Song (MP3): Silence
Album: Wall of soul
File Under: Nu Jazz
Label: Kitty-yo
Info: Yes, they're from the north, from some beautiful and contrasting place where you find the common legend that people don't talk much, but mostly keep to themselves. Like learning a new language. This one sounds finish. Juha Tuukkanen and Terhi Koivisto both met in Helsinki and gathered their experience, influences and musical ideas. The boy who discovered making electronic at the age of 12, always collaborating and networking with the northern electronic scene and releasing various records throughout Europe. The girl from small Kokkola town who was awaken to the existence of music while listening to her mum play and sing tender songs to her in the long winter nights.

LES TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE

Artist / Band: LES TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE
Song (MP3): A HELENE
Album: ÁLBUM DESCONOCIDO
File Under: Easy Listening / Indie Pop/ French Pop
Label: elefant
Info: Everything starts at the end of 1997, when Philippe and Suzette met after a show of the band she used to play with at the time (ME DUELE EL CORASSÓN). They discovered they shared a special fondness for French pop in its most elegant and seductive form, from Michel Polnareff to Katerine, not to mention the unavoidable Serge Gainsbourg and his entourage of fragile, perverse female voices (France Gall, Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot). They were destined to form a band together. A band that would obviously perform and compose all their songs in French.

NINE HORSES

Artist / Band: NINE HORSES
Song (MP3): DARKEST BIRDS
Album: SNOW BORNE SORROW
File Under: Indie Rock
Label: Samadhisound
Info: David Sylvian's new band? Well, hardly: He himself describes Nine Horses as a 'disembodied band'. Initially consisting of Sylvian and brother, Steve Jansen, this project was sidelined by his cathartic Blemish album and was only reactivated by the contribution of electronica guru Burnt Friedman.

CIRCA SURVIVE

Artist / Band: CIRCA SURVIVE
Song (MP3): THE GREAT GOLDEN BABY
Album: JUTURNA
File Under: Indie Rock
Label: equal vision
Info: There are things we see in movies that serve for most people more as idealized romantic notions than actual reality: the pivotal scenes where people turn their backs on a “rational” life choice to follow their hearts instead — and the consequences be damned. But on occasion, these things do happen in real life, and Circa Survive is the product of just such an extraordinary decision. read more from the source...

LAURA CANTRELL

Artist / Band: LAURA CANTRELL
Song (MP3): 14TH STREET
Album: HUMMING BY THE FLOWERED VINE
File Under: Singer Songwriter / Pop
Label: Matador Records
Info: 'Humming by the Flowered Vine' is the much-anticipated third album (and Matador debut) by Nashville-born, New York-based performer Laura Cantrell.
Produced by JD Foster (Richard Buckner, Marc Ribot), 'Humming by the Flowered Vine' features ten extraordinary songs both crafted and caught. As on her two previous albums, 'When the Roses Bloom Again' and 'Not the Tremblin' Kind,' Laura's own compositions are some of the highlights. "Khaki & Corduroy" is a meditation on being a transplanted Southerner in New York City, "California Rose" was inspired by the West Coast country music pioneer Rose Maddox, and "Old Downtown" draws on the story of World War I hero Sgt. Alvin York. read more from the source...

THE TWIN ATLAS

Artist / Band: THE TWIN ATLAS
Song (MP3): ROLL ON
Album: SUN TOWNSHIP
File Under: Folk /Pop
Label: Tappersize
Info: Music by The Twin Atlas is usually short folk & pop songs, written and home-recorded by Sean Byrne with Lucas Zaleski, who began playing together when they met at the University of Delaware in the early '90s and began releasing music as The Twin Atlas in 2000.
Zaleski is now an NYC resident and Byrne lives in Philadelphia where he has drummed with the bands Lenola, Mazarin, Matt Pond PA, Audible and BC Camplight.

