Well, we've been waiting for this track to leak for a couple days now, and here it is. Lorde covering Tears For Fears!
Leading up to this, there's no doubt been an immense amount of pressure on Lorde to win over the crowds (at least in my mind). Aft...

Electronic-inflected folk is all the rage right now (as the popularity of Daughter remixes on Indie Shuffle astutely suggests.) For those of you into the slow-burning kind, I suggest you give London singer-songwriter Freddie Dickson a moment of your ...

I've been a huge James Vincent McMorrow fan since I first heard his tune "If I Had A Boat." I was mesmerized by the Irish native's voice (although his accent is nearly nonexistent) and the subtle guitar strumming that made up the underbelly of his fo...
