Kori: Nightgame

Valerie
Israel-born singer/songwriter Kori is a self-taught musician who enjoys experimenting between genres of rock, indie and pop music. Moreover, the artist also dabbles in photography and painting on the side. Nightgame is among his latest release. Like his previous records, he plays all of the instruments by himself. There�s a couple of genres he explores in the record but mostly his sound echoes a brooding alternative rock sound. He couples it with deep, almost one-tone vocals that add a darker mood to the tracks.

Young Men: Songs of Praise

Valerie
With their droned out indie rock, you can almost tell that these guys are from Chicago. It seems there's a strong urge for retro style lofi rock in the area and Young Men are definitely on the bandwagon. Songs of Praise is a 10-track debut compilation for duo T Smith and Drew B. Having formed just back in 2010, the crew are still in their early stages but their sound already rings with a nice sound. Recorded in their home studio, Young Men is a great group to watch out for.

Jacke Karashae: The Places I Go

Valerie
The Places I Go may not sound as polished as you would expect but it's clear that the passion and heart for music is there. The young musician behind this record, Jack Karashae is "an independent recording artist who loves the intricacies of multigenre music, is the Mad Scientist of Music." This 10-track record might be a bit unpolished in places but it contains upbeat energy as well as an interesting mash-up of genres. From piano ballads to indie pop and occasionally, heavy rock; the album bears nice little surprises here and there.
