One of the blogs I frequent and trust with new music is Knox Road. There are a few people who, when posting new music, I'll always listen to because I trust their taste, and Knox Road is one of them. Last week they posted about I Am The Dot and before I got the chance to get in contact with the artist, the artist had got in touch with me. Making my life easier is always appreciated, although I still refuse to use those drive-through banks, that shit's taking it too far. Anyway, the guy behind I [...]
I Am The Dot is the project of Zach Tipton, from Georgia by way of Denver. He recently released a new EP, titled The Royal Few , which you can get on the major cheap (one dollar...) from his Bandcamp . Tipton has plenty of material under his I Am The Dot moniker, including five official releases, all displaying Tipton's expansive knowledge of pop arrangements, with layered harmonies, handclaps, and an array of instrumental noise. For the vocals, think Adam Baker of the Annuals . While The Royal Few [...]

I've really been looking forward to this, and it's adorable. The homie Zach Tipton aka I Am The Dot just finished editing his first music video for his tune "Love Song For Camus." I really love the tune and I'm so stoked that Zach put together something so charming that he can feel proud of. He's also booking shows for SXSW so if you're throwing any parties make sure to let him know! And make sure to download Zach's Rare Creatures EP and his Winter EP with Boneless for free right [...]
Boneless - Treetops ft. Zach Tipton An early preview of summer, maybe; but certainly the perfect sound to start your week off too - especially if it's your first day back at work in 2010. Next to nothing is known about Boneless (Isaac Knight) as yet, but he's from Nevada, has a Twitter feed and a release is due on the awesome Leftist Nautical Antiques sometime soon. This track is a collaboration with the equally good Zach Tipton (of I Am The Dot ). [...]

Zach Tipton, aka Denver's I Am The Dot , is posting a pay what you want EP for download/purchase/stream on his MySpace sometime next week with three new jams, "Double Vision," "Tunnel of Love," and "Struck." Keep an eye out. We posted some Dot pretty recently as a tune of the night , but if you missed it here are some insta-classics. I had a great walk home last night with these tunes, can't wait to hopefully catch Zach in Los Angeles in January. I Am The Dot - Detroit, Michigan [...]
Young Coyotes - Hell Is... 'Hell is other people', said monsieur Sartre - but it's a string of sleepless night that makes it a realisation. So the lyric: "hell, for me, is no sleep" is a sentiment I can wholeheartedly relate to. It's put to great use here in this whooping track from Young Coyotes' brand new EP, which singer Zach Tipton kindly popped into my mailbox recently. You can check the rest of the new material out at their MySpace . Photo by goddamnanalog
