Ever wonder who picks the music you hear in our stores? This is our music committee, we meet and listen to songs, and collectively decide which ones we think are a good fit for our stores! It’s one of my favorite meetings to attend :)
If you guys have any recommendations, leave a comment below!

I think Animal Collective would be a great fit, maybe the song “Brothersport”?
The Parlor Mob. They just came out with a new album titled “DOGS”. It’s available on itunes and spotify. It is REALLY worth the listen and goes perfectly with the free people vibe. You won’t regret it!
Record Collector- Lissie

anything by Foster the People!
Sea Wolf is a great band with awesome songs. Two of my favorites which I think would be a great fit include: “You’re a wolf” and “Wicked blood”.
Additional bands/songs coming to mind:
Band of Skulls “Friends”
Writers Block “Young Folks”
So fun! I love finding new music and telling others about it! Currently I have the Apach Relay and City and Colour on heavy rotation.
Happy Together by the Turtles
Concrete Wall by Zee Avi
Color on the Walls by Foster the People
Sunny Afternoon by the Kinks
California Baby by Jerry Burnham and Wayne Cook (It was in Sandlot 2)
First Aid Kit! They are a Swedish folk duo! They’re voices truly resemble the free spirited nature of Free People! A perfect fit. Voices of angels.

Frank Fairfield – Poor Old Lance
Minks

Josh Ritter- He’s amazing and has that indie feel which is always present in the free people stores!

I think a song called “Run” by Daughter would be a great addition to the stores’ playlist! :)
Stevie Nicks — Gypsy, Violet & Blue, Gold (w/John Stewart), anything by Stevie.
The Decemberists, Fleet Foxes, Owen, Bon Iver. “Right Me Up” by State Radio (or really anything by State Radio!), “I Wished for You” by Jasmine Ash, “A Horse With No Name” by America (classic). And of course anything by Mumford & Sons… I was first exposed when I worked at the Short Hills store and “Awake My Soul” was on the CD for awhile!
The band “Best Coast” has just one album which is filled with light, summer-feel-good tracks, perfect for Free People stores. Check out the “Our Deal” music video with Chloe Moretz
Bonobo! anything from the album black sands
Ben Howard from the UK – just released his album Every Kingdom – great stuff.. Reminds me of Fall.
Also Tycho has some great chill music, along with Gotye (From Australia) and Gypsy and the Cat (also Aussies) ..
Zee Avi – (Artist on Brushfire Records (jack johnson’s label) is also amazzzzing and perfect for FP. stores!
Rilo Kiley. Are we breakin up has been stuck in my head for a bit.

i’m a big music buff – i love anything from folk to alternative.
**a great band i’ve found recently is this small indie band from Minnesota. They’re called “Diet Folk.” Their music is kind of slow and folky, kind of a Bon Iver and Ray Lamontagne mix. their album on itunes, “All We Need,” is great and they could use your support! personal favorites – Crave, Sativa Snow.
some others of my favorites lately have been the kooks’ most recent album “junk of the heart.” pretty much anything on that album is great. personal favorites – F**ck the World Off, Killing Me.
other recently great album: Indigo Girls’ “beauty queen sister”
Mirah & Thao are a wonderful group; they also have a somewhat recent album.
Other miscellaneous bands that I enjoy: Fruit Bats, Elephant Revival, Your Ex-Lover Is Dead – Stars.
you guys have probably heard of all of these and i should stop talking.
love you guys lots, bye.
Parlor Hawk is a really talented local band in Utah. Their album is called Hoarse and Roaring. I think their first song home would be great in your stores… well all of them really! Cheers.
Barton Hollow & 20 Years by The Civil Wars or Hold on by Alabama Shakes
There is a french band you must to know, it’s Brigitte..
Two girls with pretty voices & perfect vintage outfits^^

The Pleasants Earthy, organic songs, harmonies and style would be perfect for the FP store. “Streets Of Darkness” or “Cold Summer’s Night”
