverly Hills nonsense. She’s lovely and an easy listen. I want very badly not to forget her in the sea of emerging heartfelt female singer/songwriters but I do fear she’ll get lost in the shuffle. Here’s hoping that’s not the case…
