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.

Box Story: Straight As The Rain EP

Valerie
Box Story is actually a solo project started by Laetitia Solimando, a singer and songwriter from Belgium. Initially venturing out with just an acoustic guitar, she decided to add some moody pop elements to her sound with the help of Lhoest Renaud. The sound evolved and she was soon joined by other musicians eventually forming a band and a darker, slightly more alternative sound. Straight As The Rain EP is the third release from this somber voiced artist. Her first album, The Only Thing I'll Keep came out in 2006. It was followed by, Hard Way, in 2009 and finally this third one. These three records also chronicle Laetitia's musical transformation throughout the years; leading up to this EP's dark and moody slight rock tone.

Palette Town: Life, Love, & Laser Guns

Valerie
Listening to Palette Town is like getting lost in a world where Pokemon's and quirky comic books come to life. Obviously influenced by anything and everything they fancy, their sound blends an exciting eclecticism while maintaining that childish, fun vibe. Life, Love & Laser Guns echo indie pop, garage rock and even a bit of disco dance influence. This is the latest compilation from the four piece Miami natives and it carries some great and catchy tunes worth checking out.

Diamond Youth: Don’t Lose Your Cool

Valerie
A remnant from the bygone era of 90s alternative pop rock, Diamond Youth would've have stood comfortably alongside bands like Jimmy Eat World. Don't Lose Your Cool rolls in with a bunch of catchy indie alternative tracks that resemble an awesome college radio playlist. You'd never guess it from their current sound but the members of the Baltimore crew came from hardcore bands, Trapped Under Ice and Down To Nothing. They're currently making waves with their brand of quieter yet catchy sound with this compilation.

His Statue Falls: Collisions Remixed

Valerie
His Statue Falls is a unique band in that they combine various genres to weed out their own characteristic sound. Mixing techno, screamo, pop and breakdowns; the German group dubbed their sound as "techcore." Music catches on fast and soon they were playing at more than 150 shows and other groups started to create a similar sound. Not to be deterred, the band pushed forward and continue to mold their music according to their taste. Collisions Remixed is based off their debut record and contains a spin off of some of their best tracks from the album.

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.
