Juleah: Entangled And Entwined

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.

A Treehouse Wait: A Treehouse Wait

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.

Graham Wright: The Lakes Of Alberta

From the lakes of Alberta, comes a one-of-a-kind EP that’s set to warm our hearts on a season colder than your average heartbreak. The EP in question is the aptly titled The Lakes of Alberta, which harkens back to the Canadian roots of singer Graham Wright. A musician and a broadcaster who’s also part of the Tokyo Police Club, Wright proves that he’s alright by himself in this 2008 collection.

Stray Dogg: Fires Never Wrong

Hang out by the pool and strut those tan lines while listening to Stray Dogg‘s Fire’s Never Wrong. This 2012 release from the band features nine tracks that jumps over fences of indie folk and Americana.

Audience of Actors: Love Like Thieves

Love Like Thieves is a 16-track album by the band called Audience of Actors. The musical styles of this band are reflected in this album ranging from alternative, indie folk, and rock. Someone’s Side of Forever is a track that is a perfect example of band’s low and morose vocals. This track is centered with heavy, melancholic guitars. Despite the obvious sadness of the tune, Someone’s Side of Forever showcase alternative indie folk at its finest.

Lindsay Katt: Picking Out Boxes

Combine Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor and you get the whimsical and fresh sound of Lindsay Katt. In her October 2013 release, Picking Out Boxes, the performance artist/musician/songwriter elicits some goosebumps by combining rich vocals, upbeat indie pop, and some heavy pensive songwriting.

Forth Wanderers: Mahogany

With a lot of indie bands popping up, listeners are presented a variety of choice but somehow, most of them sound a bit identical. But Forth Wanderers stands out from the indie block because of their ability to craft songs that swims beneath the surface.

Luke Gallant: Unplugged EP

Off we go to another EP filled with more relaxing acoustic tunes. Not much is said about Luke Gallant the musician — either Google won’t return our queries, or the search giant can’t pinpoint which one of the similarly-named dudes is the real one (or both). However, we’re sure of one thing: the one who’s crooning in this EP is a really talented guy.

Emmy Curl: Cherry Luna

One of our favorite artists, Emmy Curl, takes a fresh new approach to her impeccable music. It is always a pleasure to listen to someone who is not afraid of change, and Cherry Luna perfectly embodies the artist’s hunger to continually redesign her brand. This eight-track collection introduces an edgier, sharper Emmy Curl who dances in the middle of pulsing beats and eccentric instrumentation.
