Sunbeam Rd.: Turtles, Magnets, Animals EP

Monica
Get ready to pack your bags and sunnies as Turtles, Magnets, Animals EP pays homage to the season of sea, sand, and uneven tan lines. Pushing the boundaries of harmonic rock, this five-track collection is Sunbeam Rd.’s first official release. Hailing from the Bay Area, Sunbeam Rd. is a four-piece band that’s dedicated to create a sort of fuzzy trance in their melodic rock songs.

InstaSize

Mel
Instasize from Munkee Apps is a free companion app for Instagram, and with it you can post images on Instagram without cropping them. Unlike other apps for Instagram, the quality isn’t diminished when you use this. It’s easy to use, and even non-techies won’t have problems with it.

Naomi Wachira: Naomi Wachira

Jack
“Art is born from tension. And this tension is something that Seattle folk singer and songwriter Naomi Wachira feels every day as an African living in America.” This is how the up-and-coming singer’s bio reads (from her official website), and amazingly, the tension transcends beautifully to her 4-track sampler, now available from Noisetrade.

2048

Mel
2048 from Ketchapp is an iPad and iPhone game that should be familiar to anyone who’s played Threes. The basic idea here is to swipe your screen up and down, left and right until the numbers are 2048. The objective of the game seems easy enough but it’s a lot more challenging than you think.

Tara Priya: Tara Priya

Jack
Don’t be fooled by her sweet persona and her playfulness, because Tara Priya is so much more than that. The London bureau of BBC calls her voice something that “you just need to hear,” and why not? Tara is half-Persian, half-Indian, and all soul. The California-based songstress has been listening to ’60s pop ever since she was a tot. Priya cites Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Etta James, and even Tupac Shakur as some of her influences, which probably resulted in the diverse yet accessible brand of music that she currently possesses.
