OK, cats, kittens, lovers and other strangers. Let’s see if we can use Bandcamp’s New Arrivals to stitch together a mood. What mood should we dial in tonight? Let’s crank up the Wayback Machine and set the controls to Nostalgia and the bittersweet longing for that Pure Love that sends a chill up the right side of your neck and impels you to place your hand over that soft area just below your sternum.

First up: Forest City Lovers (Kat Burns, guitar and voice) with “Mailtrucks.” The simple, nearly spoken words recall that long lost time when people actually committed their thoughts of love to paper, to be mailed to a distant town or furtively handed over in a crowded hallway, to someday find their way to a red box in a closeted space under the basement stairs. “Mailtrucks,” from the EP Acoustic + Rare Songs, is available on Bandcamp.

Next, we find Alex G and “Sorry,” from the album DSU, with a dose of I-remember-you surfy shoegaze. The title encapsules the song’s theme, with lyrics that bare a sincere immediacy.

i look at you
and feel the same
could you forgive me
for that pain

pariah kid
lost in a game
can you forgive me
for that pain

Let he who has not committed a sin born of the outcast’s pain cast the first stone. And cast your cursor on Alex G’s many LPs and EPs on Bandcamp.

Our third song drifts down from Victoria, British Columbia. Balacade summons the spirit of Neil Young with “Sunset Sound” from the album From Memory. Just give me a memory today and I can forget about tomorrow. But don’t forget to download From Memory on Bandcamp.

And finally Heather Hammers slips us a thoroughly charming cover of the much-covered Jackson Browne classic, “These Days.” These days you can find Heather Hammers, and the album Covers, on Bandcamp.

So that’s our mood for this Sunday night… Night night. Sleep tight. And don’t let the zombies bite into your skull and suck out your brains.
