GOLDENBOY

ARTIST / BAND: GOLDENBOY
SONG (MP3): END OF FOREVER
ALBUM: Underneath the Radio
FILE UNDER: Indie / Alternative
LABEL: http://www.eeniemeenie.com/
INFO: "The name started somewhere on a European tour I did with Elliott Smith. I can't remember," Sullivan says, thinking about how he earned the nickname that would quickly become his band's name. "Elliott said a little joke thing like, 'Hey Goldenboy.' Then (Smith's drummer) Scott McPherson's sister, Lisa, was booking a show in L.A. and they needed another band. Scott remembered me and told Lisa I was Goldenboy. Ever since then I've been Goldenboy."..................................................................... If Shon Sullivan [Vox, guitar and keys for Elliott Smith, Neil Finn, Spain, The Eels,Matt Sharp] and Bryan Bos [ Drums, Vox for Moonwash, Process, Matt Sharp] could explain their music, they probably never would have written it. Lucky for us, Goldenboy travels in a lush melancholy world that we can enter with him. This record promises a return to innocence even if lost again. Hooks can be deceiving with an unexpected blue note and you will experience a different, twisted take from Goldenboy's 'Blue Swan Orchestra'. The band tends to include their friends on their recordings, like the guest appearance by Elliott Smith on their song "Summertime". Who knows who shall appear on the next record? Retro- poetic, quirky and haunting, Goldenboy hails from the micro infamous 'Diamond Bar' of Southern California. Blue Swan Orchestra is the end result of a 2 year run thru the sprinklers, a midnight swim in the nearby apartment building swimming pool, a trip to the local liquor store and then back to the eerie quiet of American suburbia to a garage anyone would drive by and never know.

ALBUM: Backward Masks
FILE UNDER: Rock / Folk Rock / Indie
LABEL: misrarecords.com
INFO: Athens, Georgia's Summer Hymns arose several years ago from singer/guitarist Zachary Gresham's need for an outlet for songs not suited for a typical rock band. Many of these songs were informed by his experiences playing piano and singing hymns and folk songs at at his grandmother's house in rural Georgia. With that as the base for his songs, he added flavors inspired by contemporary artists like Neil Young, Robert Wyatt, Yo La Tengo, and Smog, and Summer Hymns was born.

Miho elegantly arranged Sweet Samsara with two different interpretations of the track -- Part 1, a pensive piano driven opener and Part 2, a pop thumper that morphs into an eclectic dance beat. Ecdysis also includes A Song For Kids, a Japanese sing-along pop song that is so catchy you'll forget its not in English.

WALTER MEEGO

ARTIST / BAND: WALTER MEEGO
SONG (MP3): THROUGH A KEYHOLE
ALBUM: Romantic / Through a Keyhole Single
FILE UNDER: Pop / Experimental
LABEL: http://www.brilliante.tv/
INFO: Walter Meego is like the most delicious sandwich ever made; except its even better than that. Its like the sound of a record collection exploding into a million shards of awesome. Its like Charles Bronson, Steve Mcqueen, and Chuck Norris rolled up into one sweet, punishing bad-ass. Imagine a tsunami of Malt Liquor - we're even more intoxicating than that. We beat the '96 Bulls 15 times... and they only lost 10 that year! We once collectively ate 700 pounds of chicken red curry, had a brisk walk, and rounded off the day with 12 additional hours of platinum-record-making studio sessions. Hold on... Pharrell's on the other line... Someone once tried to declare us the winners of the 1960 U.S. Hockey Olympic gold. We insisted that we weren't alive at the time. It didn't matter. We're like the ultimate evolutionary champion - like a wicked combination of Sabre-Toothed Tiger, Polar Bear, and Hippo in one killer beast. Ever heard of Ghengis Khan? We ate him. We also ate all of Jamaica once. And it tasted good.

ARTIST / BAND: I AM BONES
SONG (MP3): BUILDING HOSPITALS
ALBUM: Wromg numbers are never busy
FILE UNDER: Rock / Indie / Hardcore
LABEL: http://www.morningsiderecords.dk/
INFO: Am Bones' primary engine is Johannes Gammelby.Since 2001, he has written countless songs in his bedroom and recorded them, playing all the instruments himself. However, this is not your typical bedroom-DIY-lo-fi package, the intention was to write aggressive pop. Anti-indie, if you will. (Define 'indie'?! ed.) It is all about seeing how far it is possible to go, in one given direction, with a short attention span.Thus, the debutalbum succeedes in combining hard-core, folk, hip-hop, new wave and just plain ol' rock 'n' roll.In order for the album to be realized, Gammelby recruited fellow morningsider and long-time friend Torsten Larsen (Larsen & Furious Jane) as producer on the album. additionally, long-time drummer-icon Piet Breinholm Bendtsen (18th Dye, Test, Rhonda Harris) and bassplayer Gaute Niemann from your future-favoriteband, Spleen United, were recruited. The ad hoc band recorded the basic tracks for Wrong Numbers Are Never Busy and Torsten and Gammelby finished the recordings themselves over the course of the summer 2005, adding vocals and more guitars and so forth.

