Stripmall Architecture is a fun husband and wife duo of Rebecca and Ryan Coseboom. These two have been making waves in the electronic music scene at the Bay area for quite awhile.
Combining entertaining electronic, 80s style synthesizer music, the album is like an 80s music compilation revamped and stamped with a modern touch.
Pale Houses‘ self-titled album paints remarkable aural landscapes, making plenty of room for a thrilling sonic performance. Released last July 30, this four-track set showcases the skills of Ryan Rayborn (drums), Aaron Robinson (vocals, guitar), Joshua Hood (guitar, lap steel), and Aaron Yung (bass, guitar). The album also features Patrick Dampier on synths and noise.
So we’ve been searching lately for some unadulterated indie stuff, and the awesome band Nail Salon comes up.
There are no adequate resources online regarding the band, other than well… their Bandcamp site, which is a shame since they sound undeniably unique. At this point, they should be ‘Googlable’ with all those greatness oozing! As of now though, what you have to take notice is their brilliant debut EP, entitled Radcity (7-Eleven).
Turn up the volume and bathe in tribal dance tunes with OKAPI SUN‘s self-titled debut release.
The group is named after the Okapia johnstoni, a giraffid artiodactyl mammal native to the Ituri Rainforest which decorates itself with its different stripes to become one with its surrounding. Just like the said animal, OKAPI SUN’s sound is described as a cut and paste of their past, their present, and their own culture and soul.
To paraphrase Ned Stark’s prediction, “Wynter is coming.”
Wynter Gordon, that is. After releasing her debut album, the underrated gem With The Music I Die, in 2011, the singer-songwriter is currently busy with her Human Condition EP series, the first of which is last year’s Doleo.
Boasting a dynamism often missing these days, swelo‘s latest musical release titled Escalator Music is a curious amalgam of folk and modern musings.
Released last August 2013, the New Orleans-based band features a hefty 12-track collection that delivers a feel good musical experience.
Ever heard of a song that makes you go “ladada”? Try listening to the quirky stylings of ladada.
As a project of Baby Josy (we wonder if that’s his real name), he presents his self-titled second effort ladada – a beautiful mess of everything positive, lively, and brimming with phosphorescence under the umbrella term “soda pop”.
