Tiny Fireflies

Natalie
This tiny release from October of last year might include only three tracks but since all of them got an instant pass to my lovely iTunes library I thought that they just might find their way into yours. In reality Tiny Fireflies are Lisle from the band Fireflies and Kristine from Tiny Microphone. However, together as a duo they call themselves Tiny Fireflies. Their music is a wonderful combination of melancholic, sensitive pop sounds and dreamlike vocals that are sure to catch your attention. Making waves and gaining new amazing fans wherever they go, the duo have already performed some of their new creations at NYC Popfest in May and are on their way to perform in Chicago alongside the Ladybug Transistor.

Mortys

Natalie
Mortys is a lovely short story about a little boy desperately looking to spend some quality time with his overworked mother. Growing up in the 21st century is not an easy feat for any young man; now add the fact that your mother is Death herself and you are faced with an entirely new set of family complications. With it's superb editing, stunning visuals, and some wonderful music compositions, it than comes with no surprise that today's animation has already traveled to and won awards at numerous festivals across Europe.

Curly Jefferson and His Orchestra: Ooh La La!

Natalie
The latest release from Curly Jefferson and His Orchestra perfectly blends the sounds from the old vinyl classics with the love of hip-hop, jazz, and downbeat. Available for a free download from the equally amazing Dedpop Netlabel, the album will certainly be a great addition to any music lover's library. One thing is for sure. Physicists at the Hong Kong University of Technology and Science might have proven that no machine will ever allow us to travel through time, however, what they did forget about is music - so sit back and enjoy the "Ooh La La!" ride into the smokey nightclubs of New York of the 1930s and 40s.

StrangeZero: Future is a Choice You Make

StrangeZero: Future is a Choice You Make

Natalie
StrangeZero are in fact SteliosZero and Io-V from Greece. Their music is a wonderful combination of electronic sounds strongly influenced by the good days of Harthouse and Eye Q., strong acid 303 trips and experimental ambient sounds. While they already released some of their recordings on many commercial CDs by Sony BMG and TSOE, they are also keeping with the tradition by making five of their albums and two EPs available as a free download under the Creative Commons license. What separates StrangeZero and their latest EP Future is a Choice You Make from others is the level of quality and the professional production that will surely keep you listening.

Boca Chica

Natalie
Boca Chica is definitely a dynamic band. Why dynamic? It had more than 40 different members since it's inception (currently including Hallie Pritts, Susanna Meyer, J. Vega, Ricky Moslen, James Hart, and Kraig Decker). Yet it's catchy lyrics and instrumentation, which take us on a unforgettable journey into the land of modern indie pop, have placed the band among the definite favorites in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and brought in many new fans from the infinite lands of the Internet. Their latest 3-track release with a EardrumsPop Netlabel is a beautiful collection of sounds for all those warm relaxing evenings ahead.

Medelia: Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines

Natalie
Straight from the heart of Madrid, Spain comes a timeless sound of two beautifully intertwined vocal lines, mesmerizing melodies full of rich acoustic guitars, violin, keyboards, bass, added drums, and the magical softness that only comes with the best of indie music. Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines by Medelia is said to create a unique place somewhere halfway between the world of literature and the world of music. It started in the late 2009 as a project of Elia Medel and Pablo Maqueda who teamed up with Pablo Oliva (keyboards), José Luis Luna (bass), Luis de Diego (drums), and Heidi Buffington (violin) to bring us their very first, self-produced EP.
