NazcarNation: Dynazty EP

Valerie
NazcarNation isn't really a band about racing or anything like that, instead they're an electronic indie pop chillwave trio that creates pulsating and catchy tracks. Founded in 2008 by Chris Wargo and Craig Robert Smith, the band first started out back in LA. Drummer/multi-instrumentalist, Mark Balane, soon joined in and they ended up recording most of the tracks on the EP. Skillfully fusing hip hop, ambient, and electronica; theirs songs have a midtempo chill out beat that's easy on the ears.

Mathemagic: II

Valerie
Mathemagic likes to record fuzzy pop music that you'll most likely want to get lost in when you're having one of those challenging days. Their music is both hallucinatory and engaging, making you want to simply float away as you take in each strum of the distorted guitars or listen to the zoned-out vocals. II is the latest release from the dreampop Canadian trio. Despite being relative unknowns, they have produced a beautiful record filled with 11 tracks that mesmerize its audience from start to finish.

Goodmorning: Soul Monitor

Valerie
Goodmorning might seem like a forgettable name for a band/musician but the sound is definitely something that won't be easily forgotten. The person behind the music is actually just one-man, Eric Slyter. Soul Monitor is a side project for the singer since he's also a member of the band, Murakami. The album contains 11-tracks, some of which were songs he started recording back in November 2010. Combining a mix of bedroom pop, indie and alternative, his songs capture a sincerity and warmth listeners can easily enjoy.

Turn off your television

Valerie
Turn Off Your Television lives up to their name. Everytime you listen to their songs, they do want to make you turn off your television or simply tune out from all the hustle and bustle of your life to relax and enjoy some great quiet folk pop rock music. This Swedish trio's sound is everything you need if you find yourself stressed and want something to soothe your overworked nerves. What's even better is that the boys offer up 12 awesome tracks all for free. It's quite a treat considering that the entire album provides one great track after another.

Monica
Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Jonathan Dimmel not only writes music for himself but also plays in the band Satellites and Sirens. So what does Jonathan Dimmel have that separates him from his fellow indie rock and rollers? His songs are heavily inspired by rotations on many contemporaries that helps fill the void in the indie rock genre.

Nine Stories: Nine Stories LP

Monica
Nine Stories LP embraces pop acoustic music far more than most have ever dared. Being the brainchild of 80's born musician/composer Nacho Ruiz, the musical project is rooted in a pop acoustic sentimentality, but is certainly not limited by the form. By incorporating a plethora of instrumentations, Ruiz stretches his music in some very interesting directions.

Taryn Leia Prescott: The Micah Pact EP

Valerie
Simple yet captivating. That's one sentence that would best describe Taryn Leia Precott's sound. Her soulful voice is what captures the listeners attention while her skillful and melodic music creates a beautiful playground for her lyrics. The Micah Pact is a 7-track EP that the artist wrote over a period of years. It's a collection of tracks that expresses the artists' reaction as she grapples"with suffering, both my own and others’. Divorce, fatherlessness, loneliness, broken families, disease, poverty, untimely death...." The album is an answer of sorts and a way of understanding and coping as well.

From Indian Lakes: Songs From Indian Lakes

Valerie
From Indian Lakes brings to life the beautiful indie charm of Southern California in their music. Much like putting on an indie film soundtrack, Songs from Indian Lakes is brimming with one easy listening cut after another. The album contains three remixed and remastered singles from their previous album along with two tracks from their upcoming release. With carefully orchestrated compositions and solid instrument work, their songs flourish with personality that's difficult to deny a listen.
