CANASTA

ARTIST / BAND: CANASTA
SONG (MP3): SHADOWCAT
ALBUM: We Were Set Up
FILE UNDER: Indie / Pop / Rock
LABEL: None
INFO: Living amongst the immense musical talent in a city like Chicago is eternally inspiring. But standing apart from the crowd can be a never-ending challenge. So Canasta came together in early 2002 when six friends joined forces and augmented the standard rock set-up with piano, violin, keyboard and trombone, in an effort to craft a more ambitious strain of majestic, ultra-melodic, orchestral pop. Canasta songs are nothing if not eclectic; you'll hear everything from bouncy, horn-driven ditties to epic, sweeping anthems and slow, country-tinged narratives to instrumental post-rock. But whats constant is an emphasis on sophisticated songwriting, dramatic dynamics and meticulous orchestration that has won them comparisons to Belle & Sebastian, The Decemberists, The Arcade Fire, The Delgados, The Sea and Cake, Wilco and Yo La Tengo.

A SHORELINE DREAM

ARTIST / BAND: A SHORELINE DREAM
SONG (MP3): LOVE IS A GHOST IN AMERICA
ALBUM: Avoiding the consequences
FILE UNDER: Alternative / Shoegaze / Rock
LABEL: latenight weeknight records
INFO: A Shoreline Dream started as a visual concept that could be translated into an audible source. An idea of something so emmensly endless and expansive, that it had no true definition. Something which could only be best described as layers of hopes and dreams. Dreams of a perfect future. One which could not be destroyed by the greed and corruption of a society fighting for fame and fortune in every which way it can.

WHITE WHALE

ARTIST / BAND: WHITE WHALE
SONG (MP3): THE ADMIRAL
ALBUM: WWI
FILE UNDER: Indie / Experimental / Rock
LABEL: Merge Records
INFO: Call me Ishmael. Or don’t. That’s entirely up to you. Many years ago - or sooner, I am imprecise about these things - a landlocked group of men from the vicinity of a town in Kansas called Lawrence embarked upon a journey of the soul. Or a journey full of soul. Again, you decide. Armed with the weapons of the musician’s trade, these five travelers were bestowed with the biblical and mythical name of White Whale. Prior bands of minstrels attempted the majestic grandeur inherent in White Whale. The intrepid Butterglory; the fearless Get Up Kids; Thee (fearsome) Higher Burning Fire; and the brave, chivalrous Matt Suggs all drove their vessels to sea. All were driven back to the land of corn. Yet their combined talents have taken them to corners of the globe only dreamed of by other bands.

ERASE ERRATA

ARTIST / BAND: ERASE ERRATA
SONG (MP3): TAX DOLLAR
ALBUM: Nightlife
FILE UNDER: Indie / Electro / Punk
LABEL: kill rock stars
INFO: The music of the San Francisco (by way of Oakland) indie rock outfit Erase Errata has been compared to such eclectic experimentalists as Captain Beefheart, the Minutemen, and Dog Faced Hermans, due to the fact that the group posses an uncanny knack of improvising on the spot (claiming that they could improvise a whole set if pressed to). Comprised of members Jenny Hoyston (vocals and trumpet), Ellie Erickson (bass), Bianca Sparta (drums), and Sara Jaffe (guitar), Erase Errata originally formed in December of 1999 - when the group jammed in the vacant room of one of Sparta and Hoysten's roommates. The quartet immediately proved that they had a solid chemistry, as they penned ten original tunes in the span of a half hour. Erase Errata spent six weeks during the fall of 2000 touring alongside the likes of Melt Banana and Le Tigre, issuing a split single soonafter with Brooklyn, NY-based noise rockers Black Dice, on the Troubleman label. A year later, Erase Errata's full-length debut was issued, Other Animals (also via Troubleman). In 2002 the band released a split single with electro-rockers Numbers, and in spring 2003 Dancing Machine, a remix album featuring Adult., Kid 606 and Matmos arrived. Meanwhile, Hoyston worked on her other project Paradise Island, releasing the debut album Lines Are Infinitely Fine that summer on Dim Mak. Erase Errata's long-awaited second album At Crystal Palace came out in fall 2003. ~ Greg Prato

THE BICYCLES

ARTIST / BAND: THE BICYCLES
SONG (MP3): GOTTA GET OUT
ALBUM: The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly
FILE UNDER: Pop / Indie
LABEL: Fuzzy Logic
INFO: After more than 5 years of playing together, Toronto sweethearts The Bicycles finally decide to slate their finely tuned pop savoir faire into music history. The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly, the Bicycles debut album, is the product of Matt Beckett (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Drew Smith (vocals, guitar, tambourine, yes tambourine!), Randy Lee (bass, vocals), Dana Snell (drums, vocals) and Andrew Scott (trumpet, guitar, keyboard, vocals).

