Saturday Soundtrack: Wednesday Special

I've decided that I want to spend more time investing in what enriches my life.
I love music. :) This post is a throwback to my old Saturday Soundtracks (which I hope to revive). 

I ran across this band the other day and I am completely obsessed. They have a lovely little EP out and I am a sucker for dancey indie rock with a twist. The female lead has a unique quality in her voice which pleases my ears. It's a little bit folksy with a hint of soul.

Mostly though, listening to them invokes certain joy in my feet. They want to move! Put your dancing shoes on before you press play.

Without further ado, I present to you, Misterwives. Featuring the track I am particularly smitten with, "Reflections". Hang in here a minute or two. I'm going to give you three versions to give you an idea of why I enjoy them oh so.

First up is the pop-infused NY music video.

Their official music video takes place in some type of private school/boarding school scenario. They waste a lot of paper, something about detention, debate club and blah, blah, blah.

 If you're going to do a music video in uniforms, you better be Colin Meloy and it better be 2006. After all, Mindy has way better hair than Colin. It should be flowing in the wind as she runs through a colorful, magical land and belts this well articulated anthem of freeing yourself from unhealthy relationships.

 Instead, I bring you the NY Edition. I appreciated the breakfast club nod and found myself shaking my butt butt.




I've already made this version my ringtone and ringback tone. You're welcome. We will all enjoy this beauty when you call me. 

Next is the SXSW live version.


Last, and certainly not least, is my favorite version. More unplugged like the last, heavier on the acoustic and vocals.


I highly recommend checking out their Soundcloud.

I tend to enjoy their more upbeat tracks such as Twisted Tongue, Money on My Mind, and Imagination Infatuation, but I dig Coffins, Vagabond and some of their slower jams as well.

If all is suitable to your ears, support their EP on itunes. It was definitely worth the purchase.

:) Love to you all
