Amarante - Enchanting the Siren

Amarante has become an instant favorite of mine, I don't believe I've heard something quite like this band before. If you are on SoundCloud you've probably already heard of them, if not you have no idea what you are missing.

They release a new album this year called Enchanting the Siren, as the title suggest it is a really ethereal album, with a unique sound and a ton of wonderful collaborations.

Have a listen!

~ Amarante - Enchanting the siren (Album Teaser) ~

~ Amarante - Hallucination ~

~ Amarante - Into the dark ~

~ Amarante - Flicker ~

And another 2 songs off the album that are posted only on soundcloud:

~ Amarate - World outside our Window ~

~ Amarante - Black of my heart ~

To be hones, black of my heart is one of my favorites from the album.

You can listen to the whole record on bandcamp, so for all information on the band head to their official soundcloud by clicking right here!

Have fun listening!

Blogmas | Winter movie animations

I always loved animations and during winter time we have a wide selection from Christmas themed to Winter themed animations. Here is my top 5 wintery animations:

❄ Tinker Bell and The Secret of The Wings ❄ 

This one is probably my favorite animation set during Winter. Tinker Bell is an iconic character, which I adored ever since I was 10, when I read Peter Pan. I always loved her curiosity and her ability to follow her heart and the way she changes her world a little step at a time.

Also, I loved the sister relationship portrayed in this movie and how blood is thicker than water. As always the friendship between all the fairies, their care for their community and how they stand up to face whatever comes their way, lessons we should never forget.

❄ Rise of the Guardians  ❄

Rise of the Guardians is all about the quote "Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing" and the struggle between good and evil. A majestic animations, with all of our favorite childhood characters: Easter Bunny, Jack Frost, Santa, Tooth Fairy and Sandy - the Guardian of Dreams. 

❄ Frozen ❄

Frozen, who hasn't seen the movie or heard the hit song Let it go? Even though it isn't one of my favorite Disney movies (nothing can beat Tangled) I would like to say that Olaf and Sven are absolutely adorable! 

❄  Happy Feet ❄ 

I know that during December North pole gets all the attention, but what about the South Pole? I mean penguins are so sweet and funny and have the most amazing way of walking! There is even a dance called the Penguin Dance, you can't compete with that!

❄ Snow Queen ❄

This story is about an orphan girl with magical powers who reconnects with her brother, she didn't even know she had. And as you can imagine there are a series of adventures that take place in a magical, frozen land!

These are my favorite animations set in Winter.

Enjoy!
