Young Man "Unfair"

I've listened and liked before, but am really digging Young Man right now. This project by 20-year-old Chicago based songwriter, Colin Caulfield is something to definitely keep an eye on in 2010. His debut album, Boy, is planned for a spring/summer release and I'm hoping some Chicago shows will pop up soon. Here's a lovely new tune, "Unfair," performed recently in France, during a stint of shows supporting Deacon of Animal Collective. Also, head on over to I Guess I'm Floating and Colin's YouTube page for a few more mp3s.

Mesita "Living/Breathing"

I was just sent this track, "Living/Breathing," and am digging it. Mesita is a solo project of a 21-year-old self-taught multi-instrumentalist from Littleton, Colorado, which instantly reminds of a mix between Animal Collective, Bon Iver, and As Tall As Lions. Have a listen below and check out two other EP's over on Bandcamp.
