Songs of the Month!

Here are a few choice picks of the best new jams on 91.3 as we speak!
Doves- “Kingdom of Rust”
It took them awhile, but Doves have returned with another fine record, centered around this elegant arena-indie rocker. The Manchester trio’s new single skips along at the pace of Last Broadcast’s “There Goes The Fear Again” and packs the chiming splendor of Some Cities’ “Snowden” Maybe if Chris Martin was less concerned with ruling the world his band would have the appeal of this heavily underrated trio of Radiohead followers.
White Lies- “To Lose My Life”
Looking for the hot new British post-punk band? Look no further than this trio, whose baritone-voiced angular stomp seems primed to be headlining Glastonbury within three years. Fans of Depeche Mode, Editors, and The Cure should be aching to hear this new TSR favorite.
Lady Sovereign- “So Human”
Five-foot-one British rapper Lady Sovereign is back, free of the major label universe, and sounding more like Lily Allen than The Streets this time around. Here, she takes her new sound to the popular Cure track and adds a welcome twist.
Bat For Lashes- “Daniel”
The lead single off the totally badass new Bat For Lashes record is a synthy 80′s space-out the likes of which would make M83 jealous. And to sweeten the deal, it’s loosely based on the character of Daniel LaRusso from Karate Kid. Prepare to see this on many, many year-end top songs lists.
