Here’s some sweet Scotland dreampop for your case-of-the-Mondays. The Machine Room’s latest EP Love From A Distance is a sweet reverb’d shoegaze gem with some killer vibes, due out March 5th. If you’re newdustin’ out in the UK, check them out at The Wee Red Bar @ Edinburgh College of Art, Saturday March 3rd.
I stumbled upon this gem, thanks to a friend of mine, today. Waterstrider is a sextet that hails from Berkeley, CA and creates chill, fluid, percussion led tracks. Back in August, the six-piece released its debut EP, Constellation, which you can listen to in its entirety below and purchase for $3-5 on the band’s Bandcamp. There, you can also download the record’s title track for free. An LP is supposedly in the works, so keep your eyes peeled. I know I am.
Best Friends hails from Chicago, and specializes in pop-dance gems. The production duo/band’s self-titled EP has been on repeat for days and some tracks have already made it on to my party/workout list. Check out the “video” for “So Far Away” above (my personal favorite off the EP), and the BANGER “Body Rock”. It is not hard to imagine Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, or even Katy Perry singing either of these songs. Grab Best Friends’ EP on iTunes (link here) and party down!

Great track from We’re No Heroes off their latest EP Quiet Colours. “Empty Beat” brings us these great “math-pop” instrumentals, in the same vein as Foals or Interpol, with an 80s post-punk vibe & a killer outro. Solid guitar work, precise drumming, & fantastic vocals dominate this 4-track EP. Definitely worth a listen.
Here’s a sweet little collection of lo-fi, sample-heavy beat tracks from Miró Belle, Kiss This (Vol. 01). The tunes are all fairly short and seem to end abruptly, so they seem more like unfinished ideas than full songs. That only seems to add to the character and charm of each song, and to my enjoyment in listening to this EP. Kiss This has got this funky 70’s groove behind each beat that is extremely fun to listen to! Here are my two favorites.

MADE IN HEIGHTS is NYC producer Sabzi from Blue Scholars paired with the lush vocal talents of Kelsey Bulkin. The duo teamed up to explore a new genre all of their own, namely mythical filth-pop. The dreamy post-modern R&B is cut from the same cloth as some of Lykke Li’s more minimal tracks, so take notice. APORIA: IN THESE STREETS is MADE IN HEIGHTS’ self-released second EP. Find it here while waiting for an upcoming new release, hopefully real soon.

New band out of Ottawa, Canada called Fevers. Cut from the same cloth as M83 and The Postal Service, the band does well by mixing electronic dance music with indie rock hooks. Download their EP “Passion Is Dead” here. Looking forward to hearing more from this band very soon. Enjoy!