COFFINBERRY

Artist / Band: COFFINBERRY
Song (MP3): OH ELOISE!
Album: THE COFFINBERRY CDEP
File Under:
Label: morphius
Info: Coffinberry’s sound is very exhilarating and refreshing — I hear bits of the Libertines and Sonic Youth and the Replacements all mixed up in there. Who are the band’s influences, and is there a certain sound you’re shooting for when you perform?The band is influenced by many things, but I don’t like Sonic Youth or The Libertines. We all enjoy The Monster Mash any time of year. When we play we’re not shooting for anyone or thing. I've never given a name to our sound 'cos that would be dumb.
read more from the source...

THE LOVE X NOWHERE

Artist / Band: THE LOVE X NOWHERE
Song (MP3): SYMPATHY
Album: ODYSSEY EP
File Under: Alternative
Label: aquarius records
Info: The Love X Nowhere makes San Francentric music that drops like sparks from the Muni lines on a rainy night. On Odyssey, their second EP, TLXN finds themselves amidst an evolution of shoegaze and dream rock. A big lush one-sound coming forth from guitars heavy with the sway of chorus and delays, analog synth sounds as though from previous incarnations, and solid grooves that never lead the listener astray. Two vocalists who wind their way through harmony and melody, reminiscint of a bridge between Pink Floyd and Slowdive.
read more from the source...

THE MENDOZA LINE

Artist / Band: THE MENDOZA LINE
Song (MP3): CATCH A COLLAPSING STAR
Album: FULL OF LIGHT AND FULL OF FIRE
File Under: New Folk
Label: Misra Records
Info: Recalling in equal measure the passion and soul of early Pretenders, the wrecked majesty of Harry Nilsson's Pussycats album and the humor and indignation of the great Mekons, The Mendoza Line's Full of Light and Full of Fire is a startling meditation on the abuse of power and those who are left in its wake: the spiritually and economically disenfranchised, the isolated and ruined, those who are lost or are simply trying to disappear.
read more from the source...

NEVERENDING WHITE LIGHTS

Artist / Band: NEVERENDING WHITE LIGHTS
Song (MP3): THE GRACE
Album: ACT 1: GOODBYE FRIENDS OF THE HEAVENLY BODIES
File Under: Rock
Label: Ocean/MapleNationwide
Info: Neverending White Lights is a groundbreaking new collaborative concept from recording artist/producer Daniel Victor, linking many diverse artists together as never before. This enormous undertaking is evident by the fact that Daniel Victor incorporates bands and artists from many different backgrounds to interpret his song ideas and lead them down a road of enhanced slow-core beauty. Bands like Alexisonfire, 311, Mogwai, Shudder To Think, Finger Eleven, and Our Lady Peace give a hint as to the diversity of NWL. There has never been an album that unites so many artists collectively for such a novel sound and concept.

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN

Artist / Band: ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN
Song (MP3): STORMY WEATHER
Album: Siberia
File Under: Indie Rock
Label: Cooking Vinyl
Info: Siberia is the crystallization of everything that has made the band so wonderful during their illustrious 26 year career. The single-minded powerhouse motif of Parthenon Drive recalls the sonically hypnotic Heaven Up Here album of 1981, Everything Kills You is as achingly anthemic as any of McCulloch's greatest ballads, Make Us Blind marries Spector pop sensibilities to brooding indie magnificence, while the title track is another classic-in-waiting; a semi-funk riff taken to dizzier heights by a top drawer Will Sergeant snake charmer guitar line. read more from the source...

CAMERA OBSCURA

Artist / Band: CAMERA OBSCURA
Song (MP3): I LOVE MY JEAN
Album: Single
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: elefant records
Info: In 2005 the band released 'I Love My Jean' as a tribute to John Peel, and it resulted in their first Independent Chart entry. The band were also given the opportunity to try out the new reduced line-up with three shows. First was the South Pop Festival in Seville. Then the band travelled to Sweden for two shows in Stockholm and Uppsala, making new friends along the way.

