ST. PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES - “THE LAST DANCE”
A groovy upbeat guitar riff and psychedelic synth introduce the first song out of St. Paul & the Broken Bones’ most recent single released off of their upcoming album, The Alien Coast. With more time to experiment with new instruments in the studio, the band really used all their resources. Written about the joy of one last dance before dying, singer Paul Janeway clearly conveys his intentions for the song. Words like “Bang bang goes the bullet like a train, bang bang goes the feeling through my brain,” contrasted with a far-out instrumental background create a perfect atmosphere for a song that’ll be stuck in my head.

GLASS ANIMALS - “I DON’T WANT TO TALK”
The new stand-alone single from the Glass Animals, “I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)” will make listeners do just that! Despite its upbeat electric indie sound, the lyrics explore the end of a relationship. The singer doesn’t want to talk anymore, but simply wants to reminisce on the good times and memories through dancing. Through this song, the Glass Animals also hope that the audience can listen as a release as well.

OF MONSTERS AND MEN - “PHANTOM”
Gentle vocals, acoustic guitar, a soft trumpet and piano carry Of Monsters and Men’s latest, “Phantom.” The previously unreleased song comes off of the 10-year anniversary edition of the Icelandic band’s breakthrough album My Head Is An Animal. Compared to more upbeat hits like “Little Talks” and “Dirty Paws,” “Phantom” radiates a beautiful, delicate sound. Of Monsters and Men first played it in 2010 as a part of their winning performance at a major singing competition in Iceland called Músíktilraunir. With all of the elements that first made me fall in love with their music present, it's no wonder “Phantom” helped launch their successful career.
