Eva on the Western Castle Island: The Wong Way EP

Valerie
Eva on the Western Castle Island might not be the most catchy band name out there but it is charming especially when it's accompanied by great music. This simple record is more than just indie pop. It's a lush compilation that warms up the thought and squeezes some melodies out of your bones during those cold winter days. The band is made up of lead singer, Eva Wong, joined by assist Eero Vesterinen, guitarist Ilkka Saarinen as well as drummer Martin Linnankoski.

The Zombie Dandies

Valerie
Short, loud and energetic are the best words to describe this raucous EP from The Zombie Dandies. These two Frenchmen are obviously fans of the Motley Crue-era punk rock. Creating this nice, fast paced combo of guitars and vocals; the EP is a great picker-upper if you’re feeling like a sleepy head.

Cleft: Whale Bone

Monica
Try to imagine a fourteen minute song made by a drum machine and then try to compress it into a three minute soundtrack. That is what Cleft is. A 2-piece turbo-progressive band that makes massive instrumental music using guitars and some drums.

AstroLust: Illusions

Valerie
Illusions is a world where only beats, rhythm and dub matter. Created by Dominic H. Francisco aka AstroLust, the album throbs and teases with various triphop dub sounds. There's really not that much info about the artist available online but one thing's for sure, his capacity to capture this cool and dark atmosphere by manipulating samples, synths and instruments is praiseworthy. This is the fourth release from the artist since June 2012 and it seems listeners can expect some more until the year ends.
