The Scribblenauts: Low Light Turbulance

Kademlia
This week FrostClick & FrostWire bring you a debut album from The Scribblenauts – a talented hip-hop trio out of Boston. Each of them has been pursuing a solo career before these friends decided to combine their musical abilities to create an even better product. Their debut album is a mature and well composed release. Each track was easy to listen to and there was no unnecessary attempt at going over the top.

The Scare Bears: Zombies Are Everywhere

Valerie
Be warned: contains gazillion explicit content, tons of metal, punk rock and lyrical comedy. From the funky video game intro in Girls Don't Play, it's hard not to laugh and enjoy listening to The Scare Bears. Their music can best be described as a cross between loud metal, electronic and comedy. Most of the tracks do contain heavy cursing and cussing as well as overall dark content. If you don't mind it, you'll definitely enjoy listening to Zombies are Everywhere. The album is made up of 16 tracks with quirky titles like Banana and Dumpster Diapers. If you like heavy but fun rock and don't have a big problem with cussing, then this album is worth checking out.

Phun

Valerie
Phun is a challenging and fun 2D game where you can let your imagination run loose. Create objects from different sizes and of varying shapes. You can then make your objects come to life. Although it might seem simple, the game is very educational and very addictive. The game graphics has a cartoony feel which makes it fun to look at and easy to make. It features fun and believable graphics which encourages players to come up with new things and objects.

Leslie Hunt: Your Hair is on Fire

Valerie
Season 6 Top 24 American Idol finds music off Idol stage. For Leslie Hunt, American Idol was certainly quite an experience. Reaching the top 24 was definitely was a dream come true for this new mother. Despite being voted off, Leslie continues on after stepping off the Idol stage. Your Hair is on Fire is Leslie's first album and from the way it sounds, it seems that she's definitely grown as an artist and musician. The album is filled with jazzy, alternative pop tracks that boasts of Leslie's powerful and slightly raspy vocals.

Skencil

Sketching in front of your computer has become much easier and cheaper thanks to programs like Skencil. Skencil is a vector drawing software that helps artists and enthusiasts create beautiful sketches on their computers. In spite of the name change (it was formerly known as "Sketch") all of the features and GUI remain intact. The program is very helpful for creating illustrations, diagrams as well as other types of drawings. The entire application is created almost entirely from Python which is makes it highly specialized yet still easy to use.

Inertia Blooms: Cours, Camarade, Le Vieux Monde Est Derriere Toi EP

Valerie
Self-described "heavy mellow" rockers impresses with three song EP. Inertia Blooms is a quartet made up of Mitch Travis on vocals, Tim Hartin on guitars, Adam Betts on drums and Chris Traverse on bass guitar and laptop. Cours, Camarade, Le Vieux Monde Est Derriere Toi (which translates to"Run, comrade, the old world is behind you") is the band's first EP. As cheesy as "heavy mellow" might sound, the description is appropriate and it clearly impresses. These three tracks are definitely worth listening to, over and over again.

Sleepmakeswaves and Tangled Thoughts of Leaving: Split LP

Valerie
Quiet and surreal instrumental post rock from the land down under. With a quirky name like Sleepmakeswaves, you might think that the band plays shoegazer, indie rock. There's no denying that their music does bear a resemblance to this type of sound. The only difference is that they are on mute. Weaving metallic rock along with electronic textures, the band successfully creates a post rock instrumental opera. On the other hand, Tangled Thoughts of Leaving is a prominent prog-rock, jazz, noise band from Perth, Australia. Split LP is a result of the collaboration between these two bands; creating a sonic fusion of sound that can only be achieved when two different bands are in total, almost complete equilibrium with each other's sound.
