Banquise

Valerie
Banquise is one of those groups that you wish you know more about. Playing a soft electro pop sound, the group is as much a mystery as they are a delight. There's hardly anything to be found online about them. Save for a sparse Facebook profile and a BandCamp page with nothing but just music and hardly any info, it's hard to find out more about this group. One thing that matters though is that their sound is delightful to listen to, with swirls of pianos, synths and a soft relaxing feel enveloped in between.

Glass Pear: Streets of love

Valerie
If you're a fan of shows like Grey's Anatomy, Bones, One Tree Hill or maybe Vampire Diaries, then chances are you might have heard of Glass Pear's music even without knowing it. It's an odd moniker but the project is actually spearheaded by London based singer/songwriter, Yestyn Griffiths. Crafting beautiful melodic, acoustic, pop music, it's no surprise that his songs are picked up as material for various TV shows and dramas. His sound is clear and easily translates great emotion to the listeners.

Daniel James: Comfortable Cage

Valerie
Inspired by indie favorites Bon Iver, Racounters, The Shins, Sufjan Stevens and Kings of Leon, among others; it's easy to make Daniel James your new favorite if you like the music of the artists mentioned. Comfortable Cage flits between blueesy rock one moment and then moody folk rock to the next, entertaining the audience all the way through. The album itself is a couple of years old and was recorded at "ma and pa's house before they destroyed my studio and built a bigger kitchen... " according to the artist.

Trotting Bear: Morning

Valerie
Trotting Bear's music should be synonymous to relaxing acoustic folk. The sound emanating from the beautiful guitars is enough to make you want to listen and just leave it playing for a good long while. The man behind the sound is Andy Berkhout, a singer songwriter who has had several albums and records released under his name. Trotting Bear is one of his side projects and serves as a short extension of his usual folk/Americana, lofi sound.
