Song of the Month: Chvrches, Miracle

Man, there’s so much good music coming out lately I can’t even keep up. Between new releases from both Chvrches and Sc Mira, not to mention some promising entries from new artists, I’ve almost got more songs to listen to than time to listen to them.

There is therefore no shortage of good candidates for Song of the Month, but one option edges out the rest: the latest release from Chvrches’ upcoming Love Is Dead album, titled “Miracle.”

This feels different from most Chvrches songs. It’s heavier and more intense, and it feels like they’re channeling Imagine Dragons a bit. But it’s a change I wholeheartedly embrace. It’s an amazing, powerful song.

I think I found my theme song for book four of Soulcleaver

Song of the Month: Phantogram, When I’m Small

We have now entered my least favourite time of the year: Spring. A seeming eternity of gloom, rain, mud, and slush.

This puts me in mind of one of my favourite “rainy day” songs, When I’m Small by American trip hop duo Phantogram. Tell me you don’t think of rainy, dark days as you’re listening to this.

I’m not the biggest Phantogram fan, but this is a really lovely song. Dat bass.
