Wotienke: Please Read This For Me

Monica
Emerging from the gloomy smoky bar aesthetic, Wotienke's latest release Please Read This For Me lavishes on casual jazzy pop tracks that are pleasant to the ears. The Netherlands-based band was formed by piano singer Wotienke Vemeer when she met four musicians (Karel Cinibuk, Jan Boroš, Ond?ej Adámek and Martin Janírek) in an eastern village in the Czech Republic. Five years later, the musical group have already toured through half of Europe and recorded their full-length album Mainland Sailors.

Carloman: Carloman

Valerie
Occasionally it's good to branch out and listen to different types of music. My little branching out came in the form of Carloman. They describe their sound as pre-Baroque, medieval folk music. Indeed, when you listen to the record, you could feel as if you're gracing King Arthur's court or simply trapped somewhere in the 19th century with kings and queens. Carloman is actually two people, namely Dominic Matar & Elliot Thompson. They're currently based in New York City and this dreamy, other-wordly compilation is their debut record.

Joanna Gruesome EP – indie noise goodness with a touch of the 90s

Valerie
If you're expecting something loud and chaotic from this group, then you're in luck. Joanna Gruesome may not be as "gruesome" as their adopted moniker but they certainly know how to be loud, energetic, sweet and unpredictable. Describing themselves as having a "twee" sound, the group knows how to infuse their oftentimes chaotic ensembles with some beautiful and sweet pop music. This Cardiff crew has a knack for making lofi indie basement rock sound so good. This EP is a few years old since it was released back in 2003, but it still shines like new and fits perfectly with today's music.

Chasing Mars: EP

Monica
There's a new comer in cool indie camp and it seems like their ready to stay for a while. Just like it's galactic-sounding name, Chasing Mars' new EP offers an out-of-this-world musical experience in rich proportions. Hailing from Chicago, the band is composed of Neven Armic, Sean Goes, Sam Brown and Justin Schmidt. Describing their sound as the bastard love child of The Flaming Lips, Radiohead and Coldplay, this independent group will conveniently fill any electro-rock void.

Valerie
Listening to Summertime's End will make you think of sweet and feel-good moments where you just lounge and simply love life. Light And Colour is a beautiful compilation made up of candy coated pop that makes you want to just bathe in sunshine and enjoy. The young musician behind the sound is 19-year old Daniel Throssell. Using pianos, guitars and with the help of his mates, he creates dreamy indie pop music that's perfect for anyone with some serious love for the genre. Quite perfect for anybody who loves Owl City or Relient K.
