I am, pretty much, obsessed with North Highlands. I included their album Wild One as one of my favorite LPs of 2011 and I really want you to listen to it. You can hear the whole thing on Bandcamp as well as Spotify. Like many of the bands I've highlighted so far, North Highlands are based in Brooklyn and feature a female lead-singer. Their music is perfect, little, 3 minute pop confections that make you want to pogo in your living room and/or swoon depending on which track you've cued up. I'm really excited about North Highlands and I hope they have a very fruitful experience at SXSW. If you like what you hear, tell a friend and spread the love because right now they don't have as much buzz as I think they should/could.
