This indie pop group comes from LA, California. “The Tartans” is formed by Brian C., Jesse, Lon, Yvonne and Brian Y. “Full of soul and full of fun” (as the YAY! Records have described them), they use 6 & 12 string guitar, bass, drums, glockenspiel, melodica, harmonica, keys, saxophone and next to their nice, melodic and most soothing vocals, they make one of the best indie pop tracks I have so far heard. I could…
stands for the Stockholm-based solo performance of Magnus Sätterström . This Swedish indie pop performer has released a couple of songs that could perfectly get squeezed among the good pop songs we’ve listened to lately. Different keyboards get mixed with guitars and a variety of computer editings. Don’t be fooled – it wouldn’t fit under the electronica label or something equally artificial. The relaxed and sometimes quite pessimistic vocals, the honest and up-front lyrics and…
Electrelane is a british indie/experimental rock band (previously located in Brighton, UK … now scattered around the world). They’ve been making music starting with 1998, they released their first album in 2001 – “Rock it to the Moon” – and have been touring ever since. The band was last formed (well, theoretically, it still is) by Emma Gaze, Mia Clarke, Verity Susman and Ros Murray. There have also been other past members, such as Tracey…
The Concretes don’t need a long introduction, since they have been making music for us, for the past ten years – they are active, as a band, since 1995. The indie pop band comes from Stockholm (Sweden). They began as a three-piece band – Victoria Bergsman, Maria Eriksson, and Lisa Milberg – but have had as many as eight members at once. Presently, the band members are as follow: – Lisa Milberg (vocals, drums, etc),…
Make yourselves a favour, and before starting to read this article, go to JJ’s MySpace and listen to his songs while reading the following interview. They’re really good pop songs. Just as You! like them. And while listening, go through this article and read about his music, his future plans, when he plans on releasing his next album and so many more, including his hot party track list and his favourite bands. Zme: „If we…
I have recently made a review of Liechtenstein’s album “Survival Strategies in a Modern World” (you can read the article HERE) and I decided that it was deserving of much more than just a review. So an interview with the girls was definitely the next step. Renée was so kind to answer all of the questions and I hope you’ll enjoy reading this band’s future endeavours, musical preferences and their personal qualities. They seem to…
I think Headlights do not need any long introduction anymore, as they have been one of the most active members of the indie pop scene for 5 years now. I’m sure the ones who have been listening to their music are very excited to see this. If you think that you’re in a blur, however, just take the time to listen to “Cherry Tulips” or “Market Girl” on their MySpace or look for “Get Your…
They form a Swedish indie pop band, that has been making music for two years now (well, that we know of). Coming across a couple of their songs has been my musical highlight last month. Their sound is unique: breezy vocals and playful keyboards, which are both combined with the most eclectic guitar sounds. Those who are already familiar with their music are going to be extremely happy to know that the members of the…
In case you’ve been living on some other distant planet, you know that in every shop you go there’s at least one record in the ‘must have’ section that involved Ritchie Blackmore. Whether it’s from Deep Purple, Rainbow, Blackmore’s night or any other project he’s been involved in, you know it’s a work of art. Still, you have to admit, the man’s taste for music has changed considerably along the years. Starting with hard rock…
So some of you may not have heard of the name Brooke Fraser. Hailing from New Zealand, this humble and lovely songbird has already made quite a name for herself in the Pacific region. The album Albertine was released in the U.S not too long ago, and she’s currently on tour. I managed to speak to Brooke over the phone while she was preparing dinner for some friends to just have a chat about her…
