First up is an artist named Ed Riman, who records under the name Hilang Child. He released his debut EP First Writings (which you can stream or download in the widget below) in November. I just stumbled upon it now after a review on
Everybody Taste, but since then I've been returning to it almost daily. The first track "Chaturanga" reminds me a bit of Fleet Foxes. The second track, "At Rhossili," is equally as gorgeous as the first but more sparsely textured outside his voice. As Everybody Taste mentions, its a great winter record, so start listening now while the weather remains chilly and dark. The Hilang Child Facebook page (which somehow has fewer than 100 "likes") mentions a possible second EP in the works. I can't wait to hear it because I will have almost certainly played the heck out of the first one by then. Check it out below.

When I haven't been obsessively listening to Hilang Child, I've been obsessively listening to a new song by The Postelles featuring Alex Winston. This track was a discovery from the blog
All Things Go. The band apparently released their first album in 2011, but this is the first I've heard them. The below track, "Pretend It's Love," is from their upcoming second album "...And It Shook Me," which will be out in April. The Postelles are a garage rock group from New York whose first album was by a member of The Strokes, but what really makes "Pretend It's Love" work is the back and forth between lead singer Daniel Balk and guest Alex Winston. I don't know what to expect from the rest of the album when it comes out, but I'm certainly intrigued and will be checking it out as well as looking for previous music by both of these artists. At the very least, they've created an absolute gem of a song in "Pretend It's Love" that is already looking like it could be one of my favorites of 2013. You can stream the track below or download it below.
