Genre-bending indie rock pop electronic (maybe?) from Asian She, a Los Angeles duo with no Asian anything. Danceable, dark and sophisticated all at once, Asian She’s s/t EP was released back in September. Noah Lebenzon and Thomas Froggatt have a little something up their sleeves with their unique sound, and I wouldn’t be surprised to… Continue reading Asian She

Ace Reporter
Ace Reporter, aka Chris Snyder out of Brooklyn, has creeped into my life lately with his melodic new single “Untouched and Arrived,” as well as a benefit track, “Empress,” for victims of Hurricane Sandy. I’m surprised I hadn’t heard much about Snyder before, as he apparently wrote, recorded and published an original song every 24… Continue reading Ace Reporter
[MP3] Gliss: “Hunting”
Happy Thanksgiving, America! Need some noise for after-the-food festivities to infuse your night-music soul? Gliss, a Danish/American three-piece, is happy to provide for you. Their recently released track, “Hunting,” is a multi-sensory experience; close your eyes as you listen and see the flashing neon lights. Gliss – “Hunting” [MP3] Gliss’ new album, Langsom Dans, is… Continue reading [MP3] Gliss: “Hunting”
New music from Coed Pageant
I’ve already posted about Coed Pageant with Volume 1 — Winter Blitz — of their Seasons EPs, but feel compelled to give them a little extra space on this here modest blog, as they’ve significantly matured since that release of their final Seasons installment, Volume 4: The Fallout. It’s still raw and could use some tuning… Continue reading New music from Coed Pageant

I was recently talking to my Canadian friends, The Wooden Sky, about the excitement of their NYC show last night at Rockwood Music Hall (after they sold out our Knox Road show at Pianos back in May!), and much to my chagrin, realized I wouldn’t be around. They have an incredibly tight and rambunctious live… Continue reading Hannah Winkler
The 1975 releases new song, “You”
While I attempt to work through the consequences of this storm (I am perfectly fine and have power, not to fear!), I don’t have much mental capacity to say anything other than “listen!”. But the song below, which came out yesterday, is helping me become a little less stir-crazy. The 1975’s new EP, Sex, is… Continue reading The 1975 releases new song, “You”
Skittish releases The Five Stages EP
I like writing. Rarely do I think posts are better presented with what I’m given from the artist. Except with Skittish. I’ll make it quick: Band, Skittish, about to be signed by Yep Roc. Love triangle, suicide attempt, label scared off, members disperse leaving me alone to make “The Five Stages EP.” The new Skittish… Continue reading Skittish releases The Five Stages EP
Guy Fox
When the subject of the email addressed to me read “Innovative Indie-Afro-Yacht-Rock Band,” I almost immediately trashed it. But then I thought about how sassy and jerky I’ve been on email lately and decided to give the San Fransisco crew a spin. I’m getting too jaded; I gotta try to get back into things a… Continue reading Guy Fox
Passenger Peru demonstrates their adventurous side on self-titled debut album
Largely the vision of former Antlers bassist Justin Stivers, Passenger Peru rides Stivers bass into more experimental areas than Antlers usual fare. Stivers teamed up with Justin Gonzalez to bring Passenger Peru’s self-titled album into existence. From the start of the album, you get the impression that Stivers attempted to bring the experimental side of… Continue reading Passenger Peru demonstrates their adventurous side on self-titled debut album
Me And My Drummer
I apologize for not picking up on this duo sooner. After hearing them off the recently released music video for their single, “Don’t Be So Hot,” I’m ready for a much heavier dose of Berlin’s Me And My Drummer. The climactic ending is staggering, as are Charlotte Brandi’s vocals. Me And My Drummer on the… Continue reading Me And My Drummer
