Electronic | Knox Road

Glass Animals

Glass Animals, from London and the Southeast UK, have a comforting, unique sound. Their ability to mix experimental, electronic samples with accessible rhythms is not an easy feat. The music is at once tranquil and calming, but the grooves-driven sound gives Glass Animals a great deal of swagger.

Dave Bayley is the [...]

jj's nº 3 is so Swedish (read: lovely)

I love being the resident Swedish reviewer on Knox Road. Because the Swedes know what they’re doing with pop, period. So it comes as no surprise that Joakim Benon and Elin Kastlander, the duo behind jj, have delivered a stunningly refreshing work of indie pop on their second full-length album, nº 3. [...]

MP3s from the now defunct Europe in Colour

Our friend Alt Altman (aka Digits, the electronic indie pop artist) sent over a few tunes last week of a band he was previously in, titled Europe in Colour, from 2005-2009. They were based in Toronto and released one self-titled EP in 2007. Unfortunately they recently broke up, so we won’t get [...]

[MP3] Hands: "Windows"

Stumbled upon this beauty of a track today and couldn’t help but post it ASAP. Mixing everything we’ve come to love about 2009′s progression of tribal influences and experimentation, Hands, a duo out of Los Angeles, are more than ready to carve out a role for themselves in the indie pop scene [...]

Zach is back! (Lipkins, of course)

Remember our interview with Zach Lipkins, the musical genius out of the Berklee School of Music in Boston? Well, you didn’t think we’d leave you hanging with just that did you?? No! Zach is back – he sent three brand new songs our way as he readies himself for his next album. [...]

[MP3] ArpLine: “Fold Up Like A Piece of Paper”

Brooklyn’s ArpLine (formerly The Kiss Off) are destined for great things. Having finished recording a full-length with producer Chris Coady (Grizzly Bear, TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead,) the five-piece crew are ready to release the album later this year and we have the first single for you in [...]

Illinois’ Adventures are complete

Emo cover art, much? After their critcally acclaimed What The Hell Do I Know, which dropped in ’07, the Illinois boys (from Pennsylvania…duh) are back with The Adventures of Kid Catasrophe, finally released in full yesterday (June 9). They’ve been teasing/pleasing us with a chapter (video and EP release) of Kid Catasrophe [...]

Opposites attract: What’s Up and Lullatone

We recently received a couple nice mp3s from one of our trustworthy sources, but didn’t really expect to feature the songs because of the backlog of other material we have at hand. Well… I changed my mind – I’m posting them.

When I listened to one right after the other, I thought [...]

Apple’s new indie sampler: Dance and Electronic

Apple came out with one of their sporadic installments of free indie spotlight samplers yesterday for all to redeem and download. This mix is slightly surprising considering they usually spotlight singer/songwriters and more accessible stuff to the “common folk” (thought that’s not the case for their recently launched indie spotlight section in [...]

Five nights of Thievery Corporation

The 930 club in DC is going to be hosting Thievery Corporation tonight. And for the next four nights in a row. It blows my mind how quickly the first three shows sold out. So what do they do? Put up another two. How quickly do those sell out? Lets just say [...]
