JoSefina: Silhouettes

Jack
As if the world didn’t have enough sadcore acts, another one comes trailing. Bruna Cardoso, calling herself professionally as JoSefina, takes a stab at the industry with her debut EP, Silhouettes, which she releases independently at Bandcamp. Sure, the tracks as a raw as they can be, but the spirit and brevity is there, showing all of us that in due time, this girl’s going to have her place in the sun (or our iPods, in that matter).

Kingfishers Catch Fire: Discoveries

Jack
A Brit band is sharing their unique “discoveries” with us. Tristan Irvine, Marcus Mozley, William Robertson, and Darran Paul Smith, also known as Kingfishers Catch Fire, compose an indie-slash-alternative folk band hailing from London. They’ve already won fans with their breakthrough 2012 EP, Ballerina, and the momentum continues as new music pours in next month.

Fanfarlo: The Sea

Jack
The sea serves as an inspiration to so many wonderful things, including Fanfarlo‘s recent EP. This London-based indie alternative band released The Sea last October 2013, and the quintet describes it as “science fiction” concept project, where the songs are said to be a discussion about the possible origins of humanity and the direction we are all heading for in the future. Moreover, the group describes it as “Space Opera” meets “Spaghetti Western.” [Hmm, interesting.]

Deadwall: Bukimi no Tani

Monica
The wait is finally over for Deadwall fans as the band’s second release, Bukimi no Tani, is up for grabs. The UK, Leeds group formed in early 2012, where they released their first EP but later disbanded. After regrouping, the four-piece crew returns to the music scene with a fresh set of songs that, as they put it, “treads that well worn line of beauty and brutality.”

Juleah: Entangled And Entwined

Jack
Ever heard of a record that’s gorgeously enchanting and calming? That’s how we feel about Juleah‘s third entry into the psychedelic rock canon: Entangled and Entwined. Compared by NME Radar to “the wavering vocals and instrumentation of Mazzy Star” and the “anthemic drive of Ride”, Austrian Julia Hummer successfully marries the much-hyped shoegaze genre and folk rock in dreamy ways we didn’t expect.

Save The Arcadian: How’d They Get Up There?

Monica
Tired of office chitchat? How about giving yourself a quick “me” time and listen to How’d They Get Up There? by Save The Arcadian. Boasting with a ten-track spread, the Fredericksburg-based band of Will McCarry, Sam Ridgers, Russel Michelson, Jake Dellinger, and Bryan Chase offers some lovely pop tunes that will surely enliven that weary soul.

A Treehouse Wait: A Treehouse Wait

Jack
Climb up the treehouse and wait for the melodies to come pouring forth. An exaggeration, but that’s how listening to A Treehouse Wait‘s self-titled EP precisely feels and sounds like. Jenny Wahlström and her peers bring their amazing brand of indie pop from Stockholm to our ears — music that’s at par with the likes of Bon Iver and The Weepies.

We Shot The Moon: Love On

Jack
When was the last time you listened to a simple pop-rock record? Amidst a musical landscape that has acts continuously trying to sound sophisticated, Jonathan Jones keeps things fairly basic and straightforward. He culls inspiration from the late 00′s big names (Coldplay, The Fray, and Jimmy Eat World) to create music that’s as radio-friendly as its easily likeable.
