Young Astronaut

ARTIST / BAND: Young Astronaut
FREE ALBUM: Fawn
FILE UNDER: Indie
LABEL: s/r
INFO: Young Astronaut release entire debut album Fawn as free download

Young Astronaut originated in the suburbs of the New Forest as brothers Chris and Pete Boakes in 2007.  Whilst at different universities, they’d return home for the holidays and spend their time experimenting with their harmonious and considered blend of music that is the foundation of the bands delicate tonality.

In early 2011, the melodic explorations of the acoustic ideas and lyrics were refined and evolved until ten tracks were formed, creating the basis for Fawn. During that summer, drummer Niko Battistini joined the band adding a strong percussive shift to the band’s dynamic. This new sound was then complimented with a score of rough cellos and violins before being taken to The Ranch and produced by Geoff Swan; after which Paul Meeson joined them on bass guitar.

In support of upcoming tour dates in March and the summer festival seasonYoung Astronaut are releasing the entire album as a free download from their website www.youngastronaut.co.uk. 

The ten track LP, mastered by Jon Astley (The Who, Bon Jovi & The Rolling Stones), demonstrates a fusion of acoustic, folk and indie with lyrical content ranging from eternal innocence to sofa surfing to a love* story between an artist and a villain.

* The word ‘love’ was not used once in the making of this record.

The resulting record is an emotionally charged debut from Young Astronaut, blending influences from English night folk to post-grunge with a maturity and finesse that falls somewhere between Ben Howard, Frank Turner and a young Radiohead.

PACIFICUV

ARTIST / BAND: PACIFICUV
SONG (MP3): Funny Girl
ALBUM: WEEKENDS
FILE UNDER:
LABEL: Mazarine
INFO: pacificUV was formed in the late 1990’s in Athens, Georgia. Half the band wanted to sound like a psychedelic Jesus and Mary Chain tripping on Nyquil, while the other half wanted to play one chord for 45 minutes to determine its color. Somehow, what emerged from these disparate goals was their critically acclaimed, 4 years in the making, self-titled debut album, pacificUV that Rolling Stone called a “masterpiece”. The perfect mixture of noise and melody, the first L.P. was a sprawling ambient landscape that revealed a myriad of influences, from shoegaze to 60’s rock, to slow core to post-rock. read more from the source...

Mux Mool

ARTIST / BAND: Mux Mool
SONGs (MP3): Palace Chalice / Raw Gore
ALBUM: Planet High School
FILE UNDER: electronic
LABEL: Ghostly International
INFO:I know it’s electronic music,” Brian Lindgren says, “but sometimes I feel like an old-timey traveling musician with an M-Audio Trigger Finger instead of a guitar.” As Mux Mool, Lindgren has been criss-crossing the country by himself for years, collecting records, loops, and samples, and rocking parties in towns both large and boondock-small. Lindgren is a self-confessed nerd to the bone, an incurable doodler, a Star Trek: The Next Generation fan; he lives on energy drinks and barely sleeps, spending his days working on music and his nights absorbing Internet memes by the hard-drive load. Mux Mool’s homespun electro hip-hop is the product of an introverted mind, an extroverted imagination, and a bottomless cultural appetite

Northern Lights (exclusive MP3)

So here we are a few years later,but where were we before?Lost in different dimensions of war and obssesive disorders,change of band members and many other shattering niuances which led to the Landmark today.With the help of Tornike Gvelesiani our recording manager who produced,managed and even recorded drums on this ep we went back to the past with a little view on the future.Here's our video by Temo Ezugbaia to the single northern lights a song and a place which is once meant to be Landmark's last resort.We can all have a sneak peak at where it started and was pure,naive and honest.Still in this songs, you can sense that the tide is changing,with maturing comes the great darkness,procrastination and indifference to the human kind.We can only expect it to get more corrupted as the sick city is slowly destabilising the idealism and happy endings in which they believed,turning them into narcisistic nihilist assholes,trampling over your ideologies which led to the sickness in the first place.

Doldrums

ARTIST / BAND: Doldrums

MP3: "I'm Homesick Sittin' Up Here In My Satellite"

ALBUM: Empire Sound

FILE UNDER: electronic, experimental, pop

LABEL: No Pain In Pop

INFO: Doldrums is a musical venture produced by Canadian artist Eric Woodhead. As a part of a larger community reacting to overhype, the plasticity of modern youth culture and it's ultimately alienating nature, his music deals with the loss of the individual in an increasingly altruistic society. Doldrums' music reflects this societal change on a personal level, as a member of the last generation to remember life pre-internet and 24 hour status updates. His androgynous voice comes across mid-panic attack, floating in a sea of chopped up samples, disembodied vocals and tribal percussion. Spearing between electro-hallucinogenic freak outs and languid nostalgia, his tracks somehow manage to elevate classic pop melodies above a sample saturated sound collage.

Other Lives

ARTIST / BAND: Other Lives

MP3s: For 12 / Tamer Animals / Song Song

ALBUM: Tamer Animals

FILE UNDER: Folk, Folk-Rock, Indie Pop

LABEL: TBD Records

INFO: There’s no track this writer’s thrashed more this year than Other Lives’ single For 12. It’s suspenseful, dreamy and awestruck in equal measures, combining undulating strings (possibly Mellotron), lightly galloping Morricone rhythms, subtle shades of piano and acoustic guitar and vocals that run the gauntlet from sighing to falsetto. Imagine an eagle’s eye view over an unbroken stretch of Brokeback Mountain prairie. Or imagine Fleet Foxes influenced by Radiohead’s Pyramid Song. And if For 12 is the absolute jewel here, the rest isn’t far behind.

Justice

ARTIST / BAND: Justice

SONG (MP3): On'n'On

ALBUM: Audio, Video, Disco.

FILE UNDER: Electro, electronic, Indie Pop, pop

LABEL: Ed Banger Records

INFO: According to Xavier de Rosnay of Justice, Audio, Video, Disco is lighter than their first album. With the first album being darker, and this one being "daytime music", not as aggressive as the first one.^[1] The album also features more collaborations than on †. In a 6/10 review, Spindescribes Justice's style on the album as, "trying their hand at '70s arena rock...melding Italo-disco and singing hair-metal guitars."^[2]

The vocal parts of "Ohio" closely resemble the traditional French song "Orleans", as it was recorded by David Crosby on his solo album If I Could Only Remember My Name in 1971, although the lyrics have been changed.
