"Everything Now" by Arcade Fire

This new track is equal parts what you would expect from Arcade Fire, and equal parts what you wouldn't expect from Arcade Fire; which as a whole, equals fantastic music.

"The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness" by The National

What can I say? The National were my gateway band into indie music, and ever since I first heard them, I've never turned back. They're incredibly poetic, musical and they make the kind of music that stays with you, which is a beautiful thing.

"On Hold" by The xx

The xx is one of those bands that never ceases to amaze. The way they meld vocals, instruments and beats together is truly sublime, and incredibly unique. The xx is a sound in itself. However, this new track takes them on a bit of a different journey, as they sample Hall & Oates' "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" Hear for yourself.

"Holy Ghost" by BØRNS

Hailing from Michigan, BØRNS (aka Garrett Borns,) brings a deeply soulful voice to this love song. Lyrically, it's pretty heavily-laden with sexual inuendo. However, his voice along with the violins, add so much romance to it, you just can't help but swoon.

"Free" by Broods

This New Zealand brother-sister duo dropped this track as the first single to their new album Conscious. It's bold, loud, musical and best of all: anthemic. Feeling down in the dumps about a break up? Play this track - you will be cured.

"Do You Remember" by Jarryd James

Another track that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. The beat is addictive, his voice has some sort of powerful elegance to it, such that you can feel the music through his words. Very reminiscent of James Blake, but more accessible. What's fascinating is that he looks like a big tough buy, yet he has this gentle, emotive voice. Such a treat.

"Black to Gold" by Dear Rouge

Lead singer Danielle McTaggart's voice is unreal. Powerful, sultry, but also has a soft Sarah McLachlan-esque hue to it. Her read streaks, bold red lipstick, and red curtains in the background add to the dramatic tone of the track. Plus, her guitar/keyboard-playing  bandmate is her husband. Love them.

"The Shade (I Want it All)" by Metric

I had high hopes for Metric after their 2009 album Fantasies. It was one of those rare albums that felt like a work of art in its entirety, like if any track was missing, it wouldn't make sense. That artistry, unfortunately, was short-lived.  Lead singer Emily Haines sounds like she's having convulsions on this track. Not to mention, it sounds like noise from a video games, and I feel like I should be dodging fireballs or something. Plus: budget video, much?

New Metric single "The Shade" out now. Stay tuned for our latest full length studio album coming soon! iTunes: http://smarturl.it/metric_shade http://www.ilovemetric.com http://www.facebook.com/metric http://www.twitter.com/metric http://www.instagram.com/metric_band
