Rock
Till the End
Leon, the new Hard-Melodic promise released his first solo album Till The End.
About him and his music: Leon is arrived as an upcoming singer from the european metal scene, with a lot of rock and melodic influences..His first solo project TILL THE END is a short first chapter of this new story. It's in fact the core of the intense and melodic side that Leon shows you.
The Uglysuit
The debut, self-titled album from Oklahoma City-based band The Uglysuit is refreshingly bright, with huge, spirit-raising, piano and guitar anthems. The group mixes artful dream pop with a few alt-country flavors (lead singer Israel Hindman's voice mimicks Jeff Tweedy one minute, Conor Oberst the next), and has been compared to the Flaming Lips and the Shins.
Vampire Weekend
if you haven't heard Vampire Weekend yet, do yourself a favor and follow this link - two previously unreleased tracks here - thank you daytrotter
Wintersleep
ingenious and infectious - upbeat rock that'll surprise and delight listen after listen - great friggin' music - great friggin' lyrics - don't pass this over
Deerhoof
I was beginning to doubt it, but creativity is surely alive and well! Highly experimental, but deliciously accessible, Deerhoof is hitting their stride with the new release Offend Maggie. If you know them, you'll notice a richer more folksy vein and Satomi Matsuzaki's vocals, as playful as ever, seem that much refined. Here's an assortment of downloads & streams both new and old.
Women
Sometimes light and spacious, at other times eerie and dense with an ominous weight, this self titled album touches upon Velvet Underground, The Zombies or This Heat while not really having any obvious precursors – a lo-fi masterpiece cloaked in layers of vibrato and guitar wash.
The National
nice, very easy to listen to, subdued crooner, elegant rock and roll - creative and visceral lyrics
Telekinesis!
mega catchy crisp cold filtered pop without a trace of impurities - feel good hits for the summer - unbelievably unsigned - get'em before he's all sold out ;-P - stand out tracks: Coast of Carolina & Awkward Kisser
Sister Suvi
3 peoples: one ukelele, one guitar, and more than one drum come together from other places and make some bang up indie pop with extremely cool experimental vocal harmonies and driving rhythms. If you haven't heard these cats yet you will... or if you won't you should... or just listen already! Aren't you tired of reading my ramblings?
Duchess Says
grrrl with a farkin piercing voice makes up for a poppier sound than I prefer in my punk rock, so it's not complete crap - takes punk in new directions which I like very much - who said "punks dead?" - stream the entire Anthologie Des 3 Perchoirs Album here