KRISTOFFER RAGNSTAM

ARTIST / BAND: KRISTOFFER RAGNSTAM
SONG (MP3): BEAUTY
ALBUM: Do You Want a Piece of Me
FILE UNDER: Indie / Pop / Alternative
LABEL: bluhammock music
INFO: While high-profile pop bands from Sweden were busily grabbing press attention, their countryman Kristoffer Ragnstam was working under the radar screen, making music that refused to fit the Scandinavian stereotype. His sound was different - too different to ignore. Musicians took note, not only in his country but in Germany and Japan. The media responded too, going overboard with effusions that, at the request of this somewhat self-effacing artist, we won't repeat here. It's strange, when you think about it, because Kristoffer didn't play that many gigs. In fact, he didn't even play any instruments, other than drums, and yet managed to cut a solo demo that won him his first record deal. Soft-spoken, with a wry sense of humor, he thrived primarily in recording studios, where he apprenticed to staff engineers on sessions and then applied their lessons to his own projects, working after-hours until crashing on the nearest couch.

LABEL: Rainbow Quartz Records.
INFO: The Asteroid No. 4 are from Philadelphia and began in the late 1990's with a series of singles, compilations and a debut full length dubbed "Introducing the Asteroid No.4"(Lounge). The album was compared to all things psychedelic from Pink Floyd to early Verve. In 2000, the band began experimenting with a stripped-down aesthetic and explored abandoning what is best associated with their sound, effected guitars. Looking to the mid-60's folkrock and British Invasion artists for inspiration, they began writing the songs that would become the "Apple Street" EP(AIP).

ALBUM: EISENHOWER
FILE UNDER: Rock / Indie / Big Beat
LABEL: http://www.bar-none.com/
INFO: There is something impossible about The SLIP.Something humble and heroic, hard and tender, soft and monstrous. Certain people agree: The SLIP have brought the epic back to rock with their new record EISENHOWER. Two brothers and a childhood friend, the three met in the halls of high school and immediately fell in together, later dropping out of college and heading off - criss-crossing the country, flying back and forth to Japan (where they developed a strong bond with cult superstar UA), and making lots of new friends and fans along the way.

ANDY

ARTIST / BAND: ANDY
SONG (MP3): NIC Z TEGO NIE BEDZIE
FILE UNDER: Indie / Pop / Rock
INFO: ANDY was formed from love and fascination with music by 4 girls, who although couldn't really play liked each other so much that decided to start a band. They called it ANDY, after drummer's teenage object of affection- Andy Bell ,the former vocalist of Ride. What was just ment to be the way of spending free time soon changed everything beyond recognition. Girls managed to play in all the biggest polish cities, on the festivals abroad (hungary, germany, china), starred in two indie films and simply got to the point they would never dream to get. You still have to wait for "the cutest Polish band's debut album" as the girls are usually too busy, lazy or depressed to record their songs about love, hate and boys. You'll either love them or hate. Your choice. But they probably won't care.

SOPHIA

ARTIST / BAND: SOPHIA
SONG (MP3): PACE
ALBUM: technology won't save us
FILE UNDER: Alternative / Indie / Pop
LABEL: http://www.cityslang.com/
INFO: Robin Proper-Sheppard could be described as bloody minded. He would probably take it as a compliment. He should. It is an apt description for a man who has emerged from a harrowing and profoundly disappointing experience and decided to do something about it. Doing his own thing, and making it work, has become second nature to him, and is undeniably something of which he is proud. But it has taken courage and conviction that at times might have been lacked by those with less energy and enthusiasm. And energy and enthusiasm are two things that Proper-Sheppard does not lack. He has them in spades.Without them, he probably wouldn't find himself where he is today, producing a fourth SOPHIA album (released via City Slang), producing further records for - amongst others - artists signed to his own record label (The Flower Shop Recordings), whilst maintaining this self-sufficiency by setting up tours for both SOPHIA and the label's other artists. read more from the source...

