I’ve written about Color of Clouds aplenty here on Knox Road, so it’s with much excitement to provide you with this information. The Brooklyn trio who specialize in sweet, subdued electronic pop are set to digitally release their debut full-length, Satellite of Love, on April 6 along with a record release show at Pianos in… Continue reading Color of Clouds to release debut album, Satellite of Love, on April 6

jj’s nÂș 3 is so Swedish (read: lovely)

I love being the resident Swedish reviewer on Knox Road. Because the Swedes know what they’re doing with pop, period. So it comes as no surprise that Joakim Benon and Elin Kastlander, the duo behind jj, have delivered a stunningly refreshing work of indie pop on their second full-length album, nÂș 3. You know how… Continue reading jj’s nÂș 3 is so Swedish (read: lovely)

Liars cordially invite you on a wondrous journey to Sisterworld

I can’t think of a band that revels in changing genre and tearing apart expectations quite like Liars. Since their 2001 debut, They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top, the band has seen changes that have taken them from the dance floor to German witch trials to “Mt. Heart… Continue reading Liars cordially invite you on a wondrous journey to Sisterworld

Meklit Hadero

Honestly, I couldn’t think of better music for a Saturday afternoon. You know, it’s that time when we’re either preparing to go out for a night of festivities, getting some unfinished work done around the house, or catching up on some “me” time. We need some laid back, groovy tunes. Don’t tell me you don’t… Continue reading Meklit Hadero

iTunes Mixery

For those who don’t know, this is iTunes Mixery part diez (ten). Here’s how it goes: I play iTunes on shuffle -> tell you which song comes up -> provide the mp3 and a tidbit -> continue until five songs and embarrassment are complete. Again, nothing’s off-limits – I don’t “fix the mix”. Have a… Continue reading iTunes Mixery

New MP3 from Hands: “Returning”

Quite an apt song title, eh? Our Hands friends from L.A. keep cranking out new tunes – this time they sent us “Returning”, featuring Meg O’Donnell. Sticking to the usual Hands theme, “Returning” is a trippy ditty, and perhaps even dreamier than previous material we’ve posted from them. The wandering synth and vocals provide the… Continue reading New MP3 from Hands: “Returning”

Rogue Wave is flimsy and unaffecting on Permalight

Where to start? The first single off Permalight, “Good Morning”, was a startlingly not-very-good-first-single-for-a-much-anticipated-album. And by not very good, I mean I was in some disbelief (alright, slight exaggeration) when I first heard it. It’s come to grow on me a bit, but upon that first listen, all hell broke loose (eh, maybe not as… Continue reading Rogue Wave is flimsy and unaffecting on Permalight

[MP3] Tim and Sam’s Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam: “Choices”

Yeah, that’s the name of the band. I almost considered not posting because of the ridiculous title. And it’d really be a shame if I hadn’t, because “Choices” is a gorgeous tune and speaks wonders for the band. Sparkling, shimmering folktronica at its finest. From North Wales, T&S (four members) are set to release Life… Continue reading [MP3] Tim and Sam’s Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam: “Choices”
