Ghost Hotel is hot on the scene from Frederick, MD, and of course we have a special affinity for Maryland music, what with the Knox Road name (College Park, hi!) and all. Not to take away from this talented five-piece who craft honeyed indie pop with guy-girl vocals and a simple yet elegant style. You… Continue reading Ghost Hotel

Coasts: “Wallow”
Coasts continue to bring the goods with their new song “Wallow,” off their Paradise EP, which they will stream in full at the end of June. I’m curious how their music translates live. If they can pull off the energy of their recorded material, watch out. The crescendos burst at the seams. “Wallow” is officially… Continue reading Coasts: “Wallow”
Bell X1 returns with sixth album, Chop Chop
Long one of my favorite bands, Bell X1 hadn’t probed my space much over the last couple years. That may have been my ignorance, but more likely it’s that the band wasn’t up to much new studio recording as they toured. However, that’s all changed, as the Irish trio grouped together to record their newest… Continue reading Bell X1 returns with sixth album, Chop Chop

Swim Deep: “She Changes The Weather”
I missed this dreamy gem a few weeks ago, and for that I apologize. So allow me to rectify the situation by highlighting Swim Deep’s “She Changes The Weather” on a sun-soaked Tuesday in New York City. Swim Deep on Tumblr | Facebook
Wilsen
A long gaze out the bedroom window, hoping to find something that perks her up. It’s been a long winter. She spots a daffodil but no smile breaks out. Her eyes well up; tears begin to form. Why can’t you just bring me happiness, she asks, more of herself than anything greater she may believe… Continue reading Wilsen
Fallulah: “Dried Out Cities”
Fallulah makes a quick return to Knox Road (see previously posted “Out Of It”) with her latest head-bopping single, “Dried Out Cities.” The Danish superstar is delivering pop hit after pop hit and there’s no slowing down in sight. Enjoy the ride while it lasts. Fallulah on the web | Facebook | Knox Road
Good Graeff
Is it possible to mix angst with elation? These girls (twins!) think so. If you like, head on over to their Kickstarter page and see how you can support ’em. Good Graeff on the web | Facebook
[MP3] Wildlife Control: “Ages Places”
Wildlife Control, fast becoming one of my favorite new bands, is back with “Ages Places.” Love the build-up in this one. See my previous post about them and don’t be afraid to hop on their bandwagon as it steamrolls its way through indiedom. Wildlife Control on the web | Bandcamp
Faces Together
This one is special on a personal level. Good friend Aaron Leeder, he of Exit Clov, Drunken Sufis, Sri and more, took on the moniker Faces Together for his newest work. The project is meant to be a “visual soundtrack” of sorts, with Leeder doing nearly everything alone, including all instruments, arrangements and mixing. You… Continue reading Faces Together