SINEAD O’CONNOR

Artist / Band: SINEAD O’CONNOR
Song (MP3): Y MAS GAN
Album: THROW DOWN YOUR ARMS
File Under: Reggae
Label: Edel
Info: Now in 2005, thirteen years after she stepped back from the brink of superstardom, Sinead has finally made the record towards which she has been building her whole career. In April of this year, she traveled alone to Kingston, Jamaica to record her brand new record, Throw Down Your Arms, at the world famous Tuff Gong and Anchor Studios. It’s a collection of roots songs, which have inspired Sinead in her life and work for the past fifteen years. read more from the source...

ORWELL

Artist / Band: ORWELL
Song (MP3): IN YOUR PLAYGROUND
Album: ARCHIPEL
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: apricot records
Info: Orwell combine a flair for the Beatles with nostalgic musical sensibility. We can also note the insertion of sophisticated electronic sounds to keep the music up-to-date. Could you reveal the real base of Orwell music? read more from the source...

THE STANDARD

Artist / Band: THE STANDARD
Song (MP3): RED DROP
Album: ALBATROSS
File Under: New Indie
Label: Yeproc
Info: In the summer and fall of 1999, the small crowds who caught The Standard’s early performances around Portland, Oregon, knew they were hearing something different—music at once both challenging and engaging, built around surprising chord changes and abrupt shifts in tempo, moving seamlessly from lyrical keyboard passages to blistering guitar hooks, with vocals that ranged from elusive and haunting to intimate and heartbreaking. The air in those rooms was charged, electric, and no one was more surprised by the sudden surge of energy than the four members of the band itself, who’d come together accidentally, each with wildly differing musical backgrounds and influences. Drummer Rob Duncan had learned his driving punk rhythms from Portland indie bands in the mid-90s; bassist Rob Oberdorfer had recently been playing in esoteric art-rock experiments; Jay Clarke, on keyboards, had studied classical and jazz and had a fondness for ambient music; and Tim Putnam combined a rootsy, poetic songwriting style with big, catchy guitar riffs. read more from the source...

ELEKTRONAVTEBI - The Film

Titel: Elektronavtebi (Electronauts)
Writer/Director: Sergi Gvarjaladze
Artists: Nikakoi, TBA, Gogi.ge.org etc.
Duration: 52 min
File Under: Electronic Music
Label: komunikatori
Info: With a very old national culture of folk music, Georgia’s modern musicians have now started to create electronic music. Samplers of this kind of music first appeared here in the late 1980s. They began mostly with imitations of New Wave, New Romantics and the typical synthy sound of that time. The 90s then brought computers and the Internet and also the end of the Soviet Union (which Georgia was involved in). Since then, Georgian musicians have been using the opportunity to visit western countries. And so they bring new experiences and sounds home with them, as well as the technical know-how for making this kind of music. read more from the source...

31KNOTS

Artist / Band: 31KNOTS
Song (MP3): CHAIN REACTION
Album: TALK LIKE BLOOD
File Under: Emo / Prog
Label: Polyvinyl Records

Song (MP3):
MELLOW - KITES ARE FUN
KID KOALA & DYNOMITE D.- AN ELEGY
Album: THE NOW SOUND REDESIGNED
File Under: Mixed
Label: light in the attic
Info: It's funny how things can hit you, seemingly out of the blue. Back in the summer of 2001, in a mad effort to locate lost Beach Boys tapes; a group called The Free Design popped up on my computer. The bubble gum grade-school artwork of their Kites Are Fun debut decorated my monitor a couple of clicks later. A quick trip over to eBay procured the first of many OG press editions of The Free Design catalog, and within a week, we were in contact with the owner of their master recordings. The quest to share this music, long relegated to vinyl graveyards across the country, had begun… read more from the source...

HAPPY BULLETS

Artist / Band: HAPPY BULLETS
Song (MP3): THE VICE AND VIRTUE MINISTRY
Album: THE VICE AND VIRTUE MINISTRY
File Under: Post Something
Label: Undeniable Records
Info: In February 2003, Jason Roberts and Tim Ruble met while working at an Art Gallery in Dallas. They started playing/writing music together after realizing they had similar tastes in music.

