My downstairs neighbor likes to play the guitar. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I don\u2019t dislike guitar playing in general \u2014 some of my best friends<\/em> are guitar players! \u2014 but there is something deliciously universal about the frustration of overhearing too much of some guy\u2019s aimless noodling. Perhaps you too have a neighbor who needs drowning out. If so, here are three tunes to get you through the next 10 minutes or so.<\/span>\n

Empress Of: \u201cLove for Me\u201d<\/h3>\n

I love Empress Of to death, and I\u2019ve listened to her sophomore album Us<\/em><\/a> four or five times since downloading it upon its Friday morning release. It\u2019s full of the bright, lucid dance pop we\u2019ve come to expect from Lorely Rodriguez, and while it\u2019s difficult to choose one of the album tracks to share here, I\u2019ve decided on \u201cLove for Me.\u201d Co-produced with DJDS, whose handful of songs with Lorely include a Lana Del Rey cover<\/a>, \u201cLove for Me\u201d is a bouncy plea for honesty. Its melody flows like a ribbon, propelled by a subtle synth brass accents. Without ever getting out of hand, it\u2019s a song that commands you to dance.<\/p>\n
