Fotoshop

It’s Thanksgiving time! The past three (three!) years I’ve posted a remix to Adele’s Hometown Glory, but things change, ya know? Gotta keep you on your toes! So get funky with the fam with Fotoshop (Jarno Faarinen), a Finnish artist who gives us plenty of American lovin’. Your ears will be dripping with electro shoegaze… Continue reading Fotoshop

Oriel Joans

I used to talk about Swedish bands nonstop around here, discussing their “born-with-it”, innate quality of producing catchy, melodic indie pop. Lately, though, I feel like I’ve dropped the ball. No mention of the Swedes, no songs posted from Swedish bands on the rise. Let’s change that, shall we? (It’s always funny to me when… Continue reading Oriel Joans

[MP3] Mesita: “On Through The Dark”

Mesita (James Wooley) has been cranking out the tunes ever since we originally featured him on Knox Road back in April of 2010. While we’d love to post everything, we’ve been selfishly listening to them by our lonesome (well, other respected blogs have had some of them up, too.) But something particularly struck me about… Continue reading [MP3] Mesita: “On Through The Dark”

[MP3] Spacecamp: “Miko D.T.B.”

People are loving the no spaces before “camp” these days (no pun intended, promise). Spacecamp, way to play off the popularity of Bandcamp. You know I’m kidding, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I was actually inclined to check out Spacecamp’s music because of their name. If the name doesn’t… Continue reading [MP3] Spacecamp: “Miko D.T.B.”

Brick+Mortar

Finally some upbeat indie rock I can get behind. The music scene has been diluted lately with an overabundance of experimental electronic sounds, and one of the reasons is because of the lack of quality indie rock with those familiar jangly guitars and frenetic vocals (stay tuned for a forthcoming Hype Hype Hooray, written by… Continue reading Brick+Mortar

Sobrenadar

Is it being made too easy for us bloggers to write artist profiles? We were sent an introductory video to Argentinian artist Sobrenadar (Paula Garcia), rendering most of my words useless. Typically I’d think this type of promotion is overly self-serving and turns people off, but I’m charmed by this video, which features an acoustic… Continue reading Sobrenadar

The Skull Defekts’ 2013-3012 is complex and gripping

When former Lungfish front man Daniel Higgs joined Swedish noise-rock juggernaut The Skull Defekts on their Peer Amid album earlier this year, it seemed like a natural fit that played to the strengths of both parties. Now, taking things one step further, The Skull Defekts teamed up with Zomes, the solo moniker of former Lungfish… Continue reading The Skull Defekts’ 2013-3012 is complex and gripping

PONCHOS

I’m digging the Boston-based PONCHOS and his new EP, Rawness. I don’t usually post intense electronic stuff like this (realize when I write intense, it’s all relative. For many of you, it’s probably pretty gentle). You may say it’s a little bit too “dark dance” (at times) for my soft and tender tastes. I say nay. PONCHOS… Continue reading PONCHOS

Powers

You’re right. I am power hungry these days. So sue me. After getting in a good listen to Power Player, I heard word of a new power band, this time titled, well, simply “Powers.” A four-piece from Toronto, Powers plays mind-numbing electro pop awash in synthesizer and 80s style vocals. They’re set to release their… Continue reading Powers
