Nalan, the talented Munich singer is back with her brand new project called NalaN. The first single "Vision" from the forthcoming album "Collaboration Rules the Nation" takes an effective electronic indie-pop approach and is simply amazing. Dreamy vocals and a beautiifully low-key instrumentation make this special! Also check out her bandcamp and facebook profile!

Just bought this little gem of an album! “Chorus” by Literature from Philadelphia. Great melodies and harmonies included. Awesome record!

Dreamers from Brooklyn with a really cool music video for their song "Wolves". I'm downright excited by the charming B-Movie style, which suits this song perfectly! All the fuzzy guitars and a brilliant chorus make this song so much fun! A blast!!! For fans of The Cribs, The Vaccines, The Strokes, The Ramones

Really short but also really awesome song “When I Wake Up” by Decent Lovers. Where’s the repeat button?

Kishi Bashi live on KEXP! What an exceptional performance it is! The song "Philosophize in it! Chemicalize with it!" is so fantastic on multiple levels that it's hard to describe! A real gem!

I do not know many Italian bands, but His Clancyness are my favorite one for sure! Unfortunately i couldn't see the complete concert in Munich at the Theatron Festival a few days ago. Hope you come back for another show sometime soon! This song is called "Machines".

Love this stuff! At first i thought i was listening to a new song by my beloved “Two Door Cinema Club”. But it turned out i was totally wrong. “Night Window” is actually a very fine track by exquisit Young Liars from Vancouver. Shame on me!

The new single "Bloodlines" by Portland band Mimicking Birds leaves me speechless! Great songwriting and beautiful vocals create a magical atmosphere! The Album "Eons" will be availiable May 13th.

Bonjour! Another great band emerging from Paris! I always admire the French for their formidable music acts! The newcomers Cheri Cheri Jaguar are no exception with their echoing and jangling track "Walk/Don't Walk" from their upcoming debut EP "Collapsing Vapor". The music video has it all: nightlife, summer vacation and an alien autopsy.

Like this very much! Such a powerful song even when performed solely with one acoustic guitar by charismatic Michael Maffei from hunter & wolf, an amazing indie-folk-rock duo from New York with the other member being Sundeep Kapur. The song is called "Woe Is You".

Nothing left to say about Thee Oh Sees, except they rock! Really enjoy the quirky and psychedelic music video for their new single "The Lens". It was directed by Alex Theodoropulos, you can find some of his marvelous works on his official website. The song reminds very much of "The Beatles" around "Sgt. Pepper’s", which is always a good thing!
