The Big Steal: Evan Williams Nights

Valerie
Evan Williams Nights is the debut compilation for Middle England band, The Big Steal. The entire album is self-produced and was written over a certain period when the artist was calling Virginia his home. Comprising of songs that tackle various topics like "running, self-loathing and the magic of American lawn games;" the album is a 10-track record that has its merits. With carefree alternative pop punk tracks, you'll find the album good company for days you just want to lounge around and enjoy the sun.

Ben Lear: Lillian: A Folk Opera

Monica
Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter and composer Ben Lear brews some fresh folk tunes in his debut album, Lillian: A Folk Opera. Released las June 14, 2011, this 14-track collection was described by the Los Angeles Times as "an edgy, experimental folk opera blending acoustic guitar songs with percussive chamber and orchestral music". The album kicks off with a 55-second opening track that technically sets the chill-out ambient mood of the collection. Title track Lillian follows with saccharine guitar play ups and poetic verses that are hard not to fall in love with. Ben's simple delivery blends well with the subtle build up violin solos and steady drum beats.

The Jesse Minute: Shut Up and Play

Valerie
Describing themselves as a "female fronted 5 piece pop punk killing machine with nothing to lose" seems quite accurate. The Jesse Minute is a band that loves throbbing energy and some fun punk hooks. Shut Up and Play was released two years ago in 2010 but it's still an album that'll get punk fans excited. Throwing catchy hooks, jangly guitars and sweet female vocals in the fray, the band makes it hard not to bob up and down as you listen to each track. Perfect for some basement party you're throwing or if you simply want to get in touch with your pop punk roots.

Wood Spider: Tending Fires

Valerie
Tending Fires is a simple but engaging compilation that's filled with lo-fi acoustic recordings from a four piece crew that call themselves, Wood Spider. Playing a host of acoustic, punk, freak folk, the album is perfect for those midnight campfires in the middle of nowhere and moon-filled camp reveries with the guitar and friends. Their sound brings to mind Gogol Bordello with the wailing/screaming vocals of Max Bemis of Say Anything. This is actually a split EP with Niko and the Juggler Meadow Family Band. It's a little over a year old and licensed under a Creative Commons License.

Superpoze: The Iceland Sound EP

Valerie
Twenty year old French instrumentalist, Superpoze is making his second appearance here in the Frostclick blog. His previous album, Lost Cosmonaut, introduced us to his brand of downtempo hip hop inspired tracks. The Iceland Sound EP is his latest effort and it's as exciting as his previous releases. His resident sound is still present. Although this time, he incorporates a more laid-back, chillout style that's both soothing as well as hypnotic.
