I love it when I find out about awesome local artists, especially when I live somewhere not known for this kind of music. "One Day We'll Die Reclaimed By The Earth" is a short and beautiful "sleepycore" track (it's easy to fall asleep to, but not so slow you can't listen to it in the day, but not so slow that you can't listen to it mid-day). It's got an awesome, cinematic feeling, put beneath some truly magnificent lyrics, making it quite the stellar track.

Koda hails from my city, which has produced approximately one awesome, well-known indie artist. However, his work has such an interesting and unique sound, it might propel him to the same fame, making him someone I am going to keep an eye on this year.
