Emmy Curl: Cherry Luna

One of our favorite artists, Emmy Curl, takes a fresh new approach to her impeccable music. It is always a pleasure to listen to someone who is not afraid of change, and Cherry Luna perfectly embodies the artist’s hunger to continually redesign her brand. This eight-track collection introduces an edgier, sharper Emmy Curl who dances in the middle of pulsing beats and eccentric instrumentation.

Jennifer Meade: Loveville

Big vocals? Check. Catchy beats? Check. Undeniable swag? Oh, that one won’t be forgotten. Upon hearing the first few notes of Jennifer Meade‘s EP, Loveville, you can quickly tell that this girl’s got the pipes to last her through a lifetime. A lifetime of entertaining us, that is.

Germany Germany: Star System

Calling all lo-fi electro pop lovers out there! Germany Germany‘s Star System is your next stop on your psychedelic journey. This EP released last July 2013 showcases nine impeccably good futurepop tracks to get your groove on. Germany Germany is Drew Harris, an electronic-artist-come-software-angineer from Victoria, Canada.

Lex Allen: Anonymous Vibes

It’s 2014, and you’ll be damned if you don’t put some soul onto those musical bones. Let newcomer Lex Allen treat you to a sonic ride of raw R&B with his latest EP, Anonymous Vibes. The 7-track collection, which might serve as his ode to contemporary greats such as John Legend, Justin Timberlake, and even Jason Mraz (lyrically), is set to awe, inspire, and swoon.

Nvmeri: From The Dust

Who knew that the skirmishes of Eastern Europe could produce some of the most amazing Western music we’ll ever hear? This is the story of Slovakian band Nvmeri (pronounce it as “numeri”; formerly known as The Uniques), a trio making a ruckus on the European synth-pop scene through perfectly calculated beats that’s just as pop as it is very, very indie.

Tiger Choir: Unicycles

They might not “roar” but this group of tigers is still a killer act to follow. Without hesitation, we’d like to introduce you to Hobart-based (that’s in Australia) quartet Tiger Choir. Just like a choir should, expect solid harmonies to dominate their songs, as is in their latest release, Unicycles.
