Coeur de Pirate - Coeur de Pirate (2008)

In light of my forthcoming trip to Montréal, I thought I'd post an album by the cutest Québecois girl ever. She's like a French-Canadian Kate Nash. Apparently as of this past March, she's working on her second album. C'est tout en français, fyi. Get it here!

Oh and here's her and Julien Doré covering Umbrella by Rihanna.

Lemuria - The First Collection (2008)

Ridiculously sappy, adorable and incredibly passionate indie/pop punk from Brookyln's finest. Lemuria is tooth-achingly sweet and drips with that poppy glaze that we all love so much. Also, by default, I have now fallen in love with the lead singer, Sheena Ozzella. MAI WAIFU!
