My New Love

Is Micachu & The Shapes. I really cannot say enough about how much I enjoy their new album Jewellery. The amount of eclectic musicianship crammed into each brief song is staggering, while each song assumes a new feeling. Micachu's voice is incredibly charming, but also completely arresting. Taking into account what is popular in the hipster blogosphere these days, I really appreciate how Micachu has been to create such an awesome record while using no snyth whatsoever! While at first all the seemingly disparate sounds (think breaking glass and guttural sounds) Micachu & The Shapes utilize may be off putting, but after a listen you will begin to appreciate the cohesive and happy songs they manage to weave together. While some will call it weird and point out the nontraditional instrumentation, Jewellery is a great pop record that is going to be getting heavy rotation by yours truly for a while.
