The Young Empires are a band out of Toronto with an already impressive catalog. They are also known for making some great videos. I posted this song once before, in a new Canadian release post, but I liked it then, and I like it now. Their sound is very Arcade Fire like with a dash of Coldplay. Enjoy White Doves.

Song Of The Day – Kimbra – “Settle Down”
Now that I am back from my first round of golf for the season, it is time for some Kimbra. At the moment, she maybe the biggest unknown singer on the planet, in most circles. The reason you ask, simple. You have probably heard a little ditty called “Somebody That I Used To know” by Gotye. The female singer is Kimbra. She hails from New Zealand and has quite the career going for her even without appearing in this tune. The track here is a live version of one of her hits “Settle Down” as performed at SXSW.
