Pet Milk: Philadelphia Punklife

Valerie
Formed in 2010, Pet Milk is a Pennsylvania band that's fairly new in the scene but it seems they already found a good niche. Philadephia Punklife is far from a punk EP instead it's filled with sweet pop rock that's fitted for some feel-good movie. It contains only four tracks but it does the trick if you're trying to decide whether this band will make it to your personal playlist.

High Pop: Hip Hip Hooray

Valerie
If your'e in the mood for some hazy, garage rock and saccharine pop, then High Pop is the band you should be listening to. After a successful run with their previous record, Hip Hip Hooray delivers the same sweet and intoxicating punk fuzz pop they've come to master. Treading this route the second time around has its benefits though, the band sounds more polished than ever and seem more comfortable with their chosen genre. Be prepared for track after track of energy filled, freaky indie rock mixed with a whole lot of sugary pop when you listen to this record.

The Oh Hellos: Through the Deep, Dark Valley

Valerie
If you need some cheerful music where you can sing along and simply be happy, take a listen to The Oh Hellos. Siblings, Tyler and Maggie Heath along with some friends, join together to create this remarkable indie folk, alternative concept album of sorts. According to the duo, the record is meant to be listened to straight; all of it in one sitting and enjoyed entirely. Through the Deep, Dark Valley is an 11-track album sprinkled with sweet and happy indie folk sounds. Although there are plenty of themes and subjects explored in the lyrics, most of it is about faith and God. Filled with charming tracks, it's an album that cleanses and refreshes.

Aaahh Records Presents The Braaahhlitz Compilation

Valerie
For the last two years, the Aaahh Record's crew gathered up several musicians and holed up in a small town called Bralitz (somewhere in Berlin.) With nothing but music, plenty of time and some fresh air, they've been creating wonderful music and have been churning them out in little compilations like this one. This Braaahhlitz Compilation is the result of last year's mini gathering. It's comprised of 8 tracks filled with guitars, flutes, a whole lot of handclaps and just simple music that makes your hearts flutter or gather up that book and curl up in the corner.

Val Emmich: Bulldozzzer

Valerie
For deep and raw acoustic music, it's hard to beat the moodiness of Val Emmich. This Jersey city native has released previous albums before and each one features a special touch. For Bulldozzzer, Emmich keeps his audience on their toes by delivering fresh yet subdued set of tracks that highlights his beautiful vocals and intimate songwriting. You can expect barely whispered singing fluttering over keyboards and guitars.

Derek Clegg: All Those Days To Feel Better

Valerie
When Derek Clegg makes an appearance here at the Frostclick blog, you can be sure that he definitely has something good in tow. Sure enough, his latest album, All Those Days To Feel Better is something to look forward to. Like his previous releases, this one is an indie acoustic folk affair that carries Clegg's laid back vocals and beautiful melodies. His guitar skills, vocal and lyrical work still take center stage like it always has.