SONG (MP3): ALALA
ALBUM: Cansei De Ser Sexy
FILE UNDER: Powerpop / Club / Rock
LABEL: SUBPOP
INFO: To relate the story of a band which has no story clearly must involve a slight amount of background (and no small amount of sleight of hand). A South American venture involving a young group from Sao Paulo, a sudden sense of urgency and movementwithout a proper narrative, how could it happen? Where to begin? The official press release offers scattered insight, and translated from the original Portuguese, it remains a lively romp around the English language: "Taking the fact of not knowing how to play their instruments as a challenge for creativity, the group started to risk small shows in the night clubs that feed Sao Paulo underground." Skip back to Sao Paulo, circa 2003: A band comes together not with any presumptions or typical formulas, but by meeting at clubs and photologs (some sort of social networking sites focused on sharing photos and video, and apparently quite popular in Brazil), deciding to try something new. They meet in basements. They plan. Without knowing how to play the instruments set before them, the experiment begins. One day, a girl forgets her guitar and is given the microphone instead, suddenly able to yell out. It fits. everything into style."

THE BLOOD BROTHERS

ARTIST / BAND: THE BLOOD BROTHERS
SONG (MP3): LAZER LIFE
ALBUM: Young Machetes
FILE UNDER: Garage / Indie / Punk
LABEL: V2
INFO: An ecstatic ‘Oh shit!’ moment occurs midway through the catchy and caustic bounce of the Blood Brothers’ “Street Wars / Exotic Foxholes.” The song settles lithely into an eerie calm, warm with sinuous upright bass, plaintive clarinet, and a hazy Hammond organ drone. It’s both blissful and melancholy, and a pure alchemy of the band’s individual creative powers. More importantly it is a bold inversion of a peerless and progressive aesthetic the Brothers have cultivated through years of dedication.

JOSH OTTUM

ARTIST / BAND: JOSH OTTUM
SONG (MP3): WHO LEFT THE LIGHTS ON?
ALBUM: Like The Season
FILE UNDER: Pop / 2-step / R&B
LABEL: Mill Pond Records
INFO: Picture a room. The room is filled with furniture. From afar the room looks perfectly designed with not a piece missing or out of place. Then you walk closer. Upon further inspection, you realize the beautiful couch you had your eye on is as old as the thrift store it came from. And that end table that looked so vintage? Brand new, right out of the box from Ikea. The lamp looks like your Norwegian Grandmother's but the coffee table is pure Italian marble from the hippest boutique. On paper, this is an interior designer's nightmare, but in real life it seems to work perfectly. How is this possible? Josh Ottum (sounds like the season) is wondering the exact same thing. After making music in his bedroom for 4 years, this Seattle-based musician had the bright idea to make his debut album a sort of "personal greatest hits". The result? Like The Season, a twelve song/month journey into the hallways, bedrooms, dining rooms and garages of popular music. Bolstered by semi-hollow body guitars, old keyboards, dry drums, and a hundred multi-tracked voices singing melodies, melodies, harmonies, melodies and backwards woah-woahs and yeah-yeahs, Ottum's exquisite pop songs shine like polished furniture through a window on a crisp fall morning.

FILE UNDER: Electronica / Hip Hop / House
LABEL: Zick Zack
INFO: KNARF RELLÖM TRINITY Move Your Ass & Your Mind Will Follow Knarf Rellöm is in the House again. Und ruft gleich ein neues Genre aus. In Anlehnung an „No Wave“ bittet er die Plattenhändler, seine Platten in der Rubrik „No Deutschland“ einzuordnen. Denn Knarf Rellöm fühlt sich hierzulande nicht wohl und formuliert das auch offen. „Entspannter Patriotismus“ – nicht mit Knarf, denn der hält es lieber mit Sun Ra, diesem großen Visionär des Free Jazz: „Space is the Place“. Wenn auf diesem Planeten nur noch die Dummheit regiert, dann hilft bloß die Flucht ins All. Aber Knarf Rellöm ist natürlich kein Eskapist. Seine Musik ruft nach Veränderung. Im Hier und zwar jetzt, sofort! „Ist das noch zeitgemäß?“, mögen einige fragen. „Ist Knarf Rellöm etwa Kommunist?“ – Wenden Sie sich mit diesen Fragen bitte vertrauensvoll an den Künstler selbst. Und auch mit der Frage, warum auf der Dankesliste nicht nur linke Ikonen wie Toni Negri und Guy Debord auftauchen, sondern auch Franz Josef Strauss und Rudi Völler. Aber bitte genau lesen: Nicht um „Dank“ geht es hier, sondern um „Treibstoff“.

Originally conceived as an outlet for vocalist Ramesh Srivastava to record a handful of songs he had written, it soon became apparent that Voxtrot was meant to be more than a home recording project.

