Carloman: Carloman

Occasionally it's good to branch out and listen to different types of music. My little branching out came in the form of Carloman. They describe their sound as pre-Baroque, medieval folk music. Indeed, when you listen to the record, you could feel as if you're gracing King Arthur's court or simply trapped somewhere in the 19th century with kings and queens. Carloman is actually two people, namely Dominic Matar & Elliot Thompson. They're currently based in New York City and this dreamy, other-wordly compilation is their debut record.

Tweegram

In search of an all new way to tweet? Well than, say hello to Tweetgram. The app lets you play around with pictures and various fonts for a more intuitive way of self-expression. Tweegram comes from the makers of Instagram, and allows the user to publish all his/her thoughts on their Instagram timeline. So what really is the big deal? Instagram allowed users to post pictures directly on Twitter, but with Tweetgram, users can post messages directly to their Instagram timeline without uploading a photo.

Wolfwolf: Happy Heart Breaks LP

Eighties sounding synths and a hypnotic little persona help complete Wolfwolf's musical enigma. Combining 80s music with laid back R&B and a slight dance beat, Happy Heart Breaks LP is an interesting little compilation that's worth your time. Gathering together 8 tracks, the album doesn't only include catchy tunes but also ooze a subtle sexiness at the same time. Designed to make you want to take yourself to the dancefloor and enjoy the night away; each track is a beautiful cacophony of groovy beats and vocals.
