Here's a mixtape of free-to-download tracks that have been knocking around the State HQ for the past couple of weeks. By way of a house-keeping exercise we feel the need to bring them to your attention. It's a fairly relaxed set, starting with Junip , Jose Gonzalez' foray into the pop-rock spectrum, some psych-pop from Spirituals and Fiveng , choice remixes of Caribou and Twin Sister , the stripped back coolness of Dan Sartain , as well as some old-school hip-hop from Missisipi's Big K.R.I.T. There's a super-catchy [...]

"From the first note, it was perfectly clear: NIKOO likes pop songs that are noisy. After three nights, NIKOO left the studio with an EP. Later this year, a second EP will follow. They first met in a small studio in the Seattle of the Netherlands. NIKOO is a group around Joep van Son (The Very Sexuals, The Sugarettes). NIKOO is vox, guitar, bass, kit, keys and noise". Structured noise travels very well when carefully packed away in a lead lined box, tagged with a short note warning only to be opened in reluctant [...]

Nikoo - Marquee 5 dudes from the Netherlands call themselves Nikoo and made a free 6 song EP of '60s psych pop/rock, shoegaze, punk, and whatever else. Most of the stuff is really fuckin good but OMG "Marquee" is like the catchiest song ever. Kinda blissful, gets in a solid groove, climaxes, and all in just over 2 minutes. Plus, I work at a sweet movie theater so I'm always having more fun at the marquee. [...]

There's a bit of MML history involved with today's featured artist, so be prepared for a number of links to previous mentions and music that can be recommended without hesitation. Joep Van Son is an Eindhoven/Noord-Brabant, Netherlands-based musician we originally became aware of when first featuring Subroutine Records artist The Sugarettes back in January 2007, then again in September 2007.

Nikoo From: Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands I've never been a believer in synchronicity but receiving an email about Dutch noise poppers Nikoo on the day after the death of Big Star 's Alex Chilton is making me reconsider. It's not that they're carbon copies of Big Star or any of Chilton's other bands but their songs fuse Big Staresque harmonies with the noise drenched rock of The Jesus & Mary Chain [...]
