Let's have a glance at our SoundCoud dropbox to see who's dropped by and left traces. I don't have to tell you that you can send us your music through our SoundCloud page that is right there in our Contact page . First stop, let's hear these two precious but simple tunes from a Swedish one-man ...

You may be familiar with Chris Cunningham if you’re an avid fan of 90s haunting music videos such as Aphex Twin’s “Come To Daddy” and “Windowlicker”, Portishead’s “Only You” and Madonna’s “Frozen”. And by mentioning Portishead you remember Geoff Barrow, right? Beth Gibbons has not let him see ...

My friend Yashar recently attended Grizzly Bear and St. Vincent's gig in Stockholm and while I'm still stuck inside the country of no music, he could be a great photographer for the blog. Yashar is a boy of style and color with facials resembling Mark Everett (Eels) and the guy has a delicious ...

Jason Ward ’s music has taken its melancholic cologne from 90s alt-rock/grunge pioneers with likes of Radiohead and Soundgarden, though on his latest album Almighty Row , he opts for a quieter corner and therefore refuses to be a prog nor grunge noise-machine but serves us well sounding like a ...

Abjeez’ emerge in Persian underground music was quite phenomenal. In the era when femme-charm is almost six feet under and there’s almost no female voice rhyming or chanting in harmony in the country’s biased but desperate public media, the Safavi sisters (Safoura and Melody) - pretty much ...

UK arena in 09 was the centerpiece to some valiant femme-charmed electro-pop with likes of Bat For Lashes, La Roux, Little Boots and of course Florence + the Machine (the recording name of Florence Welch). Her album Lungs was nominated this year for a Mercury Prize and all in all London, just ...

Take a triangle walk in the midst of the gloomy horror-show woods of Karin Dreijer Andersson a.k.a. The better half of The Knife a.k.a. Fever Ray. We already discussed her debut eponymous solo before so let's just have fun being terrified once more with a video for the 4th track on that dreaded ...

Let's take a glimpse at some of the few-months-old releases that we didn't find time enough to write about them. Scroll a bit lower to get your tunes: It would be too unfair to dismiss Avett Brothers new album I And Love And You this early in the game, but the reason I have forgotten about them ...

Case Study #1. Zach De La Rocha quits Rage Against the Machine, so what's left of the band hires the velvet-lung then-retired and intensely confused Soundgarden songmeister Chris Cornell to form Audioslave. result A short-lived but dazzling Super-gasoline-group to define hard rock in the oos ...

The 5th official This Winki’s mixtape is a juicy selection of 10 tracks from the talented yet-to-be-discovered artists who have shared their art through our blog and we have spent time writing about them instead (the least we could do). Some raw, unedited and noisy and some pretty much ...

Although I was moved by the cover art (due to my zest in simple killer designs), I overlooked the eponymous debut from Telekinesis! simply by the sheer tag of “a Death Cab rip-off junk band” and it became even more hazy when I figured it’s an indie bedroom record by one man i.e. Michael ...

Allegedly our freak-folk super star who can write songs about marrying little boys, becoming a seahorse, having Chinese children and Korean dog food, pretty much enjoyed his last year’s surf-friendly collaboration on Megapuss . Surf-friendly I said, this may seem pretty reasonable for Devendra ...

It's been 20 years since the release of the classic college rock Pixies album Doolittle . And the band would love you to have a 4 song live EP just by filling out a simple form. The 21MB 320kbps EP is surely worth giving a try when you see Black Francis and friends firmly in form. To have the ...
