During the day-to-day process of matching bands with brands, our Music Supervisors are obliged to listen to an eclectic spectrum of music. From high-fashion retailers to fast-casual restaurants, the search for needed content exposes our team to a wide range of emerging talent and overlooked classics.
One of our Music Supervisors, Mark Campbell, has featured four songs from Band of Horses, Postiljonen, Tiga, and Blitzen Trapper which reflect the diverse scope of songs our team utilizes on a daily basis. You can check out these songs, as well as many other new releases chosen by our Music Supervisor team, using the Brand Radio player below.

Track: Casual Party
From their forthcoming album Why Are You OK (due out this June), the Seattle rockers share their new single – a peppy, indie rock gem that indicates a slight departure from their previous sound. If this song is any indication, this album should be a standout for 2016. Having Rick Rubin as executive producer on the LP will certainly help in the publicity department.

Track: Supreme
As a synthesizer enthusiast, I find myself drawn to all things in the world of electronic music. Recalling the HI-NRG sounds of the mid-80’s, this dream pop band from Sweden delivers a remarkable track that lives up to the genre’s name – its dreamy (washed out, whimsical vocals) and its pop (tap-your-toes electro goodness).
Artist: Tiga
Twitter: @Tiga
Track: Make Me Fall In Love
The prolific Canadian-born DJ, remixer, and producer recently released his latest album No Fantasy Required. This track is a good representation of the overall feel and direction of the record – a seemingly effortless mishmash of vintage and modern, classic sounds intertwined with modern tech.

Track: Nights Were Made For Love
Released late last year, All Across This Land from the Oregon-based rock/folk/country band is exceptional, arguably the best of their career. This track, which has been compared to early Springsteen songs, is a standout. If you haven’t heard the full LP yet, be sure to check it out. The retro-tinged sounds of 70’s-era rock are effective, tasteful, and fun.
