New Juvenile Juvenile: “Forget Me Soon”
I feel…because why write “I’ve noticed” when dealing with twee-ish music!…that there has been an upswing in solid indie-pop lately. To recap – after Kyoto’s Homecomings released their still-fantastic debut last year, things trailed off, with most of what emerged from indie-pop-verse leaning a bit closely to shoegazey, bad-sing songs. But recently…it has been picking…
Check Out A New Pop-Office Song And Video: “Wait For The Sun”
[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1-cnmcic8s”] Make Believe Melodies just spent five days in Washington D.C., watching a bunch of college football, drinking fancy beers and gorging on Swedish meatballs.

Sometimes an idea is so absurd it turns genius really fast. The Lasttrak…who mainly remix anime theme songs into, like, dub burners or EDM bruisers…take an extremely popular song from the trio King Cream Soda made for the cartoon Youkai Watch and mashes it up…with Daft Punk. It somehow works, and, honestly, to close out…
New Jemapur: EXEP
The producer behind the wonderful Young Juvenile Youth project has a new, easy going EP out called EXEP. The three-song set is a very mellow collection, kicking off with the skittery “Lucky Me,” which is built around some lovely vocal drones and drippy-droppy electronics, the whole thing having a bit of a pop (the beat)…
