Kris Orlowski
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G044UdSu4wA[/youtube] I’m becoming a big fan of Seattle-based Kris Orlowski. He’s released a couple really great EP’s in The Freemont Abbey EP and The Warsaw EP back in November. He sent this great video for a new song of
Matthew E. White
Matthew E. White – One of These Days “One of These Days,” is the first single from Richmond, VA’s Matthew E. White, a downtempo number that features gentle vocals that are haunting (its a juxtaposition that does work pretty well) personal, & soulful yet modest. The subtlety and gentleness makes
Jens Lekman
[audiotube id=”ylusuuXEJ4k” time=”no”] In September, Swedish songwriter Jens Lekman will release his break-up record titled I Know What Love Isn’t.

Langhorne Slim

Bear Driver
Sunny, slacker pop has a particular home in my heart, and I touched upon Bear Driver’s single “Big Love,” a few months back. Fast forward to now, they are releasing another single “Enemy,” a whimsical pop rock track that glistens and jangles with a coinciding video (below) and the
Blonds
Blonds – Run The lovely duo Blonds is about to released their full length debut, The Bad Ones, on August 7th this year. They are releasing this first single, “Run,” a melodramatic track with huge, howling vocals from singer Cari Rae. It’s expansive, raw and beautiful. The Floridian couple uprooted
Chocolate Robots
Chocolate Robots – Young Luff This may be the perfect ray of sunshine that we here in Boston need after about 2 weeks of gray days and rain. Enter Chocolate Robots, a trio of brothers who call a pizza shop home. Their music is fun, irreverent, a little zany and whimsical.
We Loyal

Mornin Old Sport
Mornin Old Sport – I Don’t Care If The Sun Don’t Shine Check out bay area’s Mornin’ Old Sport’s cover of Mack David / Patti Page’s “I Don’t Care If the Sun Don’t Shine”, an old timey 50’s song that sounds as if it
Manor
Manor – Afghan Hound A while back I posted about Australian duo Manor, and today the duo is back at it, releasing another single titled “Afghan Hound,” a moody electro pop track with a hypnotic beat and reverb drenched vocals. The follow-up to last year’s debut “Rhodesia,” “Afghan Hound,” was
