Among The Bones‘ voluptuously monochromatic music unfolds with grave majesty, as bleak and bereft as funeral rain. They are also fans of limited edition chocolate bars and “swaggering clothes”. After the jump, Misha from the band tells us about his cool dad. Among The Bones – Under Earth And Soil [mp3] [Buy]

Maybe in the year 2510 archaeologists sifting through centuries of digital debris will chance upon a fossilised file partially tagged beach-youth and they will crank that jam and know that hundreds of years ago there were sunny days and good times. Dustin from Beach Fossils told us about minimalism and tea. Beach Fossils – Youth [...]

Jesse and Zinzi sound like a lost Salinger novel and look like The Cutest Couple In LA. They are Kisses, and the hypnotic, wistful disco of their debut single sets up an easy pun, because you really can lose yourself in Bermuda. We puckered up for Jesse who told us about frogs and monkeys. Kisses [...]

When the Tri Angle robots attack, clouds crash and the world cracks (it will happen!), this band’s negatively charged electro will be ringing in your ears. Nowa Huta – In Forest [...]

Our dude Dan likes to keep busy. He’s in Cough Cool, Nude Beach and now another new band, this time with the guys from Bananas Symphony. They are called Blackhawks, like the hockey team, and this first song is a kaleidoscopic cover of Spacemen 3. Expect Dan to start another seven awesome bands before the [...]

The lovely Emily Reo will release a cassette EP this summer called Witch Mtn. We assume she is a big Dwayne Johnson fan. Or maybe she is the little girl from the old Disney film, the one with paranormal powers who can unlock any door by touch, communicate with animals and transmit messages by ultrasonic [...]

Bitches ain’t shit but hos and tricks (and nutso, eye-gouging jerk rock). We missed this when it came out. Don’t make the same mistake. Bitches – Can Not Love [mp3] [Buy]

Dan Nixon who writes for the awesome 20 Jazz Funk Greats made this mesmeric video for Peepholes whose amazing single is out now on Hungry For Power, the label Nixon runs.

[Photo] Hot Horizons make their grand, breathlessly romantic pop in the strangest of places as Rory from the band explains. “We recorded this song recently with a friend of ours, Sam Eastgate [of Late Of The Pier] and spent half the time recording in this mad stairway which looked like it was stolen from the [...]

James Hoare from Veronica Falls has joined forces with a man whose name is an awesome sentence (Max Claps!) to make us wistfully stare out of windows regretting everything we’ve ever done while listening to their sweet SoCal melodies and sad, secretive songs. Their name might be a reference to all the material things that [...]
