Easter Everywhere Again

It's Easter again! Where do the years ago. It doesn't seem like 12 months since I was feverishly searching for Easter related videos to provide a topical theme to the blog than I'm back again on Youtube doing it again. So here are some tracks and videos with an Easter theme for your delectation.

Julien Aklei
Genre: Indie / Alternative / Folk
From: Louisville, Kentucky, United States

With influences including unicorns, crystals, light pink stones (especially rose quartz). Magicians, Saints, Gandhi, Mother Teresa. Jasmines & Tuberoses, Ylang-ylangs, willow trees, lavenders & roses you can guess that the Julien Aklei sound isn't exactly death metal!

No, as you'd expect from the list of influences it's twee folk that'd embarrass a fey hippy with Julien sounding like Joanna Newsom sans vocal affectations.

Giggle Party
Genre: Of their own
From: Out of nowhere

Cotton candy party punk with a bitter after taste, Giggle Party sound like Bis and are here to brighten up easter with a blast of atari electro, schoolyard chanting and manic laughter that goes by the name 'Easter Tree'.

There are other tracks to download and purchase at the band's website. Click here to find out more.
