Pillar Point is the super synthy new project of Scott Reitherman, who’s thus far been primarily known as the mastermind behind indie darlings Throw Me the Statue. At first listen, Pillar Point sounds decidedly more pop than that project, but that’s slightly deceiving because, wrapped up in all of that glorious synth, is a considerable…

A lot of “EDM” artists try to sound both current and retro at the same time and fail miserably. Disclosure is quite good at this, but we can’t recall any other artist in recent memory who have pulled it off quite so well. Until now. “Trippin” by Studio Tan, featuring the vocal talents of Lauren…

If you like trip-hop and/or electronic music in general then chances are you’ve already heard the music of Davidge (full name: Neil Davidge), being that he has collaborated with none other than trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack for well over a decade now. Working closely with Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja (3D) in both a co-writing…

We’re really into this electro-pop-rock hybrid right now… It’s damn catchy and it gets better and better each time you listen to it! PRESS RELEASE: Stone Cold Fox is an Indie Rock Band from Brooklyn, New York. Comprised of members from California to Maine, the band’s inception was a fairy tale that only Brooklyn could write. With…

One of our favorite singer/songwriters is the brilliant Charlotte Martin. She’s easily one of the most under-rated artists on the planet. She should at least be as famous as St. Vincent and Jenny Lewis. (Her music is like a cross between those two artists.) Everything she does is incredible from her albums to her singles…

When Brian Burton, otherwise known as Danger Mouse, and James Mercer, the vocalist of The Shins, first joined forces as Broken Bells in 2010, nobody quite knew what to expect. But plenty of people were curious, hence their self-titled debut popping up in the Billboard Top 10 the week of its release. At the time,…

The Pierces are probably best known for their song “Secret,” which is the theme song for the show Pretty Little Liars. Mind you, they wrote the song a couple of years before the show’s producers discovered it and realized it would be the perfect theme song for the show, which they were obviously right about.…

We live in a time when music is veering off in lots of interesting new directions. New genres are being born right before our very eyes and old genres are shifting into new territory. Artists like Lorde, Banks and Haim are all breaking the old rules and getting lots of attention for it. Enter Ego…

When Phantogram’s debut album, Eyelid Movies, was released on the indie label Barsuk in 2009, I knew almost nothing about them. Just that they were a duo. I simply bought the album after reading a few positive reviews and hearing samples online. And I immediately fell in love with its quirky electronic music, which didn’t…

The Glitch Mob are an electronic music trio consisting of Edward “edIT” Ma, Justin Boreta and Josh “Ooah” Mayer. Their 2010 debut, Drink The Sea, did fairly well, giving them a rather large fanbase, especially in the EDM underground, and more than a handful of favorable reviews. Alas, it did not make a blip on…

Demoraliser are a metalcore band hailing from Grimsby, a seaport on the Humber Estuary in Lincolnshire, England. They were formed in 2010 and soon began releasing monstrous EPs that earned them heaps of praise, especially in the underground scene. The quality — and brutality — of these EPs, along with their reputation as a pulverizing…

If the name Nina Persson doesn’t ring a bell, I’m fairly certain that the sound of her voice would. She’s the front woman of both The Cardigans and A Camp, you see. Not sure who those bands are? Perhaps the name of The Cardigans’ most successful single will ring a bell: “Lovefool.” It was a…

People always seem to refer to Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings as a retro soul band. I wouldn’t disagree with that, but to my ears they’ve always sounded like quite the funk outfit, too. According to Wiki, “They are spearheads of a revivalist movement that aims to capture the essence of funk/soul music as it…
