Can you believe it’s May already? Time flies when you’re listening to good music.

This song feels like it’s everywhere right now. Check out the video for the super catchy “Swooner” from Vancouver indie-pop band The Zolas, from their self-produced third studio album of the same name (out via Light Organ Records). The video for the “fuzzed out, guitar driven pop anthem” was directed by Dylan Mitro.

What are you listening to?
Everyone probably knows about my deep obsession with Paramore, so their new record has been blowing my mind. I’ve also been spinning Andy Shauf‘s new record (The Bearer Of Bad News) a lot. Currently, I’m really digging this song called “Open” by Rhye, I’ve been wanting to place it ever since I heard it.
