Obscure Sound: Best of April 2009

/

To be honest, I am shocked that I have had the time to update lately. Finals and papers have been bombarding me since Monday, and I have a few more papers due next week. Finals have certainly taken their toll on me, but I have become accustomed to listening to music while writing by now. As a result, neglecting the fine few artists featured this month was not  an option. Whether you want your girl-group pop (God Help the Girl), the latest trend in electro-pop (Neon Indian), or a familiar face (Jarvis Cocker), this month should satisfy most needs. These are all songs that I have had on repeat at some point. It is indicative of their shared infectiousness, which is commendable considering the diverse array of styles presented here.