Song (MP3): SKYWRITERS
Album: PARTY'S OVER
File Under: Alt - Country
Label: Self released
Info: Nicole atkins plays alt-country music with a 60's and 70's pop influence. Sort of like if ya had the Byrds, Patsy Cline and Mazzy Star playin spin the bottle.

THE LONG WINTERS

Artist / Band: THE LONG WINTERS
Song (MP3): ULTIMATUM
Album: ULTIMATUM
File Under: Singer/Songwriter
Label: Barsuk Record
Info: Whether he was waking up in the emergency room with two broken hands, hopping freights to California for a week’s vacation, or studying and teaching Comparative History of Ideas at the University of Washington, songwriter and Alaska native John Roderick was notorious as a vagabond and hell-raiser in Seattle for most of a decade. read more from the source...

JOHN VANDERSLICE

Artist / Band: JOHN VANDERSLICE
Song (MP3): EXODUS DAMAGE
Album: PIXEL REVOLT
File Under: Singer Songwriter
Label: Barsuk Record
Info: pixel revolt, the fifth album by John Vanderslice, is a masterpiece by a seasoned veteran at the top of his form. If his prior records were a gradual progression, his latest constitutes a quantum leap. Vanderslice has arrived upon a unique lyrical style that blends frank, artful autobiography with richly detailed fiction. read more from the source...

AQUEDUCT

Artist / Band: AQUEDUCT
Song (MP3): GROWING UP WITH GNR
Album: I SOLD GOLD
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: Barsuk Record
Info: At a point in time when a person can create, record, manufacture, and distribute their own music, Aqueduct becomes quintessential bedroom rock. Stuck somewhere between lo & hi-fi, a love of beats, melody, and clever songwriting come together with keyboards, drum machines, buzzing guitars, and bass lines that put the bump in your booty. read more from the source...

BILL RICCHINI

RICHARD SWIFT

Artist / Band: RICHARD SWIFT
Song (MP3): AS I GO
Album: The Novelist / Walking Without Effort
File Under: Singer/Songwriter
Label: secretly canadian
Info: We realize that you've never heard of Richard Swift. We here at Secretly Canadian will change that. In fact, Richard Swift will consume your life. "The Collection Vol. 1" is a great place to start. "The Novelist" - Swift's highly acclaimed, succinct, eight song, nineteen minute and thirty-eight second-long, audiophile archivist experiment - immediately ushers the listener deep into the recesses of Swift's creative core for a kaleidoscopic trip aboard an intergalactic vaudevillian steamship with a speakeasy code-word. read more from the source...

PAAL FLAATA

Artist / Band: PAAL FLAATA
Song (MP3): IT WILL ALL COME DOWN
Album: RAIN
File Under: Singer/Songwriter
Label: Glitterhouse
Info: Much has been written about that voice over the years, but Mojo magazine put it right very early on: “Vocalist Paal Flaata has a distinct advantage over his contemporary US heroes in that, with a voice that makes Scott Walker sound like Little Jimmy Osmond, he can sing them all into a cocked Stetson..." read more from the source...

DELANEY

Artist / Band: DELANEY
Song (MP3): LA NUIT ON A TOUJOURS TOUT
Album: DELANEY
File Under: French Indie Pop
Label: lithium records
Info: Delaney is 33 year old Parisienne Christelle Delaney. She sings with a beautifully detached voice, accompanied by her acoustic guitar or a backing rock band. She sings mainly in French but several of her songs are in English. We are releasing her first and only album here in the US, and she is currently recording a new album.

SAFETY SCISSORS

Artist / Band: SAFETY SCISSORS
Song (MP3): SUNLIGHT
Album: Tainted Lunch
File Under: Indie Synth
Label: scape-music
Info: The boundary between 'artist' and 'geek' is fine, yet frequently unacknowledged or concealed by overzealous intellectuals. MPC (i.e., Safety Scissors) does little to hide his social awkwardness in the quirky techno he produces and performs. If anything, he would rather admit to being a geek than to being an 'artist' or a 'musician'. 'Anonymity is much more interesting. It's silly when people say they are an artist or a musician. They're just trying to cover up for something else that they don't have a girlfriend or smell bad or suffer from alcoholism'. read more from the source...

