Norwegian Arms: Wolf Like a Stray Dog

Monica
It all started with a Mandolin, a musical instrument from the lute family functioned to play light classical string repertory, and a batch of songs written while shuttered away during a year in Siberia shared between two friends to birth what we know now as Norwegian Arms. With just these simple instruments, the group was able to give body and weight to their earnest, upbeat and thoughtful freak-folk.

Grimes: Geidi Primes

Valerie
By now, plenty of people have caught the Grimes bug. This Canadian music maker didn't expect her first album to become so successful but it was and it was even critically praised by several music reviewers for its eccentricity and originality. Geidi Primes was released last 2010 and contains 11 tracks that range from folkish electro dub to just an overall weird soundscape. Majority of the tracks on the album including the title itself are based on Frank Herbert's best selling science fiction novel, Dune. Expect to find references at every turn as you listen to the record. It takes you on a mystical journey that transcends and pulls you out of Earth and into a beautiful world few would ever experience.

Fey Moth: Flesh Foam Bread Bone

Monica
This three piece music group hailing from Seattle, Washington have a really eccentric taste for electronic music. In a way it feels like listening to something made for the evenings that end with a good drink or a smoke. What makes their album fun is that there is a supernatural element at work, an x-factor that can incite the most languid sensations and make you break out and dance inside the room.

Originally from Milwaukee but currently in separate corners of the world (Weber in Kenya and Osterman in Brooklyn), these two long-time friends proves that distance is not an issue in creating good music.

Chantilly: Up To the Moon EP

Valerie
Armed with sweet and powerful vocals, Chantilly's Up To the Moon EP booms and crashes like the Brooklyn singer's sunny and quirky disposition. This is one of those compilations that automatically make you smile and feel elated even if you're listening to it the first time. Up To the Moon EP is a compilation of 5 self-written tracks. This is a first for the singer and it's easy to tell that that she definitely has something up her sleeve. Her vocals and witty lyrics echo of lost loves, memorable summer times and of course, a general self-reflection that can only come from the mind of a witty and fun loving girl.

The Sea Life: In Basements

Monica
One spin of The Sea Life's latest release, In Basements, and it's clear that this might just be the perfect chill-out album for the weary soul. This Washington-based band is composed of Patrick, Jordan, Payton, Jon, and Vivek. In their latest album, The Sea Life separates themselves from the pack with ten tracks of undeniable dream pop. The group's sonic palette can be summed up as something in-between dark rock tones blended in a calm and spacey atmosphere.
