Underwater Getdown
Burritos on The Ocean Floor Anyone?
Underwater Getdown are one of the nicest bands I have come across recently. Their eagerness to share some songs with us was snapped up willingly and I’d now like to share them with you.
From Tempe, Arizonia, Underwater Getdown create soft shoe-gaze laced with psychedelic harmony. Originally formed by a few […]

Band of Horses
Time Waits For Some! Stands Still For Others!
It certainly hasn’t taken long for Mt. Pleasant’s favourite three-piece indie band to return with another stunning album. Cease to Begin is the second offering in two years from Band of Horses, and like last year’s Everything All The Time it is music of the easy listening tradition. […]

Nouvelle Vague
Sexy slumber party chanteuses make
a Bela Lugosi Lounge Act
Bossa nova new-wave soul-jazz goes to bed and gets all swoony and starry-eyed, crossing dreams and spanning continents. From France to Brazil to New York, the collective re-invents no-wave post-punk phenomenas, stalking the dreary world of rock and diving into the slums of pop to deliver breathy […]

Poingly
“Prepare Your Genitalia”
Apparently all you electroclash Kat’s are as horny as hell, so here’s a post just for you. Have you heard of Poingly? Probably not! He’s another artist from the Brooklyn, New York area who pushes the boundary of music and art deep between the sheets. A sex fiend who’ll take you anytime anywhere, […]

Poisson d’Avril
Hypnotic No-Hop Suffocation
When you discover new music that completely blows your mind, it’s normally for one or two reasons. Poisson d’Avril gives you endless reasons, but the most obvious is his genre redefining sound. In fact forget that, redefining is the wrong word; he creates his own genre, a genre we can call No-Hop. An […]

Pash
C’mere You!
If you haven’t had a good pash in a while, come give Einstein a kiss. Here’s one Pash you will never forget! The Virginia quartet are full of love and with a heart of gold they want to share it with you. They’ll get your mouth grinning, your eyes steering and your ears listening […]

Manu Chao
“This is a social experiment.”
Somewhat challenging the perception of ‘Indie’ and ‘Dinner-Party World Music’ in general, Manu Chao’s French/Latin music may comfortably fit the latter environs, but he doesn’t really fit into any category. That’s why I decided to post about him here.
And so what! I think you’ll find his intelligent genre-hopping and seamless drifting […]

Little Pictures
‘Awfully catchy and very cute’
How could anyone disagree with Harry Ricketts? If he likes Little Pictures, who are we to argue. The Wellington trio of Mark, Johanna and James formed Little Pictures only four months ago. Initially a one man project, LP started like all good indie groups, in a bedroom in an unknown Wellington […]

Bonde do Role
Let’s Make Love and Listen Alice In Chains?!
Super fun crazy mish mashes of baile beats and intoxicating exotic accents and rhythms and badly mixed antique funk samples, an interesting Thursday make. Marina, Pedro and Gorky of the Domino signed band, are arguably the most exciting South American band to have made it big outside of […]

The Brunettes
Don’t Talk, Put Your Head On My Shoulder
Ask yourself, what’s been the best pop album this year? No wait! I can answer that one for you. The best pop album of 2007 is Structure And Cosmetics; there you go I said it, it’s the best, number one, first place.
If you haven’t heard the timeless melody, […]
