Indoor Voices – S/T

Beginning as the bedroom pop brainchild of Toronto musician Jonathan Relph, Indoor Voices has managed to develop a sound that remains intimate yet grandly atmospheric as well. The five piece band has created a contemplative vibe by their use of airy layers and subtle textures. It’s a perfect soundtrack to life’s moments when one needs to just sit back and let the scenery do the talking. Read More

Center of the Sun – Machine Gun

North Carolina doesn’t seem like the celestial type of place but it does contain at least one luminary band. Center of the Sun is a dreamy pop-rock band that carries a bit of grit & gloom for that added dose of heaviness. Ally Hoffman’s vocals are a wonderful addition to the fuzzy guitars and solid drum work. Upon first listen, Machine Gun sounds reminiscent of early 90s alternative but with modern flair. Vaguely like The Cranberries but with a style all their own. Read More

Young Wonder – S/T

Join us as we take a trip to Cork, Ireland and indulge in some truly great tunes. It’s electronic pop meets glitch with a dash of chillwave thrown in for good measure. Young Wonder’s self titled album is a collection of five songs and three remixes. Although not quite as dark as Crystal Castles or Purity Ring, fans of the aforementioned artists will likely enjoy Young Wonder. Our recommended track is Tumbling Backwards but the entire album is pretty strong throughout.

Death Ledger – S/T EP

Need some dark and grungy chillwave to kick off your night? Look no further than Toronto based Death Ledger. A founding member of Birthday Girls, Kevin Donnelly’s side project is a bit of a departure from the more punk electro Birthday Girls. Death Ledger draws darker influences from artists like Crystal Castles and Salem. The self-titled EP shows some range, even venturing into a dark remix of a Pussycat Dolls song.  Read More

Tannhäuser – Voces

Tannhäuser is just one of those bands that grab you upon first listen. Rhythm meets ambient; their music is an ethereal landscape that is perfect for studying or just chilling out on a lazy afternoon. The Seville, Spain four-piece let their music do the talking, making this instrumental album very similar to other artists we love like This Will Destroy You and Explosions In The Sky. Read More

Ravens & Chimes – Holiday Life

At first listen, you could put Ravens & Chimes into the same neighborhood with bands like Arcade Fire and Beach House. But listen further and you’ll see why R&C deserves their time in the spotlight. Holiday Life is a trip through Brooklyn streets and hip places you have yet to discover. Read More

Chemistry Club – Bend To Colors

Chemistry Club can best be described as a covalent bond of indie and pop rock. In a peanut butter meets chocolate moment, they have created something so undeniably catchy that it is almost impossible not to play at full volume. Chemistry Club’s Bend To Colors is one of those tracks you immediately have to listen to again and again. This Denver, CO four-piece has got us hooked and we eagerly await more music from them.  Read More
