Recently brought to my attention by the one and only Abby (from Abby’s Road fame – duh), Lymbyc Systym, otherwise known as brothers Jared and Michael Bell, have become a fast-rising act. Their newest full-length, Shutter Release, dropped November 3 and has been earning critical acclaim for its forceful and dreamy instrumental nature. The Bells [...]

 One comment | Been listening a lot lately to James Yuill’s Turning Down Water For Air, an album released back in January of this year, and frustrated is the first emotion that comes to mind; why have I not listened sooner? Yuill’s music is right up my alley with electroacoustic digs and a distinct folk vocal tone; he [...] October 26th, 2009 | Tags: Acoustic, Electronica, folk, James Yuill, The UK, Turning Down Water For Air | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
One comment | Digits, the electronic indie pop project of Alt Altman, released his first full album, Hold It Close, on September 22. Altman, out of Toronto, typically sings with deep, monotone vocals over his layered electronic beats, but the song “Nonstop” features slightly more ranging vocals – something we take to kindly here at Knox Road. “Nonstop” [...] October 10th, 2009 | Tags: Alt Altman, Digits, Electronica, Nonstop, Pop, Toronto | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
Leave a comment | What’s that? Free music?? Correct, you are! Brian Sendrowitz has decided to release his latest Beat Radio album as a completely free digital release to keep up with the times. Safe Inside The Sound has been a work in progress for the last several months, and Brian had been kind enough to send us many [...] September 29th, 2009 | Tags: Beat Radio, Brian Sendrowitz, Electronica, New Album, Safe Inside The Sound | Category: Download, MP3, New Album |
3 comments | Please excuse me if you have trouble reading any of the following – I’m trying to write this post while jumping (for joy). I previously mentioned a Letting Up Despite Great Faults EP all the way back in December, but it’s about time we get a full length album out of these fine West Coast [...] September 1st, 2009 | Tags: Electronica, Letting Up Despite Great Faults, New Album, Pop, S/T | Category: Download, MP3, New Album |
One comment | Stockholm, Sweden’s Top Sound have just released new single “A Matter of Precision” as a free download on Friendly Noise, along with a gorgeous French-sung B-Side, “Francophilie”. Both tracks are sugary indie pop in its truest form – “A Matter of Precision” has a catchy, piano-filled, electronic percussion/synth beat (with vocals that are, at times, [...] August 5th, 2009 | Tags: A Matter of Precision, Electronica, Francophilie, Free Download, MP3, Pop, Top Sound | Category: Download, MP3 |

Because all the best electronica comes from Norway (??) it should be no surprise that Röyksopp’s latest album, Junior, is a tour de electronica, whatever that means, if it even makes sense. From the band’s Myspace: After spending the last year or so in the kitchen, we’re now ready to serve. The menu should provide [...] March 27th, 2009 | Tags: Electronica, junior, MP3, Music, Review, Royksopp | Category: MP3, New Album, Review |

I stumbled across Tenaka (aka, Ronan Carroll) a little while back upon hearing of a free 4 song EP, Eponymously Titled, released in January, on his MySpace. Not knowing much about the music, except that it had been labeled electronica, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, as soon as I saw “Ireland” [...] March 24th, 2009 | Tags: Electronica, Eponymously Titled, MP3, Music, Tenaka | Category: Artist Profile, MP3, Review |

A band I only recently began listening to (and has left me wishing I started earlier,) Norwegian quartet, Syme, mixes layered harmonies with infectious melodies to create some truly indelible music. Fredrik Vogsborg and Ketil Endresen’s falsetto vocals make these electronic pop ditties hard not to enjoy, as the music sounds cute and [...] January 19th, 2009 | Tags: Electronica, MP3, Music, No Spark No Heart, Norway, Swing Swing, Syme | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
Leave a comment | Boy In Static, the San Francisco duo of Alexander Chen and Kenji Ross, is set to release a new album, Candy Cigarette, in March. Before I get to some info about the album, let’s talk history. Chen’s small demo album was originally discovered in 2003 by The Notwist (one of my favorite bands), which [...] January 10th, 2009 | Tags: Boy In Static, Candy Cigarette, Electronica, MP3, Music, New Album, The Notwist | Category: Artist Profile, MP3, New Album |
