(Formerly known as "Music Goodies") The Indie Antechamber is a collection of music that Joe Wierzbicki (author) has on high rotation, finds interesting, or feels the need to express his thoughts to the web. The Antechamber is a refreshing take on new/upcoming/unknown artists and plans to become a unique source for music.
This is a another good electronic chill album that all you indie fanatics will love. From San Francisco, Robot Science has a sweet electronic hipster sound that should be blasted when soaking up those California sun rays. This album is name your own price, so all you cheapsters can buy it for 1 cent!
Now for something completely different. Alexandra Streliski is a pianist based in Montreal who release her first album several months ago. Her work evokes a simplistic piano style to create these light and melancholy songs. All of the songs are fairly captivating, and I wouldn't be surprised if her songs will be adapted in films later. This album is $10.53 USD and is available for download or physical CD.
Note to all: I found this gem instead of sleeping. The Boomjacks are Finland brother duo consisting of electic hip hop beats. Their newest creation named Beats vol. 3, a 17 track album, is free on their bandcamp page. They also have teamed up with Apollo's Sun to create a pretty sweet hip hop single. If you are a fan of Onra and Flying Lotus, then you should like these guys. Take a listen and chill.
If you liked Sufjan Stevens Age of Adz or any of St. Vincent's music, you will fall in love with Son Lux. Ryan Lott, a musician from New York, recorded this fantastic album in just the month of February, AKA the RPM challenge. Amazing what can result in just four weeks of writing and recording!
Been on a time crunch lately so my analysis of this album won't be as good as it should. I found this band a few months ago on accident and I have been obsessed with them ever since. The best analogy of their sound I could think of is like a mixture of The Black Keys, The Heavy, and The Faint (that analogy works best with their song Fever). If you don't have time to listen to the whole album, I'd recommend starting off with Dicey Street Blues, Gimme Some More or Nothing.
What better way to hear about Sufjan's new album then from a student at his former college (Duh, Hope College; Everyone's heard of it). Just when you though All Delighted People EP was kick ass, Mr. Stevens released this even better album shortly after. Let me describe it as eloquently as any college freshman would: this is dope stuff.
It's been a while since I've touched my blog, and lot of things have occurred during this hiatus. I stopped my summer job, started college and a new life, partied, studied, ate crap cafeteria food, etc. Only during one night of procrastinating on lab reports would I decide to finally rejuvenate my music blog with new posts. So on this night I give you...Magic Man. Actually I'm not sure if I had already mentioned this album before, but what the hell. I'm listening to it, it rocks, and best of all its a free download.
