Stellar Young: Everything at Once

Valerie
For a debut record, Stellar Young definitely places their best foot forward in Everything at Once. This indie alternative rock record might have traces of a bedroom recording but it's more than enough to satisfy the senses. Stellar Young (known before as The City Never Sleeps) are based out of Albany, NY. These boys aren't exactly new in the business, in fact they've managed to share the stage with the likes of Paramore and Badfish to name a few. After years of playing together, Everything at Once marks the boys' first studio album. From the sound of it, there's plenty of promise up ahead for this five piece crew.

The Laureates: Spells

Valerie
The Laureates began cultivating their sound as far back as 2005. Vocalist Chad Preston initially compiled a set of tracks for his lo-fi album but knew that it's more fun to have other people join him. By the time they released their self-titled EP, the now quartet have found a good sound. So far, they've released several singles and mini compilations while continuing to dazzle in their indie rock garage sound.

Grimes: Geidi Primes

Valerie
By now, plenty of people have caught the Grimes bug. This Canadian music maker didn't expect her first album to become so successful but it was and it was even critically praised by several music reviewers for its eccentricity and originality. Geidi Primes was released last 2010 and contains 11 tracks that range from folkish electro dub to just an overall weird soundscape. Majority of the tracks on the album including the title itself are based on Frank Herbert's best selling science fiction novel, Dune. Expect to find references at every turn as you listen to the record. It takes you on a mystical journey that transcends and pulls you out of Earth and into a beautiful world few would ever experience.

Schizo’d Bass: Free Juke Box

Valerie
Armed with an upright bass, Vincent Guerin turns up and creates unexpected, monstrous sounds. Most musicians who use the classical bass often let the tone and make of the instrument take center stage. However, with Schizo'd Bass, the instrument is subjected to different electrical devices that transform its already huge sound into something deep, mystical and at times terrifying noise. Weird and eclectic, the sound this monstrous bass creates isn't for everyone but it definitely shows the power of the age-old instrument in the hands of its master.
