Kira Velella: Daughter

Bask your soul in summer breeze and rain showers with Kira Velella‘s debut EP Daughter. Packed with six tracks, this sampler plate gives us a sneak peak to the New York-based singer/songwriter’s raw craftsmanship.

Glad Town Ghosts: Northwards Over Your Home (Single)

Technically, this entry from newcomer Glad Town Ghosts is not an EP but a single (with the traditional B-sides included), but it’s really amazing that we’re compelled to include it anyway. Recently signed with Massive Skull Records, the band is the brain fart of Dale Husband, with “occasional company” thrown in, as he says on his page. Regardless who he’s with, we absolutely think that his first release Northwards Over Your Home is a fantastic one.

Wynter Gordon: Doleo

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.

swelo: Escalator Music

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.

Emerald Park: Things EP

Take a stroll through the ‘emerald park’, where random ‘things’ abound, except for a dull time. Hailing from Malmö, Sweden, the guys and gal (only one) of Emerald Park surely know how to cook some infectious tunes.

Maja Olenderek Ensemble: EP

Like a jar brimming with different flavors, Maja Olenderek Ensemble‘s new self-titled EP is inspired by various genres—from theatrical ballads, gentle girlish blues, eccentric sounds, flamenco melodies, and jazz reggae.
