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.

Beat Culture: Tokyo Dreamer

Valerie
A fairly fresh ambient compilation that's already generating buzz among internet music fans; Beat Culture's Tokyo Dreamer is looking forward to a great year. The young musician behind the album is Korean born, USA based, Sunik Kim. He's fairly new in the musical playing field but he's definitely showing promise by expertly combining various synth sounds with careful pianos and pitched shift vocals. As a results, the album is a rich hodge podge of sound that reflects an electronic ambient feel along with a hint of shoegaze rock for those few.

Elcko: Out Of Order

Monica
Elcko's 2010 release, Out Of Order proves that ten years of experience and unpretentious rock n' roll can really make a difference. Hailing from France, the 4-piece band of Manel (back vocals), Cédric (drums), Julien (bass) and Alex (vocals/ guitars) offers a new kind of rock blending organic, electronic and metal. Silence is Over opens the gates to a subtle mix of sweet brit-pop and powerful rock. Alex passionately delivers this track and belts out in the right parts.
