FILE UNDER: Folk / Lounge / Psychedelic
LABEL: Fire Records

Baby Baby
ARTIST / BAND: Baby Baby
SONG (MP3): "Kidz" / "Breakin"
ALBUM: Money
FILE UNDER: fun rock
LABEL:The Gospel of Rhythm
INFO:"At first glance, the motley crew of Fontez Brooks (Vocals, Guitar), Kyle Dobbs (Bass), and Grant Wallace (Drums), along with newcomer Colin Boddy (Percussion) do not seem like serious musicians. It might be the fact that they are constantly shirtless, wearing only fluorescent colored short-shorts. Maybe it's the tribal face paint that they sport at shows. Or it could be that they named their last album something as nonsensical as Wabadabadaba. Whatever the case may be, one thing is for certain, Baby Baby is very serious - about having fun. read more from the source...

Las Kellies
ARTIST / BAND: Las Kellies
SONG (MP3): "Perro Rompebolas"
ALBUM: Kellies
FILE UNDER: punk, indie
LABEL: Fire Records
INFO:There’s only thing you can bank on when you’re confronted with Las Kellies: to expect the unexpected. From the raw rock & roll of their 2007 debut Shaking Dog – described by the great Everett True as “entirely ace” – to the Devo and ESG influenced sound of 2009’s follow-up Kalimera, this Argentinian three-piece have carved out a reputation for ripping up the form-book, delving into their box of magic tricks and serving up something entirely different. And so it is again on their third album Kellies: whether it’s embracing what they term as their “new sound” of groove-laden and irresistibly catchy post-punk or recruiting reggae legend Dennis Bovell to help in the studio, it’s the sound of a band who always keep things fresh. Kellies will be released in the United States on July 5th. read more from the source...

Fan Modine
ARTIST / BAND: Fan Modine
MP3: "Through The Valley" / "Julu Road"
ALBUM: Gratitude for the Shipper
FILE UNDER: indie pop
LABEL: Daniel 13 Press
INFO: Since the release of Slow Road to Tiny Empire, Fan Modine’s first album, in 1998, Gordon Zacharias has been known as an artist who mixes buoyant orchestral pop music with oftentimes more gloomy lyrics. This disconcerting combination has won him a cult following among fans of obscure rock bands, and of indie-pop artists in particular. With Gratitude for the Shipper, Fan Modine’s first album in six years, his music adds dimensions both lyrically and sonically, drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as French symbolist poet Stephane Mallarmé and Southern pop trailblazer Alex Chilton. “Waiting for Distant Light,” the album’s finale, is a tribute to the recently-deceased songwriter, singer and guitarist.

Ganglians - Jungle by souterraintransmissions
ALBUM: Still Living
FILE UNDER: Post punk
LABEL: Lefse
INFO: Onetime mysterious, psychedelic Sacramento outsiders Ganglians stepped out of the shadows with a couple Woodsist albums in 2009. Then, last May, we heard an early version of “My House,” a song from their then in-progress Robby Moncrieff-produced double LP Still Living. The completed album’s due in August. Here’s another taste via “Jungle.”

Seapony
ARTIST / BAND: Seapony
ALBUM: Go With Me
FILE UNDER: dream pop, indie
LABEL: Hardly Art
INFO:
The music of Seapony is refreshing in its simplicity. Most songs on Go With Meuse no more than three chords, with an average running time around two-and-a-half minutes. In lieu of a human drummer, the Seattle trio entrusts time-keeping to a vintage gizmo the size of a desktop calculator. The lyrics to "Dreaming," the track that catapulted them into the spotlight, are just six lines long. Like Young Marble Giants and Beat Happening before them, this young three-piece has generated excitement that belies their music's modest means. And their back story is just as no-nonsense

Art Brut
Art Brut - Lost Weekend by One Thirty BPM
Info:
Brilliant! Tragic! is the fourth studio album by Art Brut, to be released on May 23, 2011. The first single from the album will be "Lost Weekend". The album was recorded in Salem, Oregon and is the second to be produced by Frank Black, best known as the frontman of Pixies.
The tracklisting and release details were confirmed in early March 2011.[1]
Art Brut frontman Eddie Argos has already described "Brilliant! Tragic!" as his "favourite" Art Brut album, saying that it was definitely their "greatest" album so far. [2] "Bang Bang Rock & Roll did what it said on the tin", Argos explained, "It's A Bit Complicated was a bit complicated. On Art Brut vs. Satan we had to fight Satan. This one follows the same pattern, it is a 'brilliant, tragic', record. If it was a TV show you'd define it as a dramedy." [3]
