The excellent Soliti record label, based in Helsinki, has turned two. They celebrate with "Odds, Sods and Found Sounds", an eight track complication. I am a fan of Big Wave Riders and Cats on Fire , so it's nice to hear demos.

Hello, and welcome to another exciting week of Robot Music. Have you ever wondered what indie trap may sound like? Well, it just so happens I have some for you here today. Let me introduce Joe Becic and "Hollow Scene". As you may have guessed, it is the trap version of Bon Iver's "Holocene". Now, you may expect some huge car-shaking bass, but Becic feeds off the style of the original and gives presents a whole new perspective on trap. Before you get to that song you'll have to pass through FΔUXE who brings [...]

the xx - fiction my fave song from what turned out to be an underwhelming album by the xx, but months later, this track is still a beautiful reminder of how great this band can be when they get all the ingredients alined. http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

Although they've only released a handful of tracks to date, "future-pop" duo AlunaGeorge are already creating a huge stir in the music world. They're already booking huge venues, including Philly's Made in America Festival at the end of August. In the meantime, AlunaGeorge just released a new video for their single, "You Know You Like It." The music video features the duo in an empty pool with a gang of strangely dressed dancers. While the song is reminiscent of 90s R&B pop, it features minimal electronic instrumentation more like dupstep and modern house. Check out the video below [...]

Every once and a while you find yourself thinking about an artist as a real person. Imagine that?! Sometimes we find ourselves fans of the "artist" and we focus on the music and how it makes us feel and how it affects us and...us. Now, unless you actually know an artist in real life you don't necessarily tend to think of them as a person...they are an artist first and then the rest is a bonus if you are a big fan and superfluous if you aren't. This isn't a bad thing done by bad people, it is [...]
WAY YES began in 2010 in Columbus, Ohio as the musical collaboration of Glenn D. Davis Sr and Travis M. Hall Sr with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Maxwell N. Lewis Sr, and percussionist Timothy W.H. Horak Sr. After releasing 7 inches (Oranjudio) and an Extended-Player (Walkability) on Lefse Records, Way Yes self-released their debut Long-Player, Tog Pebbles a month ago on May 7th, 2013. We thought you may enjoy their track listing for Tog Pebbles with the titles of the songs replaced by thematic summaries: 1. dead mom; 2. shitty job; 3. fear of abandonment; 4. [...]
Viewed the press release about new 'hotly tipped trio' Sisters and their debut single Clearhead with some scepticism. "Dreamgrunge" - pah! We were wrong. Totally wrong. This one more than lives up to the hype. A wonderfully fuzzy, breezy up-tempo summer jam that proves (when it is done well) that there is still a place for classic indie-pop made up of jangly guitars, sweet harmonies and sugar-rush rhythms. One listen can't help but put a great big stupid smile on your face - sceptical or not. [...]

Mér barst til eyrna nokkuð áhugaverð plata með breska listamanninum Zoon van snooK sem nefnist The Bridge Between Life & Death en á henni er að finna fíngerða raftónlist með folk" áhrifum eða folktronica" eins og stefnan er oft nefnd. Hljóðin (sömplin) sem heyra má á plötunni eru að miklu leiti tekin upp hér á landi en einnig koma fram á plötunni íslenskir listamenn, nánar tiltekið Amiina , Benni Hemm Hemm og Sin Fang . Einnig munu liðsmenn múm hafa lagt til remix fyrir aðra smáskífu plötunnar. Sjálfur segir Zoon [...]

Following up his OWSLA release Ammunition pt 3 , Alex Metric 's new track ' Safe With You ' was premiered by Pete Tong on Radio 1 Tonight. A collab with Jacques Lu Cont and singer simply named Malin. I'm very surprised by the more commercial sounds but listening again and again, it strikes me that this is like SHM gone indie, the good kind. It's a big summer tune, and it will be released as both radio and dub rip. Nice one.

We have been long standing admirers of the sibling duo Brad and Jessica Lauretti who have released a couple of albums and toured pretty relentlessly as This Frontier Needs Heroes. They have a new album due in late August, Hooky benefits from the clever use of additional band members to bring an added dimension to their already sweetly rich harmonies. The taster track is the intriguingly named George Clooney, which is a simply gorgeous piece of contemporary Americana that we have pretty much on repeat... " I woke up so [...]

Dietro la parete impenetrabile di distorsioni in feedback e l’apparente monoliticità si cela un lavoro dagli spunti più inattesi, che prendono l’avvio da un suono pencolante tra un indie noise grunge molto’90; lo shoegazing pop dei Jesus And Mary Chain filtrato, di conseguenza, attraverso l’osessività kraut nell’insistenza sui riff ripetuti in loop infiniti; istinti da wave albionica nell’impostazione vocale da Robert Smith etilico ( I Want Someone Else o Killuhs , poi, ancora, in titrata Faust / Neu ); il post di marca Fugazi ( Switch ) e certe bianchissime derive [...]

I'm trying desperately here to catch up with all the fantastic music I had in mind to present here on Meadowmusic. Here's a band I haven't written about before: Syket and their new album "Can You Keep a Secret?". Help yourself to two great songs from the record. Sykets site - on Facebook - on Spotify - on Wimp - on Rara

San Antonio's Hacienda have created their own adaptation of melodically charged indie rock. Blending glorious harmonies with a base fortified in Tex-mex rock, you will find yourself singing along to their songs in no time. With the release of their latest record Shakedown , AMBY caught up with Hacienda to chat all about what they've been up to, copious amounts of Netflixing, how they're "from the future", and of course, Shakedown ! AMBY: Hello Hacienda! Thanks for having a chat with AMBY, what have you been up to lately? [...]
