Electronic Beetnik took a metaphorical inspired page from the trippy novel "Alice in Wonderland" written by Lewis Carroll. That is to say that Beetnik took an interesting concept and applied that to his music which suits the electronic genre very well, I must add. Beetnik starts off with Gallus in Wonderland, a sort of musical interpretation of the fall Alice takes down the hole into the randomness and chaos of this other world. Gallus in Wonderland "sets down a solid bass-filled riff and adds a large number of variations, scratches and breaks to make [...]
Indie As 12 o'clock midnight rolls around, I caught myself listening to Soldier, Sailor's debut album "And/Et/Y" in the midst of a long weekend of work and cupcakes. Not to mention that this is such a soothing album worthy of listening to on repeat for hours; which rather borders on ... well hooked. Indie folk is the name of the game. There's a certain linger about Erica Bonette's album that doesn't want to leave and I don't want to let it leave. She leaves such a pleasant heirloom amongst the many CD's sitting on my [...]
Soul Electronic James Blake released an EP entitled Enough Summer last summer in August of 2011 and I was completely captivated by it. In particular, James Blake's collaboration with Justin Vernon of the renowned indie folk group, Bon Iver caught my ear. "Fall Creek Boys Choir" is the result of their collab. and I cannot get enough of this wonderfully multifarious track. At first listen, I was quite surprised as to what I was actually listening to. It seemed like such an odd song to me, but after a few [...]

Bluegrass Singer/Songwriter I have followed Conner Youngblood for quite some time now and I have to say, he is one of my all-time favourite artists. I have been absolutely loving his tunes since I first started listening to him just about over a year ago. I have previously posted on tracks of his like Monsters , Drift , and his Lil Wayne/Float On mashup which are stunning chill tracks. One thing that really gets me about Conner Youngblood is that he experiments with [...]
Electronic Gentlemen Thieves released a track called Grand Prix a few months ago and I am really late getting to this. Grand Prix is a really cool and really fresh electro track that definitely deserves some attention. I'm particularly enjoying the switch from the electronic aspect of the song to the guitar riffs mixed in between. I thought it's a really nice touch. This song will be featured on Gentlemen Thieves EP which is currently in the making. You can also download the track for free from their Facebook page here . [...]

Indie Folk It's been a bit hard to find the motivation to write these and I apologize; as short as they are. Working full-time here in Ottawa you'd think I'd find some sort of inspiration from this beautiful city but no, nothing seems more precious than regular sleep. Since there hasn't been a post on Blind Pilot here before it would be more sensible to start from the beginning with their release album '3 Rounds and a Sound', but I've decided to do that later. Their most [...]

Click to listen to more from Youth Lagoon Indietronica From the likes of home-recording artist Trevor Powers to the intimate and intricate sounds that a synthesizer could ever conceive of making, comes the modest sounds of The Year of Hibernation ( title of the LP ). A title that couldn't ring true any more so than Hank Moody and his love for women (Californication reference). By ring true, I implied the amount of time spent cooped up in the metaphorical confinements of [...]
