Radiator Hospital: Torch Song

Weng
The term DIY is a word that has been thrown a lot to describe a myriad of things – home improvement projects, clothing, and even in music. However, some bands confuse DIY with “we-made-this-album-ourselves-which-is-why-it-sounds-like-crap”. But not Radiator Hospital. Their second album, Torch Song is a polished 15-track output from this awesome Philadelphia band.

Carlos Castaño: Permanence City Light Soundtrack

June Javelosa
Singer/songwriters have a penchant for writing about love, ad nasuem— But Carlos Castaño, a Filipino musician, armed with his acoustic-guitar-of-emotional-distress breathes new life into the subject with his vulnerability; combining crowd-pleasing beats with clever wordplay and an introspective take on what is evidently, his preferred subject matter.

Luzius Stone: Electric Dreams

June Javelosa
It’s hard for musicians these days to deliver their musical offerings in that seamless way that just makes a song click with its listeners—particularly when their flavor follows that pleasingly off-kilter vibe that electronic indie artists have a penchant for. But with Luzius Stone’s 2014 album, Electric Dream, the independent electronica musician seems to have hit the stride right, offering up a collection of songs that stays true to its genre’s quirky neon beats but still anchored on a crowd-pleasing pop chug and punctuated by haunting melodies.