There's evidence of royal blood, (Queen, T Rex, Led Zeppelin) but the Greyhound have staked claim to an original sound that's uniquely irresistible. Leader Matt Whyte lays out thick guitar riffs and interweaves rich resounding singing with bassist Kamara Thomas that's described as mesmerizing vocal movement, "invoking the spirit of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris," Village Voice, February 2004. The band's show is an aggressive hour of rock from start to finish, reigning down on its audience with a barrage of ripping guitar solos and wild, thunderous beats from its drummer Ricc Sheridan. What results is a veritable rock and roll wrecking ball, swinging from sexy melodious soul to towering pop. Get ready to face the mounting dog attack, Earl Greyhound's debut full length album is due out October 3rd!

The band has played shows with Enon, Liars, Deerhoof and most recently toured Europe with Q and Not U and Japan winning fans over at a sold out show in Tokyo.Formed in 1997 by guitarist and vocalist Joe Haege, bassist Jay Winebrenner, and a drummer who was soon replaced by Joe Kelly, 31Knots moved to Portland where they began playing shows as well as writing and recording their self-released debut Climax/Anticlimax which was released in 2000.

FILE UNDER: Pop / Indie / Folk
LABEL: Gentlemen
INFO: Geneva-born Nicolas Julliard decides to become Fauve in 1999. His previous non-career moves include various participations in great unknown bands such as Grammar & Use and Illford. Multi-talented and hyperactive, Fauve explores the margins of songwriting, blending pop, minimal electro, Broadway melodies, easy-listening and bossa-nova. A natural crooner, our man knows a good tune when he hears one and therefore tries to write good ones too. French magazine "Les Inrockuptibles" awarded him a nice spot in their annual compilation CD "Ceux qu'il faut découvrir". That was in 2004, and Fauve was then known as Sombre, God only knows why... Since then, Fauve has collected enough material to produce his first album, released in spring 2006 by Gentlemen Records. In early 2005, Fauve also got together with Kid Chocolat and BellWald to create YYY, an Internet-powered label designed to host funny and weird musical experiments. (http://www.y-y-y.biz)

Collecting some of Austin's very best session players and live musicians, The Summer Wardrobe is simply tantalizing.

SONG (MP3): BIRD OF CUZCO
ALBUM: Run to ruin
FILE UNDER: singer /songwriter
LABEL: Touch & Go
INFO: Nina Nastasia was born and raised in Hollywood, CA. Having moved to New York City on a whim, Nina has gradually carved out a career as a singer-songwriter there since the early 'nineties. She has previously released three albums - Dogs (1999), The Blackened Air (2002) and Run To Ruin (2003) - all appearing on Chicago indie, Touch and Go, and all engineered by long-time fan Steve Albini (who said of 'Dogs': "Of the couple thousand records I've been involved with, this is one of my favourites"). The move from Touch and Go implies "nothing scandalous," says Nina, "just moving, the way you move sometimes. This is a good move all around."

CHRISTOPHER WILLITS

ARTIST / BAND: CHRISTOPHER WILLITS
SONG (MP3): YELLOW SPRING
ALBUM: Surf Boundaries
FILE UNDER: Experimental / Pop
LABEL: Ghostly International
INFO: Christopher Willits is a musician and multimedia artist located in San Francisco, California. Striking a delicate balance between acoustic and electronic sounds and systems, Willits manages to defy genre distinctions while still defining a sound unto his own. His numerous solo releases and collaborations cover a broad spectrum of musical styles, and include one main commonality: Willits’ unique use of the guitar with custom-made signal processing. This home-brewed software, along with Willits’ 6-string prowess, generates a unique real-time mixture of improvised melody and rhythm. Guitar lines and harmonies fold into each other. Notes and phrases hook and weave, creating complex patterns of interlocking rhythm, melody, and texture.

MUGGS

ARTIST / BAND: MUGGS
SONG (MP3): RAIN
ALBUM: Dust
FILE UNDER: Rock / Blues
LABEL: http://www.anti.com/
INFO: This is not what you were expecting. Dust, that is. It's the first solo album from Muggs, legendary in the hip-hop world as the beatmaker/producer for L.A.'s groundbreaking hip-hop trio Cypress Hill, whose noir-ish soundscapes paved the way for everything from Wu-Tang's RZA to the UK based "trip hop" movement, and if you were expecting a traditional hip hop album, then you're underestimating Muggs and surley mistaken. read more from the source...

