It is difficult for me to chose a favorite song from 'Hearts are Gold', but I think it is "No More Sorry Songs" for the fact that I was not sure that I liked it when I first heard it, but now I always press repeat. In the opening it reminded me a little of a Barenaked Ladies song, but then when it gets to the lines, "I keep a box in my room filled with everything that you ever gave me or anything that reminds me of you, I keep it lock out of sight with hopes that one day I might pluck up the courage to sit down and write this letter to you" it gets so raw and so pretty. I love the production of the album because it did not sacrifice any detail - vocal layering, counting into songs, and that damn suitcase kickdrum.
I love it, guys.

There is something about this video of Greenland is Melting performing 'Jaundiced Eye'. Even though the quality is not the best, I love the bright energy of the music in the hookah bar setting, not to mention singer Shaun Pereira's voice is so prominent and clear that it is like another instrument of the string ensemble.



They add fresh flavor to that Gainesville swamp stew and keep me coming back for seconds. You owe it to yourself to give Our Hearts are Gold, Are Grass is Blue a spin or two!
