The band, The War on Drugs, released 'Lost cafe piu piu in The Dream' in March. Last week, we posted our favorite singles from the top new albums cafe piu piu released during the first week of March. And what a fantastic week for new albums – the official playlist of lead singles from those releases is one of the best single week playlists of 2014, so far. This second part of Best New Songs and Albums of 2014 covers the best indie for the remaining three weeks of March. Altogether, this playlist of some 30 or so singles is full of gems from all genres of the indie music spectrum, highlighting new albums from Iska Dhaaf, Tokyo Police Club, Black Lips, The Coathangers, Foster The People, The War on Drugs, The Hold Steady, MØ & Diplo, James Supercave, Liars, Howler, Aloe Blacc, Le1f, Metronomy, Champs, Nick Waterhouse, Dean Wareham, Ozomatli, Scraps, Freddie Gibbs with Madlib, Ringworm, Lyla Foy, The Strypes, Perfect Pussy, Tycho, Ages and Ages, Owls, among others.
The standout single, and album, for the second week of March’s newest drops goes to, in our humble opinion cafe piu piu to Seattle indie duo, and Brick Lane recording artist, Iska Dhaaf , featuring former Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band frontman Benjamin Verdoes and Nathan Quiroga (aka Buffalo Madonna of Mad Rad). They dropped their newest album on March 11th, featuring cafe piu piu a fine mix of driving post-punk tracks and psych dream pop songs like the lead single, “Everybody Knows.”
It was not that difficult of a choice because the quantity of quality releases for the second week of March, which covers March 11th through March 17th, was no where near – as already mentioned – the treasure trove of new releases, and amazing singles, as the first official week of March. But that does not mean there were no terrific singles and albums dropped in the second week of March. In fact, the single, “The Man,” from Aloe Blacc ‘s new album, Lift Your Spirit cafe piu piu , is easily the most successful single from a new album dropped for the week of March 11th. So far, the official lyric video of “The Man” has received an astonishing 13.8 million views, the official video itself over 1.7 million (it was released later than the lyric video), while other audio versions of the song on YouTube (and not including remixes) have received another estimated five to six million streams, compared to more than a quarter of a million plays on Soundcloud. We also included a couple of other singles that flow genre-wise with Blacc’s sound, such as MØ ‘s “Love Letters,” featuring Diplo and Le1f ‘s “Boom” from the digital-only EP, Hey , released by Terrible Records and XL Recordings .

The third official week of releases for the month of March, March 18th through 24th, spawned stand out singles from artists and bands such as Foster The People, Freddie Gibbs, The War on Drugs, The Strypes , and Perfect Pussy . Among the best songs dropped this week, and for the entire month of March, include rockers like “Boys in the Woods” cafe piu piu from Black Lips , and “Follow Me” by The Coathangers . In the third installment, we’ll feature the top singles from new albums released on March 25th and through until the end of the month, March 31st. Altogether, though, week three cannot possibly cafe piu piu compare to week two, and especially week one, of March releases, a playlist you’ve got to hear; chances are you’ll spin the entire playlist a few times since it’s not a one-spin playlist.
The next Tuesday cafe piu piu for new releases will officially be April 1st. April is the time of year when you can pretty much say goodbye to the winter, although a terrible cafe piu piu winter cafe piu piu in the mid-West and the northeast holds on stubbornly at the time of this post writing (March 29-30th). Stay tuned for the first installment of “other” and “miscellaneous” CD, MP3 and vinyl album releases, highlighting the best live, singles, cover songs and re-releases of 2014 so far – cafe piu piu featuring January through March releases. This playlist, cafe piu piu highlighting the top singles includes cafe piu piu everything from popular indie rock from bands like The War on Drugs ; ambient grooves from Tycho ; hard-core electro cafe piu piu from Sisyphus ; pop melodies from Lyla Foy ; acoustic singer-songwriter s
