It’s official – my new favourite genre is Ben Wagner’s own creation – Dream-Hop, the technocoloured area between hip-hop and dream-pop. His side project, Teen Spirits, evolves from his main moniker Hooray! which he also has recently released a new EP Puddles for free download (yes, free). In ‘

Aquarium Drunkard pays for the limo, arranges the tux and pops the cork on Television’s second album from 1978 - Adventure. The blog turned home grown independent record label gathered the cream of LaLa lands current musical talent (plus Lykke Li) and got them to pay tribute with covers to the NYC punks. Enter

Island shores plucking guitar work with underindulgent electro percussion covered lightly with low register, soft, breathy vocals – think Postal Service meets Jack Johnson. I have really enjoyed Marco‘s Laptop Campfire Speed and if I wasn’t so tired I’d give this interestingly different music a proper review. Just know this: he’s good.
Once from the lovely land of Ottawa, Canada – monsieur Jonathan Clancy or His Clancyness now resides in the northern lands of Italy. This from his Always Mist latest release which is getting good words left, right and centre. I stumbled upon him trying to find some more artists like Wild Nothing so if that’s your cup of tea try these relaxed chords, lullaby vocals and dreamy arrangements. He’s playing some shows towards the end of July but for now

“Dip for air – perfect pace”
Just found these guys from Hype machines popular list which is a pretty good if you’re looking for something different to your usual tastes but still relatively awesome (as far as the consensus of internet popularity goes).

I was reading this and laughing which led me to reading this and fondly recalling the Kicks and their beautiful music and then I decided to share. I don’t believe the guys are up to anything collaboratively at the moment, they all seem to be doing their own solo things. So no tour info but we do have a healthy course of

Three and a half minutes of new wave from Sydneysiders teenagersintokyo ticks all the boxes for an adrenaline injection of Shiny Toy Guns quality riffs and vocals – and I do enjoy me some STGs. This track is off their self titled EP available here and also on their debut LP Sacrifice being released on their UK label. By the by, check this awesome video to the title track opening their website – both beautiful and brutal. They’re currently doing the European thing so go check ‘em out if you can, and
