Syme
A band I only recently began listening to (and has left me wishing I started earlier,) Norwegian quartet, Syme, mixes layered harmonies with infectious melodies to create some truly indelible music. Fredrik Vogsborg and Ketil Endresen’s falsetto vocals make these electronic pop ditties hard not to enjoy, as the music sounds cute and refreshing. While… Continue reading Syme
New Friendly Fires “Skeleton Boy” Video
U.K.’s Friendly Fires just released a new video for “Skeleton Boy” off their September debut LP, Friendly Fires. I like the trick photography in the video. How do they make his whole body disappear?! If this is any sort of indication, 2009 is gonna be awesome. Mp3 too. Friendly Fires – “Skeleton Boy” (MP3) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyA8zfouG4Y]
Under The Sherry Moon
Under The Sherry Moon is the project of a bunch of Danish musicians that has a TON of potential. They’re working on their debut album now, but some of the first tracks are awesome!

They have pounding beats over danceable (if… Continue reading Notable CD Release: Matt & Kim – Grand

Free mp3 for whoever buys me some footsie pajamas! (Fair trade, no?) Aw, what the hell, everyone’s a winner at Knox… Continue reading So. Cold.
Pawnshop Diamond
A glass of wine and folksy love songs with a groove are always good. I don’t care who you are, you will be in the mood for it sometime or another. So it’s fortunate we have Vancouver, B.C.’s Pawnshop Diamond. Led by Katie Ormiston, the band has been described as “both vintage and timeless,” “observant… Continue reading Pawnshop Diamond
New Fol Chen video full of ocean whimsy
Fol Chen just released the video for “No Wedding Cake” and it’s a little odd. It has something to do with crabs and whales and mythical creatures?? And watch for the creepy owl. I get a little Stephen King vibe from it. “No Wedding Cake” will appear on the band’s next album, Part I: John Shade,… Continue reading New Fol Chen video full of ocean whimsy
