Just got this song in my inbox and had to share it. Tommy Davidson, aka Dream Cop, is a Virginia Tech college student who began recording hazy hypnotic tunes in his bedroom. Basement Tapes is his first digital single, set to release late this summer on Output Noise Records. Until then, here’s “Marooned.” |

Superhumanoids are set to release one hell of a debut ep, Urgency, next week on Oh! Inverted World Records. These guys aren’t just a solid band with a solid ep under their belts, though. They’re also quite the remixers. Here’s an awesome remix they’ve done of Local Native’s “Who Knows, Who Cares.” collage art by: Jeffrey Meyer |

Given the growing amount of emerging and oh-so-good indie talents hailing from San Francisco today, there’s definitely something going on in the Bay Area, leading to successful sound experiments and daring melodies paired with unique voices. Voices inspired by a great range of intense emotions, from the purest joy to some kind of vintage nostalgia. Though not quite newcomers, with a 2008 self-released album, “Innocent Ghosts”, synth-pop band Geographer is no exception to the rule. Voted one of the three “undiscovered bands you need to hear now” by SPIN Magazine, Geographer turned our heads with their one-of-a-kind combination of Nintendo-like electronic melodies, cello, simple drums and Mike Deni’s beautiful and almost fragile voice. |
“Kites” is the first single from Geographer’s new EP Animal Shapes, which is available on iTunes and at Tricycle Records. This track has a radiant gracefulness and overall thrill that will be sure to light up your day. Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.

A month ago, the name “Vondelpark” used to refer to nothing but a trendy Amsterdam park where you can enjoy concerts and plays in the Summer. Well, though the most famous Vondelpark still is this adorable little Dutch spot, another one has blossomed, and it is rumored to come from London. Very little is known about this band yet, as they don’t seem to have any website or myspace. Which means no names, no schedule for any future releases, nothing but a few tracks scattered over the internet, all with the same nostalgic feel, eerie vocals and inviting dubstep beats, sometimes dark, often dreamy, and never failing to make you want to hear some more. |
“Jetlag Blue Version 22″ is one of these graceful, unexpected tracks that will keep you nodding along all Summer, the perfect soundtrack for bright, lazy days and starry nights, haunting you from the beach to city streets or, who knows, during a late afternoon stroll in Vondelpark, Amsterdam.

Don’t ask me why but for some reason I woke up this morning with Yello on my mind. “Who?” you ask yourself. Yello is the Swiss electronic duo responsible for the song accompanying Cameron Fry’s 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California. Oh yeah. Still confused? Than you’re probably not a product of the ’80s. I’ve done us all a favor and spent the last 2 hours sorting out all of their songs not worth listening to twice…or even once all the way through for that matter. Out of all the songs I listened to, I enjoyed their more mellowed out tunes the most. Here are two of them, “Distant Mirror” from their 1999 Motion Picture, and “To The Sea” feat. great vocals from Stina Nordenstam off their 1997 Pocket Universe. |