THE KIN

ALBUM: Live at Pussycat
FILE UNDER: Rock / Acoustic / Indie
LABEL: Aletheia Records
INFO: Quietly considered one of New York City's most promising independent acts (sold out Bowery Ballroom, Top Ten sales CMJ week at both NYC Tower Record Stores), THE KIN's music is passionate, raw and poetic. The New York Times describes them as "bombastic" and TimeOut NY calls their music "soulful." Co-lead Isaac Koren remarks, "We play for the soul of it, the love of it and the need to do it." Thorry Koren adds, "Our music comes from making those eloquent mistakes".

TALL HANDS

ARTIST / BAND: TALL HANDS
SONG (MP3): FIFTEEN ON ICE
ALBUM: Tall Hands
FILE UNDER: Indie Pop
LABEL: http://www.pulse-recording.com/
INFO: On their 2006 debut EP, the Long Island, NY-based indie ensemble Tall Hands unveils their self-described "boat rock." This apparently translates to "quirky power-pop heavily influenced by the Velvet Underground and David Bowie," as revealed on the swooning "Heroes"-esque "Fifteen on Ice" and the giddy "Introduction to the Razor." Despite Tall Hands' obvious touchstones, the group succeeds in crafting their own sound with unconventionally catchy arrangements and imaginative lyrics, creating anticipation for their inevitable full-length album.

RAINER MARIA

ARTIST / BAND: RAINER MARIA
SONG (MP3): TINFOIL
ALBUM: Past Worn Searching
FILE UNDER: Emo / Punk
INFO: Rainer Maria came together in 1995 in the not-so-sleepy university town of Madison, Wisconsin. Famous in no small part for its long history of social activism, Madison supplied the perfect environment for the members to run a music collective, hosting their own d.i.y. events for seminal Indie/Punk acts such as Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, Make* Up and Promise Ring while these bands were very much in their infancy.

BIPOLAR BEAR

ARTIST / BAND: BIPOLAR BEAR
SONG (MP3): BOGOTA
ALBUM: Man Mountain
FILE UNDER: Southern Rock / Rock
LABEL: Rococo Records
INFO: Founded with ex-members of The Manifolds, Rose for Bohdan, Amazing Custom Caravans, and various other outfits, the Bipolar Bear is hardly stable. Sometimes, the Bear hibernates, and sometimes the Bear gets all amped on caffeine and anti-depressants and beats dudes up at the local dive-bar. Swampy-ass guitar driven madness, with angular bass lines and some off-beat drumming create a sound to be reckoned with. Check out their EP on

SUSHIMOB

SONG (MP3): I GO ROBOT
ALBUM: the controls and their function
FILE UNDER: Garage / Indie / Alternative

IN CIVILIAN CLOTHING

ARTIST / BAND: IN CIVILIAN CLOTHING
SONG (MP3): CURRENT THERAPIST
ALBUM: We Made a Killing, We Made a Mess
FILE UNDER: Indie / Ambient / Experimental
LABEL: rightplace.tv
INFO: Most of us probably know of Flint, Michigan from the Michael Moore documentary Roger & Me, and this conflicted town has produced the mysterious electronic-tinged acoustic pop of In Civilian Clothing. Infusing elements of the dour Brit-pop of Tindersticks, the drum-machine-driven future pop of Morr Music, and the songwriting chops of Ben Gibbard and Conor Oberst, In Civilian Clothing soundtrack driving through secluded suburbs during rainy days, letting the headlights and radio provide much of the unique atmosphere. Its icy-synth rock that doesn't feel like new-wave and post-emo that avoids being overblown. If you want your records to stir up your emotions with precise subtlety each time you throw it on, In Civilian Clothing have your song cycle all set up and ready to indulge. All tracks clean.

ALBUM: demo
FILE UNDER: Rock / Experimental / Powerpop

MAY OR MAY NOT

NEW LOU REEDS

ARTIST / BAND: NEW LOU REEDS
SONG (MP3): YOU DONT HAVE TO DIE
ALBUM: Top Billin'
FILE UNDER: Reggaeton / Ghettotech / Regional Mexican
LABEL: Exit Stencil Recordings
INFO: ABOUT THE NEW LOU REEDS: Beneath the shaking, edgy fear of the future, the sentimental nightmare of the past, and general ncomprehension of the present, there exists a kind of wistful humor. Rockin' their way thru that struggle comes the New Lou Reeds. Not quite 'heartland rock' and not what most people call 'punk' anymore, the band owes its sonic debt to a surprisingly diverse array of sources, both musical and literary. But it's their honesty that perhaps best defines them; they may have read a lot, but have their feet firmly entrenched in the mud of the proletariat.
