I don't know about you, but I'm in a Foxtails Brigade kind of mood. I just received this new single by them called "Winter's Feat," and as usual, I'm in love.
This indie folk holiday gem comes equipped with all the trimmings: boisterous drums, eclectic strings, the perfect amount of clinks and clanks and an oh-so-sweet female vocal lead. I also absolutely love the approach Foxtails Brigade took when composing the strings section. Each instrument holds its own while playing nice as a whole. All in all, this is a sleek and flawlessly constructed song!
And have you seen the video for "Winter's Feat?" It's an adorable take on entering a holiday extravaganza, complete with festive paper puppets equipped with instruments. Check it out below and be sure to get Foxtail Brigade's new album Time Is Passed!

My Friday morning just got a whole lot better now that there's an official new single off Feist's upcoming album Metals. "How Come You Never Go There" has a dreamy feel through the first two minutes that leaves me pretty darn chilled out -- even as I...
