Vivek Shraya

I got an e-mail the other day from an independent Canadian musician Vivek Shraya who has just recently released his debut album If We’re Not Talking. I was duly impressed with the tracks that I’ve heard thus far, and it seems to me that Shraya has got a sound that can take him to the top of the elbo.ws charts. The song “Fevered” sounds vocally like an excellent Apples in Stereo song that’s got somehow got mixed in a blender with Of Montreal’s catchy 60’s pop rhythms. “Chemistry” is a little more on the electronic side, with a pounding beat and some kitchy guitars. Be sure to check out his myspace here, and buy If We’re Not Talking.

Listen to “Fevered” (4.8/5)
Listen to “Chemistry” (4.5/5)

Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins

Perhaps better known for her work with Rilo Kiley, and even for her collaboration with the Postal Service, today’s tracks are from Jenny’s solo work with the Watson Twins.

First, listen to “Fernando,” taken from her performance on Conan…(4.38/5)
Then, take a trip to “Paradise,” as performed in Somerville, Massachusetts…(5+/5)
Finally, “Handle with Care,” as she teams up with Ben Gibbard in Malmo, Sweden…(4.265/5)
