Babaganouj - Can't Stop
Strange band name but very catchy indie pop tune; Australia's Babaganouj take inspiration from bands like The Hummingbirds and The Hoodoo Gurus as well as the classic sound of Creation and Flying Nun Records. "Can't Stop", their latest single, combines boy-girl harmonies, lush melodies and '90s-style indie rock guitars to produce a fine, radio-friendly, pop tune.
Charlotte&Magon - Egg Dance
"Egg Dance" is the title track from the new four-song EP that Parisian duo Charlotte&Magon will release on March 3rd. Expect to hear psychedelic funky sounds that bring to mind the '80s new wave and electro hybrids concocted by bands like Tom Tom Club or Shriekback.
Drachenhaus - The Sunshine
"The Sunshine" is the latest track from Berlin-based post-industrial duo Drachenhaus. Radiohead's forays into electronic music have been an influence here as well as Yoko Ono ( the bridge of the song features a recitation of an event score from her conceptual artist’s book, "Grapefruit").
Nanaki - The Land Surveyor
One of the standout tracks from the album "
The Dying Light", the first full-length
Nanaki album since 2003. Instrumental, post-rock sounds from the solo project of
Postcode guitarist
Mikie Daugherty from the Isle of Man. Check out the video

Signal/// - An Eternal Recurrence
A taste from the "
Echo" EP, coming in March on
Handmade Records, by Oslo noisemakers
Signal///. The track is produced by
Ådne Meisfjord whose credits include
Serena-Maneesh and
120 Days. You can check out the video

Sillyboy - Stalker
Melodic electropop from Greece; "Stalker" is the title track off Sillyboy's third album, released on Klik Records at the end of 2014.
Mylets - Trembling Hands
"Trembling Hands", a track mixing Nine Inch Nails-influenced industrial rock with punk guitars is the most recent single taken from Mylets forthcoming album "Arizona", expected this April. Mylets is Henry Kohen who recently signed to Sargent House, home to the likes of Russian Circles, And So I Watch You From Afar, Chelsea Wolfe and more.
Blisses B - Well Lit Plan

Well Lit Plan" is one of the best tracks to be found on their third record "
Sea Level Astronomy", released last fall with support from their loyal fan base through a Kickstarter Campaign. You can find the album

Jourdan Myers - Wanderlust
Finale with the lovely voice of singer-songwriter
Jourdan Myers from Minneapolis. "
