Dnak 52

Go back to number 1 – 10.

	Artist	Song Title	Album
11	Real Estate	It’s Real	Days
	Let’s keep the mood upbeat wth a sunny track off of the sophomore album from New Jersey’s Real Estate

12	Wild Flag	Romance	Wild Flag
	I remember seeing this all-female surpergroup (rising out of the ashes of Slater Kinney) at SXSW. Great to see them bring the same brand of hard charging rock on their debut album. Official video.

13	Dum Dum Girls	Bedroom Eyes	Only In Dreams
	Let’s follow with another all female rock group, with a tinge of retro nostalgia out of Los Angeles. Official video

14	Youth Lagoon	Afternoon	The Year of Hibernation
	Boise’s Trevor Powers (aka Youth Lagoon) should be an inspiration to every aspiring musician. He’s a solo artist (although you wouldn’t be able to tell by the sound) that took off when he released a free single to download on his Bandcamp site.

15	Blind Pilot	We Are the Tide	We Are the Tide
	I absolutely loved the debut album from Portland’s Blind Pilot, and am happy to hear new music from their sophomore effort.

16	Future Islands	Balance	On the Water
	Electronic synth-heavy track from Baltimore-based Future Islands. Official video

17	Rob Crow	Prepare to Be Mined	He Thinks He’s People
	I check out everything that Pinback’s Rob Crow does. Amidst all his myriad of projects, he also puts out solo efforts. Here’s a track from his latest.

18	Apparat	Black Water	The Devil’s Walk
	I think that Berlin’s Sascha Ring (aka Apparat) is going to be a big deal. A beautiful track. Official video

19	Surfer Blood	I’m Not Ready	Tarot Classics
	Heard these guys close out their SXSW performance in March with this number, now released on their new EP.

20	Feist	How Come You Never Go There	Metals
	Canadian indie darling Feist is back with her latest album, and she maintains her spare sound, perhaps even going even more low-fi. Hope you enjoyed dnak 52!
