LolaMarsh-Waitress



Such a beautiful song. I fell in love with LolaMarsh's BalconyTV clip "Stranger to My Past" and they seem to just be getting better and better! I really love their singles on bandcamp and the influence of Fleet Foxes (whom Yael covers here). I'm a bit tired of Fleet Foxes but I don't see that happening at all with this talented group, mainly due to the lovely vocals and the band's high spirits. Perfect for warm summer nights.

Renana Ne'eman-Sand Storm



This isn't a very new song but it is a new addition to Galgaltz's prestigious playlist so it's well worth mentioning. Renana Ne'eman is so captivating-I could watch her for hours. She shines with talent and I can't wait to hear her debut album. You can download the official single for this song here.

And outside it's already the end of the world
The grey skies are dirtying me
And the city is again all hills and sands
There's no difference between skies and land
And the land was in chaos
And I called for help

And outside it's already the end of the world
Rainstorm of winter not winter
Desert air from a different country
A full moon hangs in the sky
Showing and hiding and alerting-
My girl there is still a long way to go
And I called for help

And not to your god
And not to the Merciful Father
Not to the hero
Not to the prophet

And outside it;s already the end of the world
And I don't even care
I go to sleep and my whole head is flooded
Pictures of people written words
No time to think no time to rest
Always someone chasing someone
And someone is always chased
And I called for help

And not to your God
Not to the Merciful Father
Not to the hero
Not to the prophet

I called to myself and did not get a response

Daya Raz-Don't Take it to Bed



I first came across Daya a couple of years ago with her excellent "Polish" song and clip which really captured the vibe of Tel Aviv and her loveable rock-star "I don't give a damn" attitude . But I also really love how her music style has developed since then-she sounds a lot more comfortable here, but in a very good way. Plus the clip is perfect for dreamy summer days.

Open the front door
Leave it all outside
Nothing is important anymore
There's nowhere to run
Take off your socks
Do you feel your knees?
Long arms are waiting just for you

Forget the Italiano
The metro
Forget that you didn't know to decide
So come home take a taxi
Buy flowers at the Carmelit
Forget that you didn't know to decide
Big eyes are waiting just for you
Don't take it to bed

Forget all that was
Just fall and lie down
Cover your head under the shirt
Tell her everything and don't say a word
Take a close breath
It doesn't matter who you are
Just don't take it to bed

Forget the Italian
The metro
Forget that you didn't know to decide
So come home take a taxi
Forget that you didn't know to decide
Big eyes are waiting just for you
Don't take it to bed
