DyE - Taki 183 [2011]


DyE is Juan De Guillebon, French electronic producer who makes pretty good minalist electronic beats that are, well, good to put it simply. You might have seen the fantasy video, maybe? The album as a whole is a really good experience. So, yes, GET ON IT.

A Lull - Confetti [2011]


Apparently I missed out on this gem. Everyone kept asking if I had heard it, I had not. So I got round to getting it, and well. I must say if you missed this gem, I suggest you fix that error.

From their last.fm because it does a better job describing than I could.
Chicago’s A Lull is nearly impossible to describe without qualifiers. Equal parts mystical and primal, the music crafted by these five multi-instrumentalists gathers the recognizable traits of a half dozen indie micro-genres, tosses out all but the stem cells, then adds the calculated, percussive verve of a half dozen rhythm sections on top of beautifully crafted songwriting to result in a sound that is as unique as it is memorable. A Lull blurs the lines between the synthesized and organic.

Michael Jordan - Summer Demos [2008]

 

This isn't the cover. I ahve no idea what the cover looks like. My friend sent me the link and I really enjoyed it. You may like it, may not, I don't know. I like it.

Devon Williams - Euphoria [2011]

 

Devon Williams performs a shimmering pop music that tempers sweetness and bliss with an honest, unguarded perspective. (Slumberland Records)
It's jingly jangly indie pop for all the family.

La Dispute - Wildlife [2011]

[post-hardcore/literary lyricism]

I'm not all that into post-hardcore, give or take a few bands. One of those bands is La Dispute who have released nothing but good. I posted their spoken word EPs before. The band aren't your typical scream, scream, cheesy, cheesy post-hardcore, but rather a talented potent group with emotional lyrics that aren't 'hurr she dun left me and now I'm alone'. La Dispute tell stories with their lyrics, and the do it well. So download this, give it a chance, don't be so fucking hipster.
