I forgot how much I loved this guy. Dark atmospheric electronic music will always have a special place in my heart.

Odd Nosdam – Fat Hooks

Taking indie rock by storm yet again; +/- are back with their fun and dreamy album, Xs on Your Eyes.

+/- – Snowblind

“It took me years for these words,” Bound Stems lead vocalist Bobby Gallivan hollers, “years to admit I was RIGHT!” Probably one of my favorite songs of the year.

Bound Stems – Happens to Us All Otherwise

With his lazy acoustic melodies and relaxing vocals, Palenville, NY’s A.A. Bondy paints the upstate NY picture so well. Personally growing up in that region, I hear something familiar. It sounds like home.

A.A. Bondy – There’s a Reason

Wilderness – Strand The Test of Time

Indie pop never sounded so beautiful and loving. It didn’t take long for me to enjoy Deerhoof’s new album. If you listen you’ll understand why.

Deerhoof – Offend Maggie

Since Death From Above 1979 won’t be coming back anytime soon, we at least have ex-drummer/vocalist Sebastien Grainger to enjoy. More soulful and less insane than DFA79, it’s a nice addition to this lush year of new music.
