1. Dum Dum Girls – “Too True To Be Good” (Sub Pop)
This brilliant dreamy melodic rock song by Dum Dum Girls comes off an equally beautiful LP “Too True.” The video is amazing. This song is my pick of the week!

2. Trust – “Are We Arc?” (Arts & Crafts) – Trust is the musical project of Toronto artist, Robert Alfons. This blissful trance-like sound is reminiscent of a downbeat 80’s tune, a far-away hypnotic sound with a bizarre voice which is incomprehensible most of the time. This is pure happiness. The full length “Joyland” drops on March 4.

3.The Diamond Age – “I Might Just Be” – The Diamond Age is a British duo serving up dreamy surf music! Nice!

4. WATERStheband- “Got To My Head” – Good power pop rock song from this San Francisco band. It’s fuzzy guitar lines and enjoyable melody make it a fun head bopper of a song.

5. Lune – “Tonight” (Refune Records) – Tonight is sublime synth-pop brilliance. From its thumping bass lines to the bright pop female vocals and steady keyboard and drum claps, it delivers. Nice tune.
