[MP3] Trophy Wife: “Microlite”

I’ve been waiting for an electronic song of this ilk for a while now. It’s been quite some time since I posted some sugary electronica, but that’s not because I’ve stopped listening to it. It’s mostly due to the fact that there’s been a disappointing dearth of it in 2010. (If I’m wrong, PLEASE tell… Continue reading [MP3] Trophy Wife: “Microlite”

[MP3] Kori Pop: “Nowhere Near My Heart”

Canadian songstress Kori Pop (are you already skeptical? Don’t be! It’s her actual name…unless that makes you more skeptical), recently released her debut album, From The Outskirts, and is kindly providing her first single, “Nowhere Near My Heart”, for free download. She takes the standard singer/songwriter fare (piano, hand claps, you know the drill) and… Continue reading [MP3] Kori Pop: “Nowhere Near My Heart”

Serena Andrews

Serena Andrews is a tough one to crack. One minute she’s singing a Broadway-ish, super radio-friendly single, the next she’s getting all bizarro and experimental. She could probably go for something in between the two and gain a bit of consistency. Not that I don’t enjoy the eclecticism, I just think it can be further… Continue reading Serena Andrews

The Aeronautical Legends prep unique record project, offer rough new mp3

The Aeronautical Legends, a pop folk band out of Akron, Ohio, are making their fourth record with a doozy of an idea. They have a Kickstarter project that challenges critics and bloggers to get in on the creation of a record. Essentially, the critics would have some say in the creative process, providing a comprehensive experience… Continue reading The Aeronautical Legends prep unique record project, offer rough new mp3

[MP3] Esperi: “Dialled”

An artist who plays bells with his feet. This is the type of music we’re after at Knox Road. But seriously, Esperi, aka Chris Lee-Marr, from Scotland, makes gorgeously intimate music. When I listen to “Dialled”, his newest song, I visualize a screen awash with sound waves. Touch the screen and an array of soothing… Continue reading [MP3] Esperi: “Dialled”

[MP3] Scattered Trees: “Four Days Straight”

Two Roll Call Records artists in a row (plus a mention on our Tumblr)! Must be some sort of…record. “Four Days Straight” was recently released as a single, with a b-side cover of John Lennon’s “Instant Karma”. Word on the street is that The Album Leaf is finishing up a little remix of it, which… Continue reading [MP3] Scattered Trees: “Four Days Straight”

[MP3] Rubblebucket: “Triangular Daisies”

Everyone loves candy, Rubblebucket makes candy pop, and if a=b and b=c then everyone should love Rubblebucket. Rubblebucket, based out of Brooklyn (but formerly of Vermont), recently released “Triangular Daisies”, the title track off their new EP out October 19 on Roll Call Records, for free download. A smooth, jazz/pop fusion of a song, “Triangular… Continue reading [MP3] Rubblebucket: “Triangular Daisies”

Sacred Animals releases debut EP, Welcome Home

After Abby’s little love note to Radical Face (aka Ben Cooper) and his latest (brilliant) EP, Touch The Sky, I found it appropriate to post about Sacred Animals’ debut EP, Welcome Home, which was released October 1. Cooper had a special version of his own “Welcome Home” track on Touch The Sky, so I’m hitting… Continue reading Sacred Animals releases debut EP, Welcome Home

Ladycop

Ladycop is a Brooklyn band who’s been around for a few years, but with the release of their latest album, Waves, they’re ready to strike it big. Waves, released in September, is full of swooning indie rock with pulsating guitar and generous synth. Tracks alternate from hushed acoustic beauties to spacey, echo-filled segments to slow-building cathartic anthems.… Continue reading Ladycop
