Jason’s Favorites – 2014

It’s been an interesting year for the world at large, as well as for me personally. We had a World Cup, an Ebola outbreak, The Fappening, Ferguson, the Sony Hack and an Ice Bucket Challenge. Robin Williams, Maya Angelou and Philip Seymour Hoffman are no longer with us.

I watched a little girl become conscious of her surroundings and turn from a crying baby into an interactive little person. It’s was definitely a little more introspective and thought provoking for me and the songs here seem to reflect that. This list is more downbeat than last year but, if anything, they are more intense and emotional, creating a groove all their own. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful New Years!

Unfortunately, Cape Lion isn’t available on Spotify so we’re one song short on this version.

Racing Glaciers – Moths

Racing Glaciers are a 5 piece band from Liverpool, UK. They describe themselves as a band that “….write[s] music mostly about rivers and the nighttime,” but they are so much more than that. They are a wonderful, moody, complex, indie rock band. Don’t let the their self description point you in a sad, emo direction. These guys definitely have the chops and some balls in their songs.

Moths starts out as a quiet and thoughtfully laid out song. It continues that way until about 1:35 seconds in when the boys really drop it into the next gear. They build it up and bring it down with such a deft touch, I’m still amazed how wonderfully this song is laid out. Press play and find out for yourself.
