Genre-bending indie rock pop electronic (maybe?) from Asian She, a Los Angeles duo with no Asian anything. Danceable, dark and sophisticated all at once, Asian She’s s/t EP was released back in September. Noah Lebenzon and Thomas Froggatt have a little something up their sleeves with their unique sound, and I wouldn’t be surprised to [...] [...] December 6th, 2012 | Tags: Asian She, experimental, Indie Pop, Los Angeles | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, Stream |
 Leave a comment | I am in my hometown of Boston in advance of Thanksgiving, and this “turns-dark-at-4:45 pm” thing is a major buzz kill. But I think I found an appropriate song to play over those few minutes that the sunlight fades to black. Qurious is Mike Netland and Catherine Quesenberry out of Atlanta. They released their newest [...] [...] November 20th, 2012 | Tags: Atlanta, Electronic, experimental, Qurious, Void Vanishing | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
2 comments | I like writing. Rarely do I think posts are better presented with what I’m given from the artist. Except with Skittish. I’ll make it quick: Band, Skittish, about to be signed by Yep Roc. Love triangle, suicide attempt, label scared off, members disperse leaving me alone to make “The Five Stages EP.” The new Skittish [...] [...] October 25th, 2012 | Tags: experimental, folk, Indie Pop, Minneapolis, Skittish, The Five Stages EP | Category: Artist Profiles, New Albums, Stream |
Leave a comment | Largely the vision of former Antlers bassist Justin Stivers, Passenger Peru rides Stivers bass into more experimental areas than Antlers usual fare. Stivers teamed up with Justin Gonzalez to bring Passenger Peru’s self-titled album into existence. From the start of the album, you get the impression that Stivers attempted to bring the experimental side of [...] [...] October 8th, 2012 | Tags: Antlers, experimental, Indie Pop, Justin Stivers, Passenger Peru | Category: Album Reviews, Artist Profiles, MP3 |
Leave a comment | Knox Road label partner Walk-In Records is excited to announce the signing of experimental Nashville folk musician, Jordon Salveson. Salveson represents a bit of a change-up for Walk-In, as we’ve seen lo-fi and progressive, but not much of the “soothing” variety. He is widely unknown, and we hope to change that with the Walk-In signing. [...] [...] September 25th, 2012 | Tags: experimental, folk, Jordon Salveson, Nashville, Walk-In Records | Category: Artist Profiles, Stream, Walk-In Records |
Leave a comment | Empty out a swimming pool. Spray paint it in neon colors. Learn to ride a skateboard better than Tony Hawk. Ride your skateboard around the empty, painted pool. If you did this, the song you would need to listen to while doing so would be “Hold On To The Metal” by Royal Canoe. These Canadian [...] [...] July 10th, 2012 | Tags: Canadian, experimental, Extended Play, Indie Pop, Psychedelic, Royal Canoe | Category: Album Reviews, Artist Profiles, MP3 |
Leave a comment | I’m not lying, I promise the songs below are from the same band! It’s why I’ve fallen in love with Le Trouble’s debut full length, Reality Strikes. I imagine in the future they’ll refine their sound a bit, but hell who can’t appreciate a bit of youthful experimentation? “Fine Line” is one of the most splendid [...] [...] July 9th, 2012 | Tags: experimental, Indie Pop, Le Trouble, Montreal, Reality Strikes | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | You sat out on the dock to Lucas Pond and hugged your knees tightly to your chest, toes clenched. You visualized your life in vague memories that you clung to, scared. Why do I hate the feeling but love the thinking? You let go of your knees, took one of your earphones out, and allowed [...] [...] July 3rd, 2012 | Tags: experimental, Indie Pop, Levellor, NYC, Singer/Songwriter, Sri | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | My fellow Newtonite (Newton, MA), Gabe Goodman, has resurfaced after last summer’s Friendly Fires EP with the Midnight Sour EP. He turned an elderly 19 since I last wrote about him, so clearly there have been musical changes that come with the old age. He’s still an experimental electronic force, but this time with an [...] [...] May 22nd, 2012 | Tags: Electronic, experimental, Gabe Goodman, Indie Pop, Massachusetts, Midnight Sour EP, Newton, R&B | Category: MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | Holy crap have I fallen in love with a band/record out of nowhere. Baobab, essentially Phil Torres (with some help from Whitney Trettien), based out of Durham, North Carolina, just released their debut s/t album, and it couldn’t sound less like a debut. Complex, mature, and impeccably arranged, the album is nothing short of hypnotizing. [...] [...] February 9th, 2012 | Tags: Acoustic, Baobab, Durham, experimental, Folk Pop, Phil Torres, Whitney Trettien | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
