[Acoustic Cover] The Kooks – Kids (MGMT)
![the kooks cover songs2 [Acoustic Cover] The Kooks Kids (MGMT)](http://themusicninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/the-kooks-cover-songs2.jpg "the-kooks-cover-songs")
I have previously mentioned how I have grown a thick skin to all the way too many remixes of MGMT’s Kids. Yet this cover simply blew me away. The Kooks, a British indie pop band, have rejuvinated my liking to Kids with their amazing cover. The Kooks have been known to do many covers of popular songs like Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy and Coldplay’s Violet Hill.

[Chillax] Soft, Minimalistic and Amazing: The Xx
![the xx the band music2 [Chillax] Soft, Minimalistic and Amazing: The Xx](http://themusicninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/the-xx-the-band-music2.jpg "the-xx-the-band-music")
Not sure why it took me so long to write about The Xx. If you follow other music blogs or music aggregators like hypem, elbows, or mog, it would have been impossible for you to miss them. They took the internet by storm with their soft mellow songs that were melodically rich and incredibly fresh music style.
The Xx minimalist approach to their music is the perfect example that less is most often better. They band from south west London, England released their album XX on 17 August 2009. Some polls made by music bloggers suggest that this album might be the best of 2009. Whether you agree or not, this album is a must when all you want to do is relax to good music.

Michael Rossback: Acoustic Rock at its Best
I recently discovered Michael Rossback music on thesixtyone and I do not know why I haven’t heard him before, his acoustic rock songs along with an impressive voice, similar to Chris Martin’s, just made me buy all 4 of his independent albums… with no regrets. Micheal Rossback spends most of his time in the studio producing other artist but that has not stopped him from recording his own music. Although most of his songs are comprised of acoustic instrumentals, his songs have a heavy rock influence. In addition, some of his songs have an experimental foundation that combined with his heavy but soothing rock voice, makes you compare him to popular bands like Radiohead and Coldplay. Micheal has taken me by surprised and I hope he does the same to you. I have included one of the most experimental sounding songs from him titled “In Dreams” from his album “In Dreams
” released independently February of 2008. It is emotionally powerful enough to appear in a soundtrack of a TV show on some type of romantic farewell scene. On the same album, there is a much mellow, acoustic guitar, soft song titled “Best Dreams” that’s lyrics are as gentle as they sound sincere. I probably like this song a lot due to its lyrics that go “Give love away, live your tomorrow, today” a phrase that everyone should try to live by.

Mellow Music Madness
From her solo debut album titled “Sea Sew” comes Irish singer Lisa Hannigan‘s first single “Lille”, a mellow melodic instrumental song that is bound to lower your heart-rate. Her album Sea Sew was released in Ireland on September 2008 and then an American release followed February 2009. You can check Lisa receiving the Colbert Bump when she appeared on the Colbert Report here.

This second song comes from American-born musician Sean Fournier. In his album “Oh My” (available for free download) spreads across many genres including folk, acoustic and pop. The song “Another like you” really stands out as the slow tempo and mellow acoustic in the background enables him to showcase his great signing voice. He is on a quest to spread his music around the world, and judging by the many great songs on his albums, I will definitely join his cause. Go to http://www.sean-fournier.com/ohmy/ to download “Oh My”!
“Another like you” – Sean Fournier
Another like you
Quebec Antique is a project by duo Andy Dollerson and Michael Blake. Their Album “The Abbey Tapes” is a mix between Ambient and Electronica with sprinkles of Pop thrown in. If you like this song I highly recommend that you listen to “Right as Rain”, which sounds similar to some of Dntel and Imogen Heap’s slower, more ambient songs. You can listen to their whole album at their virb.com
