Welcome to the "Daily Song Drop": theguysfrom.com's song of the day feature where our resident indie music writer and former DJ Shaun Cordingley features a song every weekday that he feels you need to hear. If you enjoy the track, please share it, so we can keep on talking about great new music!
Chameleon - Satellite Stories
Finnish indie pop rock band Satellite Stories make their return to theguysfrom.com today (having first featured back on "Tuesday Tunes" in August 2016) with their latest single "Chameleon" which you can check out below:
If you are ever looking for new, fun pop-rock, I'm not sure why you would go any farther than Satellite Stories. "Chameleon" has everything a great pop-rock track needs: unique and upbeat vocals from Esa Mankinen that are repeated just enough to stick with you (but not so much that they become repetitive), a great use of electric guitar over top of what is a very EDM style beat to get you moving, and excellent balance in production that ties a lot of moving parts together into an engaging package.
I'm actually kind of surprised that we haven't talked about Satellite Stories in so long, but if this happens to be your first introduction to them, then you have quite a few great tracks to check out, including "CAMPFIRE" (which you probably have heard if you are into indie pop-rock), "Vagabonds" (which is what we featured in 2016), or the more recent, folk-tinged "Radiant
For the first time ever on theguysfrom.com, here is the December Apple Music Playlist, and the December '17 Spotify Playlist! I decided that, rather than making myself crazy with a hybrid list between the two months (and thanks to the fact that I did a feature-full month) I would put this one together, which just means that the January playlist will be a tad shorter than most thanks to the TGF Top 50 Songs of 2017 (with the in countdown order Apple Music TGF Top 50 Songs of 2017 as Well as the Spotify TGF Top 50 Songs of 2017 playlists here)
If you're looking for any of our past playlists, be sure to check out a Friday DSD feature, or search for theguysfrom on either Apple Music or Spotify!
See you tomorrow for our next Daily Song Drop!
