    Must Download: Givers “In Light”

    I’m recently OBBSESSED with the band Givers. The best way to describe them would be if the best parts of Vampire Weekend and GroupLove made a baby! Every song on their album “In Light” from begging to end packs fantastic energy with a multitude of instruments. It’s hard to choose a favorite song, but if I had to it would be “Atlantic” since it leaves me feeling like I’ve just been on a Caribbean holiday. Givers so positively full of life and this album is the perfect reminder that Spring is just around the corner! iTunes $9.90 - Taryn Cox for THE WIFE

    Must Download: Cults

    Cults are the latest and greatest boy-girl duo to come out of Brooklyn. By the time the first anthemic opener ”Abducted” comes on you’ll have your speakers turned up so high your neighbors will be jamming right along with you. Their music is sincere with sounds of the early sixties and surf rock. “When Cults single “Go Outside” first appeared on the web last year, it spread like wildfire. It was catchy and sweet, the kind of sing-along that felt like it was pulled from the air, with a sentiment perfect for anyone. but its dreamy drift is just one side of a band that proves it has the dexterity and songwriting chops to make a varied and memorable album.” $7.99 on iTunes - Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.
