Lindsay Katt: Happy Fits of Rage

Lindsay Katt returns to the FrostClick favorites with Happy Fits of Rage. Get ready for some goosebumps as the performance artist/musician/songwriter serenades your ears with an eclectic mix of upbeat melodies and core-driven lines. Released October 2013, Happy Fits of Rage was Katt’s first solid step to the music industry before Picking Out Boxes, which was also featured here.

Heaps n Heaps: Dancing on the Moon

Get lost on some stellar, layered melodies with Heaps n Heaps‘ Dancing on the Moon. Released last 13 November, this collection features four tracks for easy listening. Heaps n Heaps is lead by the duo of Alisa from Australia, Sydney and Zach from Salt Lake City, Utah. The group is currently based in Los Angeles, chasing their musical dream.

A Treehouse Wait: A Treehouse Wait

Climb up the treehouse and wait for the melodies to come pouring forth. An exaggeration, but that’s how listening to A Treehouse Wait‘s self-titled EP precisely feels and sounds like. Jenny Wahlström and her peers bring their amazing brand of indie pop from Stockholm to our ears — music that’s at par with the likes of Bon Iver and The Weepies.

Graham Wright: The Lakes Of Alberta

From the lakes of Alberta, comes a one-of-a-kind EP that’s set to warm our hearts on a season colder than your average heartbreak. The EP in question is the aptly titled The Lakes of Alberta, which harkens back to the Canadian roots of singer Graham Wright. A musician and a broadcaster who’s also part of the Tokyo Police Club, Wright proves that he’s alright by himself in this 2008 collection.

Matthew Reed: Come and Drink

If The Fray were to record a gospel collection, this would’ve been the outcome. Matthew Reed, a proud Christian and product of churches and worship teams on his teens, is poised to bring the message of God to everyone through a medium which instantly connects everyone: music.

We Shot The Moon: Love On

When was the last time you listened to a simple pop-rock record? Amidst a musical landscape that has acts continuously trying to sound sophisticated, Jonathan Jones keeps things fairly basic and straightforward. He culls inspiration from the late 00′s big names (Coldplay, The Fray, and Jimmy Eat World) to create music that’s as radio-friendly as its easily likeable.

Jamison Troy: Delusions of Grandeur

It’s hard to keep up with one’s “delusions of grandeur”, especially when it’s not set to music. Luckily, with this latest EP of the same name from Canadian Jamison Troy, we’re finally given some insight into the mind of someone who possesses these delusions, or lack thereof. However, Troy’s career is far from delusional, as he worked his way up from the previous decade — from a band member to full-fledged, self-supporting soloist.

Stacy Barthe: P.S. I Love You

Sometimes, the cure to a seemingly banal existence is a quick dose of infectious pop. This is exactly what newcomer Stacy Barthe [if you still count 2011 as new] is offering us. With her 2013 EP, P.S. I Love You, Barthe presents eight tunes of love — diversely presented for last year’s Valentines celebration — greatly puzzling us why we’ve never heard this promising talent before.
