Pequeña Fiera! "Secrets with no words" - dreamy and hazy experimental art rock release

Filed under Audio, Electronic, Electronica, Rock

Download Album

Another great release from the Error!Lo-Fi Records (Spain). Pequeña Fiera! is a band that explores the border between lo-fi and experimental/art rock (vide Radiohead, Sigur Ros, etc.).

What we got on Secrets with no words are 5 very dreamy and hazy tunes that take us somewhere very much behind the rainbow. If the band thought about the compositions a little bit thoroughly than it would definitely be a minor underground hit-band.

Sleep.Shy "Galápagos Inn" - unusual mix of sweetness and cynicism

Filed under Audio, Pop, Pop Rock, Rock

Download Album

Sleep.Shy’s Galapagos Inn is one of the more unusual online albums to come out of 2009. It is calm, witty and somewhat perplexing in its mix of sweetness and cynicism.

The opening “I nowhere I am” is typical with its switch of upbeat rhythm to classical choir and piano then back. The track “On Why No. 2 Pencils Have Erasers” shows that this band has their hard rock side but when you least expect it…Mood change!

Lágrima “Trayecto Imperfecto de un Viaje Inacabado” - first release of Error! Lo-Fi Recordings

Filed under Audio, Indie Rock

Download Album

This is the first of the records from Error!Lo-Fi Recording, a very interesting net-label I would like to recommend here.

Lagrima plays interesting and engaging instrumental lo-fi and although there is a certain that-composition-is-so-similar and I-have-heard-it-before syndromes, it's still a recommendable release.
