So summer is upon up and who does not enjoy listening to some new tunes over the summer? Here are some artists that I am totally digging into this summer.

Here are mine….who are you listening to this summer?

William Fitzsimmons :

I just started listening to William Fitzsimmons. I heard a song on a Paste sampler and fell in love. His style is sort of dreamy folk. I quickly bought all his albums and have had them on a steady dose of repeat. ‘The Sparrow And The Crow’ is Fitzsimmons latest album is an amazing ear treat from beginning to end.

Molly Jenson

I first read an article about Molly Jenson at Relevant Magazine. I was curious so I checked out some sound clips and was surprised to hear a duet with Jon Foreman.  I bought the album and surprised at how great her album was. It is a fun driving with the windows down album.

As I started doing research I found that she used to be a worship leader in Southern California, but as she started writing she found her songs to be less worship and more relationship/story songs.

Be sure and check out this great album. Also check out her site for a link to her oh so fun blog and artwork.

Bon Iver

Much like William Fitzsimmons, I fell in Love with Bon Iver upon first listen. ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’ is the most amazing album that I can listen to over and over.

His lyrics are amazing stories of life and love. One of my favorites is from ‘Skinny Love’

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And now all your love is wasted
And who the hell was I?
I’m breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Ooh, ooh

St. Vincent

I first heard St. Vincent a little over a year ago and have listened to her on constant repeat ever since. Her first album was amazing and her second album ‘actor’ was even more amazing. She has fun music that is catchy and delicious.
