Langhorne Slim
Mister Slim makes feel good music of the highest variety and the video for “Cinderella” – a collection of concert footage and fan hangs – captures his playfulness perfectly. If you’re unfamiliar with Langhorne Slim’s music you need to get busy buying his records and seeing his shows. He writes poetic ballads, as well as, some straight up rowdy good time tunes.

Chiddy Bang
Another fine example of the amazing music being created by Philly artists Chiddy Bang is a hip hop duo getting a lot of attention for their use of indie samples in their work. This is perhaps my favorite so far. They grab some of Passion Pit’s “Better Things” and run with its positive message. The guys are off galavanting through Europe for a good long stretch but when they do get back they’re on the top of my list to catch live.
Dosh
The video for Dosh’s new single “Airlift” reflects the whimsical and distracted spirit of the track. It is stop motion magic and such a fantastic 4minute 48second break in your day. Dosh’s new album Tommy came out on April 13th and features a little Andrew Bird action on the track “Number 41.” It is an adventurous album, well worth your ears and dollars.

Wakey!Wakey!
In a short period of time Wakey!Wakey! has burst into the hearts of the masses deservedly so. Having paid his dues playing scads of shows all over New York for years it is great to see him hit his stride. This video for “Car Crash,” just one of the grand tracks off of his new album Almost Everything I Wish I’d Said The Last Time I Saw You…, wears the simple beauty of pretty much everything Mike Grubbs touches.
