Mosh: Monarchy

Monica
I’ll just cut to the chase and tell you without any hesitation that Monarchy may just be the most grandiose electronic dance album you’ve heard in a while. Released November last year, this eleven-track collection is Mosh‘s most accomplished full-length album. With the rise of the electronic genre, a lot of musicians equalizes “electronic” with “dub-step”, but Mosh veers away from the bandwagon making its own blend of hip-hop, electro, and punk sound.

Azure: Mint Condition

Monica
Take the chill pill and listen to Azure‘s May 2013 release titled Mint Condition. The Oakland-based rapper crafts a pleasant combination of hip hop, rap, and soul, which are sonically-related to each other.

William Hawkins: Counting On Forever

Jack
We’ve been on a slew of indie releases these past few weeks, and it just feels like we need a breather. But before that (hiatus), let us rave on how great William Hawkins‘ release is. Not much is known about him, since all Google returns is a myriad of unrelated searches, spanning personalities with the same name from the 70s to the present — none of which are helpful on pointing who’s the real one.

Moon/Ruin: Ocean

Jack
Want to go on a permanent haze? Try giving Moon/Ruin‘s lone EP a spin. Fronted by songwriter Kale Ogle, who’s incidentally the only member of the band, the collection Ocean is a formidable bag of tunes that’s set to keep you going on those hot, lazy nights.

Doylestown School of Rock: REVOLVER

Monica
Epic Albums: REVOLVER by the students from the Doylestown School of Rock is a collection of Beatles’ songs; an ambitious yet deserving EP full of suave urbane rock music. Knowing how Beatles’ made a legend out of their own talents, the songs they performed are truly worth reviving.

Jason Cohn: Closed Doors

Monica
Jason Cohn’s music is a cherry on top of a delectable and thirst-quenching ice cream. Closed Doors, which was released last July 2013 is mainly composed of acoustic folk songs written by the singer himself. The songwriting of Cohn emanates his love and passion for creating good music to inspire the people who are listening to them.

Jeremy Messersmith: The Reluctant Graveyard

Jack
Bored of the usual pumpkins and cadaver costumes? Jeremy Messersmith‘s music is here to spice up your Halloween celebrations! Okay, so we’re probably taking the title of his 2010 album (The Reluctant Graveyard) too literally, but its songs really do imbibe the graveyard theme — we kid you not — that’s enough to get you through the occasion.

Epilogues: The Cartographer

Jack
If you’ve had quite a day and just want to be taken adrift to some ‘far-away’ place, you better start listening to the Epilogues! This York-based (English) duo composed of Mikey Donnelly and Joey Donnelly continue on their mission to deliver their own brand of folk to the masses, after starting off last year.
