left myself behind – TOY

February 21, 2012 Leave a comment

TOY is a Korg Delta led five-piece formed in 2010. It consists of Tom Dougall (Vox/Guitars), Dominic O’Dair (Guitars), Maxim Barron (Bass/Vox), Alejandra Diez (Synthesizers/Modulation) and Charlie Salvidge (Drums/Vox). TOY’s musical influences incorporate a wide range of genres including punk, psychedelia, krautrock, post rock to name a few and they explore experimental recording techniques in the studio.

With the majority of 2010 spent writing, TOY played their first show at the Cave Club in Islington earlier this year. Since then the band have played a string of live performances including Field Day and 1234 festivals and have supported bands such as The Horrors and The Pretty Things. Their first single – Left Myself Behind – is out now.

death scene – black twig

February 20, 2012 Leave a comment

there’s something about finland that we should find out. after french films, come black twig.
described, rightfully, as “Black Twig builds on the tradition of jangly, distorted rhythm music. The sound echoes of modern fuzzed out pop experiments as well as of 60s garage rock gems, sometimes developing a sensibility for hypnotic, repetitive drones.”

w u j – cave

the Chicago quartet, cave, is bringing back the motorik home. on the 3rd album, Neverendless, they wear their Neu! influences proudly, concocting a lethal mix of a heavier and groovier early-’70s art-rock with focus on rhythm and psychedelic fuzz.

convict – french films

December 23, 2011 Leave a comment

no, this has nothing to do with films made in france or in french. french films is possibly the most blogged indie act or any musical act out of finland by simply charming everyone with their punchy catchy indiepop.
convict is taken from their debut album, imaginary future. remember to get a hold of it coz it’s one of the best releases for 2011.

psychic driving – soft metals

taken from Soft Metals‘ self titled debut album on Captured Tracks.
it sure brings back the good old memories of the 80s minimal dark synthpop.

slow dance – hunt in pairs

December 4, 2011 Leave a comment

hunt in pairs are “A singer and a video artist driven with a passion for writing music at ridiculous hours in the morning..
A filmique landscape that is carried by the mellow groove of electronic beats”

picture images in your head made into a song….
