San Francisco - The Mowgli's
     So, if I'm going to be honest, I haven't really broken myself away from Lorde's or HAIM's albums since they released at the end of the month, exceptions being when I'm at work or sleeping. And clearly Tori beat me to the punch on Lorde, and I didn't want to post the same artists two weeks in a row and bore you with my girl crushes on HAIM. Anyway, The Mowgli's aren't my usual style of music, but this was too catchy to resist. The band resides in California, but after doing a little bit of research I found out that the singer is from Kansas City, how awesome is that? Okay, it's really only awesome if you're from there as well but I definitely am more interested in checking into more of their music now.

Metal & Dust – London Grammar
I have 8tracks to thank for this week’s selection. I’ve heard this trio’s name pop up a few times, but never actually had a listen. Obviously I’m glad I finally did. “Metal & Dust” is easily my favorite track off If You Wait but Hannah Reid’s voice is 10/10 all around. I love the group’s vocal focus and the almost eerie sound of their album. Hopefully I can listen to it closer once I’ve exhausted Lorde and Rizzle Kicks’ new offerings (much like Tori I’ve been unhealthily obsessed with both). Still, would absolutely recommend you check out these dudez.

The Wire - Haim
Okay so quick change for this week's On Repeat. I was originally going to post something from NWTS, even though I promised myself I wouldn't give into the hype, I did and I still love that album. But I saw an ad for a HAIM show that was coming to town in a few weeks and had been meaning to listen to them so I finally did and my God. Why did I wait? These girls are ridiculously talented. Their album drops September 30, but they've got some singles & EPs already out. So check it folks, cause they're great and fantastic and I should've listened to BuzzFeed from the start.

Team - Lorde
     We here at FBG are no strangers to Lorde. She's essentially the biggest musical badass on Planet Earth. Probably, anyway. At age 16, she's made it onto the Billboard Top 100 and boasts some incredibly relatable pop tracks that put some of her older counterparts to shame. If "Team" is any indication of how her new album (Pure Heroine, dropping Monday) will pan out I'll be the first to get my hands on it. The same clever lyrics have returned, and somehow the beats have gotten better still. This woman.





KAYSON
National Anthem - Lana Del Rey
Okay so, i'll be the first to admit that I honestly despised Lana when she first became a huge hit. I'm not sure why, I just didn't like her persona I guess you could call it. Yet lately, I've been very intrigued by her music(also very intrigued with her). I dig this song because of her lovely voice as well as very interesting lyrics. It's true "tell me i'm your national anthem" okay!?





TORI
Sticks and Stones- Arlissa
It's been a very woman themed week! I guess Jen didn't get the memo, jk, jk.
Anyway, Arlissa has a crazy awesome voice. It is so soulful and just I don't even know. I love this song because it is a more soul/r&b type song but then it has this amazing beat that shouldn't actually work with the song but it makes it just that much better. I can't wait to hear more from this girl!

Hello loves! I promise, we're going to try our best to not miss On Repeat again. Two weeks without our wonderful music taste is too much. Unless you guys would prefer to see an extra post on Fridays and On Repeat once every two weeks? Let us know in the comments or on twitter! xx
