VIDEO : Soko - I Thought I Was An Alien

image

Stéphanie Sokolinski has been a popular name in international realm since 2007,but it was only recently that she caught my ears.

Her accent and those indifferent folkish vocals are a blessing to the ears,with the unique themes attached to each of her songs is just impeccable.

The record trades in themes are of love and loss, loneliness and learning, and the vividly detailed lines pair well with SoKo’s gift for conveying emotion via tight phrasing and restraint and the Spike Jonez just makes it whole difference experience 

Guys,A must listen here

image

Helsinki indie post-rock outfit All Will Be Quiet have released their debut album,On The First Day,which is poised to not stay “quiet”.

The album is a decent debut effort,featuring great examples of expansive and melancholic rock,its basically is a concept record about the collapse and rebirth of society with an optimistic view on the how the future will be for mankind

In “Dark Dreams” the band hit the perfect chord,and makes one of the most tasteful indie-rock delights made this summer

Plants and Animals - Lightshow

image

This song has been released months ago,and i don’t know how i missed it,it perfect,its a little different,its a catchy beat,and the vocals are impeccable,kind of song that goes on repetition after each of your song.

The song feels like hours,it feels like so soft,actually it just feels right.

Foxes - Let Go For Tonight

image

The misleadingly plural Foxes is actually just London’s Louisa Rose Allen, a 22-year-old music school dropout who crafts completely irresistible and compellingly strange pop music all on her own.

Allen is going to release a new EP titled “Warriors” 1st July via Neon Gold Records on 7” vinyl and digital EP. Pre-order here.

“Let Go For Tonight” is just released on her soundcloud and will be on the EP,the song  probably her most anthemic track yet,with everything falling correct,the vocals,the production,hard to believe its still a demo.

Summer Camp - Life

image

“Life” is one of a kind song - it goes from a ballad with heavy vocals to “lets dance” track in just space of minutes and you kinda will like that as it will get you all riled up.

Their new EP “Always” is out 9 July on Apricot Recording Company/ Moshi Moshi

Track + Tracklist after the jump.

The Mynabirds - Buffalo Flower

image

The Mynabirds (Laura Burhenn and producer Richard Swift) have combined again to release their sophomore album “Generals”,a protest record wrapped in lush orchestrations.

From that record “Buffalo Flower” (our pick) finds songwriter Laura Burhenn stepping up as a assertive force,much less brasher than her previously latest “Generals“,and vocals that are worth dying for,it makes a perfect track.

She also sounds like Florence Welch sometimes,but one thing is for sure that this next album is gonna be dead serious.

Ghost Beach - Miracle

image

Fronted by Josh Ocean and Eric Mendelsohn,GHOST BEACH injects a bit of a surf pop / tropical vibe into their indie rock approach,and that’s all the difference that make them so much better and melodic to listen to.

The steady grooves with lo-fi guitar riffs,just makes it a perfect SUMMER anthem,so grab ya Ray Bans and get to the beach with this,not with real Ghosts,i.e if they are real.

Beach House - The Hours

image

Bloom by Beach House will be released May 15th and ever since i have got my ears onto their music i am in love,so i would definitely say its a  ”must-buy”,their vocals are amazing,songs are beautifully weaved,creates a beautiful symphony and sinks into your mind.

In simple words,it relieves stress rather than giving it,and its kinda more of chillwave kinda music rather than the noisy 90’s shoe-gaze and in band’s Alex Scally own words,he says the album is like “a huge crystal, spinning in a cave with Star Wars figurines” agreed.

The Falling Laughing is a duo from Birmingham,signed to Oddbox records,they last released a EP way back in August 2010,but it have been not until now that i have listened to them,now when i just suddenly picked up their song “Feral Fanzine Fancy” (kinda awkard title though),i found them worth listening,they got great vocals and much greater music,its soft and gentle and in one word “beautiful” so i did my search and found their last EP free to stream below,

Reptar - Sebastian

image

If you’re looking for a band that is funky and groove-matic to accompany you these coming summer days, then Reptar,a band from Athens will fit right in on your playlists.

They make a perfect type of a music,and you call that music a jam,they got funkish vocals,a groovey beat but in all that mix-up,they do maintain one thing,they remain melodius

Airiel - Funeral

image

In 1997, Jeremy Wrenn formed a two-man shoegaze project called Airiel. Fast forward to 2012 and the band is four members strong, has toured nationally and internationally, released two singles, five EP’s (including a box set), one full length album and tracks for multiple compilations,well it’s not much,but it’s something.

Recorded and produced by the band itself, Airiel has just finished Kid Games EP for Shelflife and “Funeral” is taken from it,the song does exceptionally well and has a immensely fresh sound.

The Neighbourhood - Wires

image

Following up on their recent single “Sweater Weather” which we absolutely love,The Neighbourhood are back with another new single by the title of “Wires”.

They are going to release their EP I’m Sorry real soon (Monday),but since then we got this to ponder,the song is a bit of hip hopish,but different from previous two,which makes it more fun to listen to.

To sum up,three records,three gems from the Californians,you’ll see them playing in your town soon.

Ramona Falls is an indie rock project founded by Brent Knopf (also one-third of the band Menomena). Today, they are releasing their album Prophet on Barsuk Records, showcasing their experimental rock sound with tracks like “Proof”, “Spore” and “Archimedes Plutonium” shinning through.

“Proof” is our pick from the cut and it is just faultless.