IRENE

ARTIST / BAND: IRENE
SONG (MP3): STARDUST
ALBUM: TBA
FILE UNDER: Indie Pop
LABEL: Labrador
INFO: Irene grew into a full scale band quite spontaneously in 2005. The members are all friends from the local pub in Göteborg, Sweden. Some songs that Tobias Isaksson (aka Bobby) had written just couldn't wait to be performed live. The dudes that did the first show had so much fun that they wanted to stick around. By the autumn of 2005 Irene was an octet with semi-permanent members. Shortly after that the record label Labrador signed the band.Irene likes to record as much as possible live, in one take, up to six people letting it out in one room. Only the final touch (vocals, trumpets and handclaps etc) is added afterwards. The result is a vivid sound marked by the 60’s, Motown soul, girl-groups, American west coast- and contemporary pop. The members of Irene are beach-crooners, punks and next-door nice-guys. All in one.

THE SOUNDS

ARTIST / BAND: THE SOUNDS
SONG (MP3): PAINTED BY NUMBERS
ALBUM: Dying to say this to you
FILE UNDER: Indie / Alternative / New Wave
LABEL: Warner Sweden
INFO: Attitude plays a big role in the Sounds. Virtually everything written about the band over the last three years mentions how this band from the small southern Swedish city of Helsingborg stalks the stage like they think they're the greatest band in the world. "I can't really help myself onstage," singer Maja (pronounced "Mya") Ivarsson says. "We're not really putting on a show--this is the way we are always."

SUPERSYSTEM

ARTIST / BAND: SUPERSYSTEM
SONG (MP3): BORN INTO THE WORLD
ALBUM: Always Never Again
FILE UNDER: Rock / Electro / Pop
LABEL: Toch and Go
INFO: Refusing to be satisfied by the familiar, Supersystem has always been ready to destroy a song in order to put it back together again. Hip-hop, electronica, punk rock, so-called world music a little bit of everything has gone into the architecture. This destruct/construct reflex is groomed and refined on the NY/DC quartets latest long player, A Million Microphones. The records ten startlingly original tracks are saturated with African-tinged guitar, complex polyrhythms, atmospheric synthesizers, jaunty, funk-fried bass, and infectious beats.

SONG (MP3): 1969
ALBUM: Science
FILE UNDER: Indie Pop / Rock
LABEL: HYBRIS

JR EWING

ARTIST / BAND: JR EWING
SONG (MP3): PITCH BLACK BLONDE
ALBUM: Maelstrom
FILE UNDER: Rock / Post Hardcore / Punk
LABEL: dim mak
INFO: Formed in Oslo, Norway, in 1998, Jr Ewing unleashes a full attack of angular guitars and relentless riffs reminiscent of Drive Like Jehu, the Hot Snakes, At the Drive-In, and Refused. A few months after forming, Jr Ewing went into X-Ray Studios and recorded six songs that resulted in the band's self-released Integritas.Consonantia.Claritas 7", which was later re- released by Lilac Sky.

SNOWDEN

ARTIST / BAND: SNOWDEN
SONG (MP3): ANTI-ANTI
ALBUM: Anti-Anti
FILE UNDER: Indie / Alternative / Rock
LABEL: Jade Tree
INFO: Atlanta's SNOWDEN drowns their brand of melodies in a sea of reverb heavy distortion and hypnotic layers. Anti-Anti (JT1115), the band's debut album for Jade Tree, integrates the ethereal guitar resonance and dynamic percussion reminiscent of bands like RIDE and early CURE, with the volatility of contemporaries such as THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS. Combining a mix of tracks recorded by Erik Wofford (Octopus Project, The Black Angels) at Cacophony Recorders in Austin with tracks recorded and mixed by principal songwriter Jordan Jeffares, Anti-Anti finds Jeffares and company elevating their trademark sound into an unpredictable mix of dirty pop soundscapes. If post-shoegaze exists as a genre, then SNOWDEN is proving their contention for the upper ranks.Anti-Anti will be released on August 22, 2006, with SNOWDEN touring throughout the summer in support of the upcoming release.
