perfectmidnightworld : "The Fall" by Frankie Rose // Interstellar (2012) It's far too early in the year to tell anything of note, but if i had to choose the one album that's received more plays from me than any other, it's without a doubt, Interstellar by Frankie Rose . I've already done my fair share of hyping this wonderful new release, but I figured one more track on a slow day wouldn't hurt anyone. "The Fall" is the closing note of [...]
![[Introducing] – Granit](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4054137_lg.jpg)
Tweet It's been over two years since Beach House graced us with a new record. And while some simply wait anxiously for the successor to "Teen Dream" , I've found myself fully immersed in an EP over the past few weeks that's helping me through. The EP in question is a self-titled debut work by Granit , a female duo from my dad's native Barcelona. Cristina Checa and [...]
![[mp3] Wild Nothing // Nowhere](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4051965_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link Wild Nothing has a lot to live up to in 2012. At least for me, personally. Jack Tatum's debut full-length Gemini was my Album of the Year in 2010, and 20112s Golden Haze EP added another dimension to a blossoming career. We're two months into the new year and we've already received a tease of what Tatum has up his sleeve. The Nowhere 7" is slated for a February 21 drop date and contains two solid numbers that [...]

I was instantly attracted to dreampop of Edinburgh's The Machine Room . They collect all the elements of the early 90's shoegaze and dreampop and mix them with the revived synths and vocal styles of today. I can continue to gush about these four songs or you can just listen for yourself! Love from a Distance by The Machine Room
The Never Years Jamie Long's most recent dream pop shoe gaze project. Life of Dreams was re-released back in November and is considered to be up there with Washed Out's Within and Without LP. If you're into a nice blend of synths, guitars, and reverby vocals this is for you. Best for Sunday mornings, sunset drives, or gloomy afternoons. The Never Years - Two Words The Never Years - years remix (the sound of arrows) [...]
Hidden Shoal Recordings is excited to announce the release of the new freely downloadable single 'Sea Years' by garage-dreampop trio The Caseworker , taken from their acclaimed 2011 album Letters From The Coast . 'Sea Years' is the follow-up to first single 'National Runner', showcasing another side to the band's trademark guitar surge. The song's insistent motorik beat, levitating guitar jangle and Eimer Devlin's gorgeous airy vocals create a very special blend of dreamy, hypnotic pop minimalism. Light as a feather yet crammed full of gutsy guitar sounds, 'Sea Years' is another earworm from [...]
Photographer Osma Harvillahti has created a total of three short 8mm films for Regina 's Soita Mulle , including the swoon-worthy "Mustavalkeaa". This trio is still one of the most underrated bands on the planet.
As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of the German label Morr Music . I trust them so much that I KNOW that I will love their upcoming releases. I knew, just by reading Morr's description of their new signing FENSTER , that this was something I should look forward to. Quote: "FENSTER makes de-constructed pop music. Their lyrics are often carefully constructed dream narratives, finding inspiration in the world of ghosts, graveyards. trains, religious imagery, and broken machinery. In [...]

Romantic goth-pop songs reminiscent of Cocteau Twins as well as the darkest hours of Miguel Bosé. Faisanes is the name of their soon-to-come new album, and Peso ("Weight") is its [...]

Maribel will release their second LP "Reveries" in Japan tomorrow, Germany on Friday and Norway, UK and the EU on Monday February 13th. This is their new video, "You Bring the Sadness", featuring Emil Nikolaisen from Serena Maneesh. Lovely
You'll understand why there was a certain amount of trepidation when I saw the phrase "Midnight City cover" roll through the blogosphere this past week. After all, the crown jewel of M832s Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (our No. 1 album of 2011) was undeniably the adrenaline-soaked, saxophone-filled "Midnight City" (Sean's No. 1 song of 2011), [...]
It's crazy that we live in a world where stressed-out citydwellers will spend $20 to go sit on the hardwood floor of an incense-laden yoga studio while some new age fauxhemian with a banging bod guides them through The Best Meditation Practice Of All Time. Not saying we're not down with mindful awareness and peaceful reflection and all that- plenty of our respected idols practiced this sort of thing -but because, with the right soundtrack, you can achieve the same serenity in the comfort of your own home. And good news: the perfect soundtrack has arrived. One listen [...]
Chen and the Hoax - Flagg Staff A few years back when I was in my early teens, I was planning on saving up good money for a quality microphone. This was to go towards the recording of my world-class Franz Ferdinand cover album (which unfortunately never surfaced). Had I known that the USB mic that my Mum brought back one day from the Pound shop (or to our American readers, the 1 dollar (?) store) would have sufficed, I'd have taken up my chillwave project there and then. Chen and the Hoax [...]
Cincinnati's own Walk The Moon are releasing a new EP this very day! When I heard the news last week, I was pretty thrilled, and now that they've given a streamable taste of the Anna Sun EP in single "Next In Line," I'm downright salivating over the forthcoming sophomore full-length from Nicholas Petricca and co., [...]
2 Hearts and Chemicals lit up The Airliner like a pinwheel.
Grand Resort - Microscopic A typical trait of music bloggers is to envy every other artist they end up writing about. Not only is Andrés Pichardo not going to have to endure a hazardous walk into campus this morning, over a thin sheet of ice that's laced the pavements, he's also a 19 year old Massachusetts resident who has the fine art of producing escapist pop music down to a T. Forget the (quite magnificent) Madonna Superbowl routine, sometimes you just wanna see a scruffy kid [...]
La tentazione di cominciare questa recensione col solito pippone su come l'Italia, musicalmente parlando, sia messa peggio del Burundi è tanta, ma tanta veramente eh. E invece no, questa volta si metteranno da parte la pressoché totale mancanza di determinati sottogeneri nella scena indipendente italiana, la difficoltà con cui gruppi emergenti riescano a raggiungere buoni risultati o tantomeno la grottesca situazione dell'airplay nazionale, limitando al discorso all'ascesa di Mauro Remiddi , musicista romano con base a Londra al proprio debutto discografico su Secretly Canadian. I fondamentali da sapere su Remiddi sono le collaborazioni con gli [...]
City of Satellites wonderful remix album of late last year is still doing great things in the US college radio charts. Last weeks WRAS CMJ charts saw the album grab the number 4 spot amongst some fine company. The albumk features remixes by such wonderful artists as Manual (Jonas Munk), Syntaks, Tim Koch, Jatun, M-13, Tin Manzano and Slow Dancing Society. If you've not had the pleasure of wrapping your ears around Remixed yet then head to the Hidden Shoal Store and preview the album in full. [...]
