Beach Fossil's 2010 self-titled album was a summery album, an album that didn't take too seriously at making people weep and sway, but a loose jammer that reminded people of something in the lines of the The Stroke's Is This It . Their new song, "Shallow", brings back the bands senseless ability to display whistle-worthy guitar riffs. Beach Fossils is following the same path as they did on their self-titled album and is recreating a beach landscape that made their self-titled album played all summer long.
Los Angeles' Julia Holter has become something of a name dropper when talking about Los Angeles' current experimental music scene. This DIY artist is making bedroom pop that sounds like music coming from a church choir. "In the Same Room" has a haunting synth in the background, Holters' voice spits out staccato-like phrases, and ambient chords breaks barriers throughout the song.

Why-ee-yay-ee-ay..
![[Review/Listen] – Porcelain Raft – "Strange Weekend"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4030446_lg.jpg)
Tweet After a string of neatly arranged EPs, and an opening slot for M83 , Porcelain Raft has finally released a debut album and "Strange Weekend" lives up to the hype. The appeal of "Strange Weekend" comes from the layering of reverb-soaked instrumentation, punctuated by Mauro Remiddi's sweeping vocals. He ranges from crooning bedroom-pop to HEALTH-like vocals, which are textually thinner and sound more ambient. Even though the music is wonderful, the production quality of "Strange Weekend" is light-years [...]

18yo Rose Keeler-Schäffeler, aka Keel Her and recently moved to London from Winchester, makes raw, scuzzy pop, apparently from the very depths of her bedroom. The music's cutesy, shy sounds contradict with their sometimes-louche titles. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Enid Coleslaw - KEEL HER (BBC Introducing: The South: 06/11/2011) by keelher shag hunt - KEEL HER by keelher [There is a video that cannot [...]
Genre: Ghost Pop So here we have some baroque bedroom pop. Epic and other worldly, dreamy and haunting. You can order a handmade disc from his bandcamp or download the thing to a price you want (even zero). Quality stuff! 8/10 [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website ]
Genre: Fuzz Pop, Fuzz Folk This is loud bedroom fuzz pop and the solo effort by someone I don't know. Reptilian Brain sounds like drunken Arcade Fire as one-man band, I mean the melody and the drive reminds me somehow on "Neigborhood 2 (Laika)" by Arcade Fire. A great EP. Nothing more to add. 8,8/10 [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website ]
Brixton duo Glyphs ' second EP, Small Sounds, takes the glitchometer and turns it up to 11. This is the mellowest of alt-pop, lightly-toasted and gently challenging. Turn the lights off, put the candles on, pour yourself a generous glug of red wine, block everything else and just let your mind wander... ( previous post on Glyphs ) Small Sounds EP by Glyphs
Genre: Indie Pop, Singer-Songwriter One year ago, we had the Coldair debut on the desk. So here is the follower of Persephone. Far South stilkl breath the spirit of early Akron/Family and The Microphones. It starts with an ambient like, epic piece of swirling guitars and distant voices and blends to a warm pop song with horns and a driving bass drum which rub on the thick soundscapes from the [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website ]
![[Introducing] – Young Yeller](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3827837_lg.jpg)
Tweet Brooklyn's Young Yeller is the solo project of trained classical percussionist Jesse Brickel. His debut EP "Make Me" (released September 7th) displays a sophisticated soundscape conjuring soaring heart-on-your-sleeve prog pop one minute, the next getting back to basics with ambient get-up-and-dance joy. Young Yeller excels at crafting epic bedroom dream pop. "Make Me" rests nicely between the sublime orchestral chaos found in the more upbeat moments of Sufjan Stevens , and the blissful power pop of Mates [...]
