Jenny Gabrielsson Mare - "The Black Lodge"

Singer-song writer asal Swedia yang akan merilis album solo keduanya bulan depan, dan sekarang ia merilis sebuah single dengan tema yang diambil dari mimpi anehnya; jatuh cinta pada Amanda Palmer dan pergi kedalam pekatnya hutan Twin Peaks". Saya suka lagu ini, ada sedikit pengaruh Amanda Palmer plus karakter vokal yang lembut membuat lagu ini lumayan adiktif. Kebetulan dia juga merilis sebuah video; silahkan dinikmati.

Kodacrome - Modern Man (free download)

Kodacrome-ModernMan by kodacrome

Kodacrome is Elissa Pociask (Elissa P., San Francisco) and Ryan Casey (KaeoFLUX, Brooklyn). Elissa designs energetic, interwoven pop melodies with haphazard structures, layered vocals, and mean lyrics. Ryan builds rich, textured soundscapes which can fall anywhere in between delicate and grimy. By means of a very natural spirit of teamwork, the two form thoughtfully crafted pieces, easy on the head and heavy on the pretty. After spending the past year working remotely from opposite coasts, and traveling almost monthly to play shows, Elissa and Ryan plan to lock themselves in a Massachusetts cabin all summer to focus on Kodacrome. Stay tuned for a sea of show dates in the summer and fall. (copied from the press release)
