Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy

Artist: Friendly Fires Track: Skeleton Boy Album: Friendly Fires Year: 2008
"Skeleton Boy" is one big cascading wave of synth beats, poppy melodies, and infectious vocals. It's got a kind of cosmic dance beat that makes you lose yourself in the song and dance away wherever you happen to be. Indie kids wishing to dance will have fun with this one.

Miami Horror - Holidays

Artist: Miami Horror ft. Alan Palomo

Track: Holidays

Album: Illumination

Year: 2010

Despite being in the fall months, this song has a distinctly retro summer feel. Alan Palomo from Neon Indian features his crsip vocals. I love the fun, disco sound and swirling synth beats. Like I said, it's a great summer song.

I actually like several of the other tracks on this album, so if you like this one, be sure to check out the rest of Illumination!

LIGHTS - Siberia

Artist: LIGHTS
Track: Siberia
Album: Siberia
Year: 2011

LIGHTS's high, innocent vocals blend perfectly with a mix of distorted bass and heavy synthesized beats. Heavy emphasis on the distorted part. The chorus is extremely catchy and I found myself humming it after I heard this song for the first time.
