So it definitely has been one hell of a last week, as you know our flight from Brisbane got cancelled on Monday night which granted us an extra fun night filled with sangria & good friends. But then later in the week things got a little weird as Wednesday night I took a Echinacea/Olive leaf supplement to suppress flu symptoms before going to bed & I woke up completely covered in hives!
Due to the massive allergic reaction I was experiencing a trip to emergency then had to be done & I was given all the rights things & placed into observation. Amongst all things going on last week my best friend also had her baby three weeks early & I was ordered bed rest for the rest of the week. Scary stuff given that the supplement was originally taken to make me feel better! Anyway lets get onto the fun stuff!
Given that I had the rest of the week off, I was able to FINALLY finish watching the OC Box Set which I actually started in 2014 when I started studying my Business degree. Im so glad to say that chapter of my life can finally close & I still managed to find myself teenage sobbing in all the right places all over again.
I was also able to place new music onto my iPhone which is such an amazing feeling. Nothing better than having new music to blast whilst on public transport & given how crazy this year has been a simple task such as sitting down & placing music onto my iPhone is very time consuming & it became an even bigger task as this kept being pushed onto the back burner. I now have a whopping 92 extra songs to sink my teeth into & I'm pretty excited! I've got some new Madeon & his latest album Good Faith. New Client Liaison who have finally released their latest single Champagne Affection, Tones And I (Who actually won all the awards for the ARIAs), the newest single from Best Coast & as well as the Raka EP from Golden Features x The Presets (as previously featured on Play it Forward >>) to name a few!
Let's get into this weeks song!
It may ring a bell when I say "Punching In A Dream" but The Naked And Famous have been super busy these past couple of years! As soon as I heard this track Sunseeker I was hook, line & sinker. It's got such feel good qualities & all I want to do whenever I hear it is jump around.
It's addictive & fun, got all the right synth grooves in it to keep you grooving. Sunseeker premiered at the beginning of November & it's been hitting my Summer playlist like nothing else.
The Naked and Famous are an Indie Electronic band from Auckland, New Zealand. Formed in 2007, I've followed the band since 2010 due to their song "Punching In A Dream" as well as their first album "Passive Me, Aggressive You" which was also synth filled fun. The band originally had five members but it currently consists of Alisa Xayalith (vocals & keyboard) & Thom Powers (Vocals & guitar)
They've been based in Los Angeles & since 2010 have further released two more albums In Rolling Waves (2013) & Simple Forms (2016).
Oh, I got a light heart But you show me the bright side Always got my eyes closed You sit with there with wide eyes
What I love about Sunseeker is there is just something so summery about it, there's synth bursts & fun sing alongs, the beat you just want it to last forever. It feels so fresh & I just love it. Hope that you like it as much as I do!
Cheers
