Wow, it’s amazing to see how many fantastic indie (dream) pop records already came out this year. For instance Bloom by Beach House, Oshin by DIIV – well, this one is maybe not typical indie pop, but whatever – or most recently Wild Nothing ’s stunning Nocturne LP. It might well be that soon we can add another album to this list: Calendar by Rostov-on-Don’s Motorama , which will be released on Talitres [...]

Actually "Laika" was released late last year, together with a bunch of other great tracks on Twin Cabins debut album I'm Sure . It's just too good not to share, though.

Already being part of the recent guerolitoplaylist 08|12 , Lucerne's indie darlings Alvin Zealot are readying their second album Flux for a 21st of September release.

The album will be out via Goldon Records . stream | Flux

Evje and Silver Firs are two of Switzerland's most forward thinking and most interesting musical projects right now. As Belia Winnewisser is part of both bands, they've decided to join forces.
