Centered around a pop vibe, but looks back at its shoegazing roots. Courtesy of Polyvinyl Records
The trademark free jazz underground harmonic overtones, the alternately tuned guitars, the minimalism, the lo-fi production. Courtesy of Geffen Records
From the upcoming I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass. It's lively, upbeat, and everything that's good about Yo La Tengo. Courtesy of Matador Records
The kids from Oneida are back with more crazy sound workouts. Up With People is a steady workout of guitar and snare drum. Courtesy of Secretly Canadian Records
This has a stripped down folk aesthetic with some experimental sounds put in. It can be very sparse at times, with the guitar barely clinging to the drums, a loose vocal track placed on top of that.
Shoegazey dreamlike music with pop sensibility. They know how to swing the pendulum back and forth between pop
and dream. Courtesy of The Social Registry
A majestic slow tempo piece with some of the best lyrics on the new album. That’s the thing with Doug Martsch, often times his guitar speaks louder than he does and he doesn’t get credit for his prose.
The new band with Spencer Krug from Wolf Parade. It's all pianos and guitars and catharsis, working you over until no part of you is left unaltered. It's lo-fi and big and bombastic at the same time.
Sometimes Irving lean towards psychedelic, sometimes new wave, sometimes indie rock, sometimes pop, always experimenting. That's life in the modern age for you, complex and complicated, where nothing is as literal as
it seems.
There's lots of notes and sounds and blips. It's very keyboard-centric. And the deep bass is nice. It's cool how such organic music can have such deep and moving bass in the drums.
Helvetia play the tribal lo-fi anthems of outer space to infintity. The music is a combination of an otherworldly dreamscape with its feet firmly planted on the ground.
Emerging from the gray and dark winter of the Midwest, Margot and the Nuclear So and So's have both the explosivesness and passivity that can be so common to this part of the country. The interesting part is that they have both. It's like Ryan Adams having periodic freakouts. Courtesy of Artemis Records
It's dark and sinister, like taking a ride in an old car with Nick Cave through a gothic part of town. It lurches forward with intensity and passion. Courtesy of Up Records
Straight-forward, honest and real. It's hard not to like this music because it's so very right in front of you at every moment. It's dry and indie rock and a little lo-fi.
