[Introducing] – Lemolo
Lemolo’s music is anything but wild and untamed, a gentle brand of synth-pop that shimmers with sincerity.

[Introducing] – Conveyor
TweetShare Conveyor are a former keyboard-duo turned four-piece, founded in Gainsville Florida but now working in Brooklyn. Their debut EP, called Sun Ray, brings a brand of synth-meets-guitar indie-pop that’s hardly unfamiliar, but is delivered with a calm maturity that’s worth checking out. The highlight of the EP is the opening track, “Foreword”. It opens [...]
[Introducing] – Little Jungles
TweetShare Brazilian Money, a band that we’ve featured before who have a new and mightily focussed 6-track EP out, turned me on to Little Jungles, and I’m sure glad they did: “Winter Was Warmer”, an impossibly delicious slice of shoegaze that’s drenched in early nineties influences, has instantly become one of my favourite tracks of [...]

[Introducing] – See Land
TweetShare See Land is the side project of Doug Kaplan, electric guitarist for college/post/math/prog/heck, pretty much anything-rock outfit The Earth Is A Man. Where The Earth Is A Man demand repeat listens to fathom out the intertwining layers of their fascinating grooves, See Land’s self-titled debut needs to be heard over and over for just [...]
[Album Review/Listen] – The Mhurs – “In Another Tongue”
TweetShare The Mhurs gave us a generous preview of their album “In Another Tongue” a couple of months ago. The four tracks they shared, two of them tender emotional outpourings and two of them loud, adventurous rockers, had us pretty excited for the full length, but they did beg the question: can these two styles [...]
[Introducing] – Pet Lions
TweetShare I just graduated from college in the Chicago area, and now that I get out into the city a lot more often, I get the chance to pick up on bands making the rounds at local venues. Pet Lions are one such buzzed about local group that has opened for Maps & Atlases and [...]
[Introducing] – Dylan Champagne
TweetShare Eugh. Just look at those publicity shots. Dylan Champagne has been crafted to look like the most smug man on the planet. His fighting stance on the left is just inviting you to hit him. With photos like those, an album called “Love Songs of the Apocalypse Volume 1″ and a bandcamp blurb that [...]
[Introducing] – The Ruffled Feathers
TweetShare Horns: gotta love ‘em. The Ruffled Feathers are a Vancouver based folk/chamber-pop group who get good use out of them, never better than on “Blueprints For Our Failed Revolution”. It may open with a gentle piano part and accompanying vocal that sounds like it could use a little bolstering, but soon enough some horns [...]
[Introducing] – RTB2
TweetShare I’m just gonna come out and say this: RTB2 could kick The White Stripes’ ass. If The White Stripes were still together. But since they are not, this little gem of a duo from Denton, Texas are at the top of the game. They are the new dons of the bluesy post-punk mafia. It’s a [...]
[Introducing] – Christian AIDS
TweetShare The problem with chillwave, as with pretty much any genre of electronic-based music, is the sheer amount of it being made by people with Macintosh computers everywhere. If you work for a large music blog or magazine, and you accept music submissions, I do not envy the amount of programmed mediocrity you have to [...]
[Introducing] – Mind The Gap
TweetShare Photo by James Reese When I first googled “Mind the Gap band,” I got a million hits for other bands, so OK, the name is little overdone. However, this group of four stands out with their music and their aesthetic (think mini-United Nations with instruments). Made up of Greg Cahn (the Jew), Ozzy Doniz (the [...]
[Introducing] – Deadwood Floats
TweetShare Indie-folk is all the rage right now, all the more so if there’s vocal harmony involved. Despite this, Deadwood Floats, an indie-folk four piece with a strong focus on – you guessed it – harmonies, managed to grab my attention almost immediately. How? They covered Radiohead, and they did it well. Never mind that [...]
[Listen/Download] – Exotica – “Conte D’Ete” (Afrofunk Version)
TweetShare The poppy Riviera sound of “Conte D’Ete” is what caught my attention as the closing track of Kitsuné Maison Compilation 11: The Indie-Dance Issue. Clara Cometti sings wistfully over a funk cluster of snares, bass and guitar as Julien Garner (of Chateau Marmont) leads us into the solar-flare evoking synth bridge with his French [...]