BOYSKOUT

Artist / Band: BOYSKOUT
Song (MP3): GIRL ON GIRL
Album: BOYSKOUT
File Under: New Wave Punk Electronica
Label: Alive
Info: "Boyskout, a blend of thumping rhythms, dungeony arrangements, seductive vocal callings, and full-throttle attitude belted out amidst layers of surprising melodies, BoySkout's songs range from tight dark pop ditties - rock n roll goes dancing - to synth-driven ballads and eerily compelling tales of self-expression." read more from the source...

PATTERN IS MOVEMENT

Artist / Band: PATTERN IS MOVEMENT
Song (MP3): SILVER QUEEN
Album: STOWAWAY
File Under: Indie
Label: NFI
Info: Pattern is Movement’s second album, Stowaway, was recorded June of 2005 in San Francisco at Tiny Telephone and 15th Street studios by Scott Solter who has engineered records for John Vanderslice, Spoon, Mountain Goats, Tarentel, the Court and Spark, and Ester Drang. For Stowaway, Pattern is Movement expanded their instrumentation and their treatment of sound with cello and viola arrangements, percussion ensembles, and tape speed edits. The product resulted in what has been called "a Rogers and Hammerstein performance inside a steel mill.". read more from the source...

SILVERSUN PICKUPS

Artist / Band: SILVERSUN PICKUPS
Song (MP3): KISSING FAMILIES
Album: Pikul EP
File Under: Noise Rock
Label: danger bird records
Info: Los Angeles-based Silversun Pickups are deceptive. You would never get it from looking at them (or even listening to their EP, Pikul), but they play a wonderfully swampy brand of noisy riff-rock -- sort of like if Queens of the Stone Age were fronted by a total wuss (and that's a compliment). read more from the source...

GOLDRUSH

Artist / Band: GOLDRUSH
Song (MP3): WAIT FOR THE WHEELS
Album: OZONA
File Under: Contry Rock
Label: Better Looking Records
Info: GOLDRUSH "Ozona" CD/LP. This is Goldrush; five young men from Oxford, England crafting songs of strength and heartbreak (and other matters). They run their own label (Truck Records); they organise their own festival (The Truck Festival - 3 000 people down on the farm every July); and write songs with inspiration far from the current climate: Legends like Neil Young, Nick Drake and The Band, and more recent American innovators like Grandaddy and Mercury Rev. Their willful independence demonstrates there is still a viable underground scene. This is their story: read more from the source...

THE SPECTACULAR FANTASTIC

Artist / Band: THE SPECTACULAR FANTASTIC
Song (MP3): DARKEST HOUR
Album: THE SPECTACULAR FANTASTIC GOES UNDERGROUND
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: Ionik Records
Info: The new album is out and about! Check out the first review; "Cool underground pop in the same general vein as The Feelies, The Velvet Underground, and 1970s-era Kinks. First impressions might lead one to believe that The Spectacular Fantastic is just another good underground guitar pop band. But after hearing the group's songs over and over...the subtle, distinct nuances of the music become more obvious. This band's tunes won't blow you away immediately. read more from the source...

ACID HOUSE KINGS

Artist / Band: ACID HOUSE KINGS
Song (MP3): DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO
Album: SING ALONG WITH ACID HOUSE
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: Labrador
Info: Sweden’s no 1 guitar pop band. Acid House Kings was started by the teenagers Joakim Ödlund {also in Poprace, Starlet and Doubledan}, brothers Niklas {also in Red Sleeping Beauty} and Johan Angergård {also in Club 8, Poprace and The Legends} back in 1991 inspired by the English anorak scene {most bands on labels like Sarah, Subway and Heaven would be considered as favorites at this time}. The band recorded their first songs and sent them only to one label, the German pop label Marsh-Marigold. A few months later their debut single »Play pop! EP« was released. read more from the source...

