More than it should have, the lack of concerts affected our motivation to write about music discovers. The hunting and the gathering continued, but the writing fell to the wayside. With only a few days left in 2020, it’s time to clean the closet of blogworthy discovers from the year. Here are four songs that stand strong alone, but we hear an influence (rightly or not).
Mid City is based in Melbourne, Australia.
Their sound, and particularly the vocals, carry a connection to The Killers.

The Tame and the Wild identify their influences in the sounds of bands such as Daughter, Boy, Kodaline or Feist. But we hear Of Monsters and Men. They are the duo of Seja Katharina Rockel (vocals, guitar) and Flëpp Wenger (bass, guitar, backings), along with band members Maurizio DiStasi (guitars, backings), Alain Kremer (guitars), Tom Goedert (keys, backings), and Pete Mertens (drums).

As we noted in a 2019 post, “if you enjoy
the vocal style of Bon Iver, it’s time to spend more time with the music of
Hayden Calnin. He is a Melbourne vocalist/songwriter.” This song includes an
orchestral ending and elegant piano.
“Oh What a Mess I'm In” by Hayden Calnin
The Mighty Small is Paolo Morena. The
pianist in this song is Philip Gardiner. The song bears resemblances to the sound
of Arcade Fire.
“Dee Dee Have You Got Your Boots On?” by The Mighty Small
