Artist Spotlight: Cub Scouts

For today's edition of Artist Spotlight, we had to the land Down Under, specifically Brisbane, Australia and unwrap the eclectic sounds of Cub Scouts. The band consists of Tim Nelson on vocals and piano, Zoe Davis on vocals and bass, Sam Netterfield on vocals and keys, Daniel Puusaari on drums, and Andrew Williams on guitar. The band has a dreamy, focused indie rock dynamic similar to the stylings of Beach House and Vacationer with a strong emphasis put on keyboards and synthesizers to get their musical point across to their prospective listening audience. I've become a bigger fan of indie rock in the past few years, specifically the aforementioned bands I previously mentioned that utilize an electronic dynamic within their music that makes it feel like you're watching the band live in concert right before your very eyes, and in awe and amazement of the musical kinship of everyone involved who have gathered to create these compositions for you. A terrific indie band that is definitely deserving of greater exposure here in the U.S. Some highly recommended tracks for you to check out include "Evie" and "Told You So".
