Yesterday got away from me. Here’s what should have gone up, some choice cuts from the Hype Machine top 50.

I remember seeing an e-mail about this Texas based band Madràs a few days ago, but looks like I misplaced it. Today, I was lucky to hear from a friend of the group with a reminder to check out their music. The duo of brothers just recently completed their debut album, which sounds like it’d fit great with the ethereal sounds of Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Oliver Tank.
Its a calming soundtrack to a day where I’m completely frustrated with happenings from my day job. Hopefully, I can turn things around and getting a better start to the long weekend.
Toronto-based quartet Heartbeat Hotel are exciting to be moving in an exciting new direction with their debut 7″ single on Cobra Cobra Records called “The Hello Barrel”. Sounding quite different from the phaze-pop “Windowsill1″ which we recommended a little while back, this track will satisfy Fleet Foxes, Beach House and Yukon Blonde fans for its rich harmonies and wistful lyrics.
Heartbeat Hotel originated in Peterborough, ON as the indie-pop group Mariposa, before moving to a warehouse space in Toronto. They’ll play the Piston (937 Bloor St W) June 3 with Boys Who Say No and HUT.
Heartbeat Hotel – “The Hello Barrel”
Who: Yukon Blonde.
What: A song from the debut full length of Kelowna-bred, 60’s rock harmony inspired band Yukon Blonde. Sounding in the vein of Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby/Stills/Nash, and America, these guys are doing justice to a classic sound. Look for them at CMW at the CHARTattack showcase, with w/ label mates Two Hours Traffic. Huge tour on the go, check their myspace for details.
Song: Wind Blows.
