Chromatics



Chromatics

Lo fi electronic album by Chromatics. I really like this band, their single on the after dark comp. really turned me onto them. Jhonny Jewel from Glass Candy is also in this band.

Night Drive

Mixtapes & Cellmates


Mixtapes & Cellmates is a shoegaze/indie pop band from Stockholm, Sweden. They have been compared to The Radio Dept.

This is a compilation of ep's by M&C; very low-fi and and easy to listen to. I really like the voice effects and the overall feeling of the early recordings by this band.

After Dark

Glass Candy


Glass Candy

Constantly evolving, Glass Candy have travelled from bare bones stripped down disco rock to equal parts digital and analogue, to synthesizer/drum machine with a side of bass and live drums, to Italo Disco. Born in Portland in the late 90's, the current line up is Ida No on vocals and Johnny Jewel on synths, guitar, and production.

I love this band, very tasteful and groovy. Here is their album Beat Box and a collection of ep's and singles called Deep Gems.