BLACK MOUNTAIN

Artist / Band: BLACK MOUNTAIN
Song (MP3): DRUGANOUT
Album: BLACK MOUNTAIN
File Under: Indie Rock
Label: Jagjaguwar
Info: "The swimming hole looks inviting under the blue sky... Come back at dusk, however, and the pond turns black -- as dark as death -- or on the contrary, a restful dark, a dark to savor. Take it as you will." - Edward HoaglandThere is no simple life, and these are not simple times. The mythical days of clearer heads, of moral certainty, and of men and women acting with resolute spirit are behind us (if those times ever existed). Black Mountain, from Vancouver, British Columbia, write, perform and record music that speaks (and sings) to this realization: that solutions are rarely simple, that the world is as complex as it is ambiguous, and that music sprinkled with an inoculating dose of madness may well be the Pied Piper that takes us all back into the primordial mountain, where our hearts can be made steady and our minds can be set free. read more from the source...

THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

Artist / Band: THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS
Song (MP3): TWIN CINEMA
Album: TWIN CINEMA
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: Matador
Info: The third album from Vancouver pop maestros The New Pornographers continues to feature Neko Case and Dan Bejar (Destroyer) as well as new vocalists Kathryn Calder and Nora O'Connor. Fans of 'Mass Romantic's' kinkiness will find immediate appeal, as will those partial to ' Electric Version's' drive. Yet the songs on 'Twin Cinema' veer more toward the rocking and the personal than the sugar of the earlier work. read more from the source...

EZRA REICH

Artist / Band: EZRA REICH
Song (MP3): I NEED A MOMENT ALONE
Album: MILKSHAKE ARCADE
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: Tractor Beam
Info: Recently declared "The Saint of Synth Pop" by Deli Magazine, a publicationfocused entirely on the New York City independent music scene, Ezra Reich has been steadily spreading his joyous pop confections to fans who are taking notice from New York to London, from Paris to LA.
He grew up in New York City has been performing and recording under his own name since 2002. Initially drawing influences from folk and Americana, Ezra Reich's music evolved into song oriented elecro-pop with the self-release of his first album "Freeze the Night" in the spring of 2003. read more from the source...

NADA SURF

Artist / Band: NADA SURF
Song (MP3): DO IT AGAIN
Album: THE WEIGHT IS A GIFT
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: Barsuk Records
Info: In the 10+ years Nada Surf have been around, they've had their share of struggles and success. After their 1995 debut record High/Low, which produced a wildly popular MTV hit song, the band toured a bunch and went on to record an even better record, the proximity effect. read more from the source...

CLUE TO KALO

Artist / Band: CLUE TO KALO
Song (MP3): COME TO MEAN A NATURAL LAW
Album: ONE WAY, IT'S EVERY WAY
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: Mush Records / The Leaf Label /Spunk!/& Records
Info: Someone once asked me, in a general sense, "so what’s up with Curtis?" I wasn’t sure where to start. I tried the story about 250 types of mistletoe; not much impact (a poor choice) - only polite nodding. I moved to the ‘what that sign is doing, Alan, is it’s advising you…’ piece; a touch more enthusiasm, yet I could tell I just wasn’t communicating his unique perspective. Once upon a time we all went dancing at a fairly low-brow, seedy yet comfortable-type club, a notorious venue for meeting someone to spend the next 6 or so hours with (we all returned home alone, to eat pizza and watch The Office). Curtis wove through the gyrating boozy crowd with such finesse, such composure that She was moved to tell him that he "brought intelligence to the dance floor." read more from the source...

THE SHRINKING ISLANDS

Artist / Band: THE SHRINKING ISLANDS
Song (MP3): IN THE BLACK CARPET
Album: In the Black Carpet Version 2
File Under: Indie
Info: "The Shrinking Islands reveal more of a shadowy narrative about a reluctant agent sucked into his final assignment. On In The Black Carpet EP2 (all previous tracks available on their site) three more chapters fall into place, drawing from the dark jangle pop of The Feelies and Murmur-era R.E.M. Recorded subterraneously at WMBR, the band has enjoyed playing with Vetiver, Pants Yell!, Great Lake Swimmers and many others around their Boston home." read more from the source...
