A Lily

James Vella, here working as the multi tasking lone personnel of A Lily, is also known for his work as guitarist/composer for the British post-classical/indie band yndi halda and as the owner of the O Rosa Records label. Very soothing & sweet, organic laptop-based music. Another one to just go outside, lay in the sun, close your eyes and zone out to. This album is in two parts, so make sure to get both.

The Cranberries

The Cranberries are an alternative rock band from Limerick, Ireland that formed in 1989 and rose to mainstream popularity in the early 1990’s. Combining the melodic jangle of post-The Smiths indie pop with the lilting, trance-inducing sonic textures of late-80s dream pop and adding a slight Celtic tint, The Cranberries became one of the more successful groups to emerge from the pre-Britpop UK indie scene of the early 90s. Such an amazing band. Do yourself a favor, get this greatest hits album.

Slowdive

Slowdive was a dream pop / shoegaze band formed in 1989, lasting until 1995. The band was formed in Reading, Berkshire, England and signed to Creation Records in the UK. The band’s sound was influenced by the Cocteau Twins and Creation label mates My Bloody Valentine, featuring heavy use of guitar effects and muted vocals. This is one of my all time favorite bands. It seems everyone I know only has Souvlaki, which is an amazing album, but all their other material is amazing as well. Do yourself a favor and download everything by this wonderful band.
