teenagersintokyo might be sexy Australian robots from the future, but they‘re neither teenagers nor from Tokyo. Don’t trust these bands and their non-literal names. Did you know Foals aren’t baby horses and Mystery Jets are not airplanes, enigmatic or otherwise? Crazy. teenagersintokyo – Very Vampyr [mp3]

A collaboration between doom metal titan Justin K. Broadrick and avant-garde vocalist Jane Jarboe might sound like something you’d need a Wire subscription to enjoy, but the resulting album is gothic, Balearic and surprisingly accessible; a collection of queasy lullabies that induce uneasy dreams of white beaches scarred with molten black eyeliner. Jarboe & Justin [...]

Grovesnor writes synth pop jams that sound like neon-lit skyscrapers and looks like Ringo Starr in a flatcap. He also does a mean Robyn. We love this dude. Grovesnor – With Every Heartbeat [mp3]

We love Shoegaze. The word and the music. Any genre that unites bands through a collective lack of stage presence is alright with us. The people at Sonic Cathedral agree and have been spreading the good word. Their latest 7″ features the new kings of dreampop, Maps and M83, remixing each other. The results will [...]

Being simple-minded, we thought an eerie song that begins ‘here we go’ would be a great way to start the week. Now we’re not sure we thought it at all. We think Telepathe used their art school voodoo to make our brains do their bidding. They also want you to know that they’re playing Stag [...]
