Free Opener

Mel
One of the most frustrating things about computing is you need to open different programs to view this or that file. Imagine just wanting a peek at a file and you have to launch a large application to do it. But it’s even worse if you don’t have the program to open a particular file. That is where Free Opener becomes indispensable. It is a program designed to open a large variety of files. The software is tasked with a single purpose: view different files. You don’t have to open the format’s associated program just to view it.

Young Men: Songs of Praise

Valerie
With their droned out indie rock, you can almost tell that these guys are from Chicago. It seems there's a strong urge for retro style lofi rock in the area and Young Men are definitely on the bandwagon. Songs of Praise is a 10-track debut compilation for duo T Smith and Drew B. Having formed just back in 2010, the crew are still in their early stages but their sound already rings with a nice sound. Recorded in their home studio, Young Men is a great group to watch out for.

Artha

For students and writers, a thesaurus is indispensible. Fortunately, Artha is a free open source thesaurus that can meet those demands. Aside from having chock-full of features, this cross-platform software can be used offline. You don’t need an Internet connection to use it. So even if your connection goes down, you still have access to the program.

Rushmore/Twin Cabins: Clementine

Valerie
Clementine is a quiet, sometimes shoegaze-inspired compilation record done by solo singer/songwriter, Rushmore. Also known as Twin Cabins, the musical project is spearheaded by Mexico City-born, Nacho Cano. Cano was exposed to music at a young age and began to record through throughout his adolescence. He has accumulated a number of recordings, which were mostly done in his bedroom. Most of the tracks he does are dreamy and represent a portion of the songwriter’s loneliness and his youth.

Tan Yu Quan: The Caterpillar Sandwich

Valerie
Sweet and charming. Those are the first two words you’ll probably think of when you hear this short but solid EP from Tan Yu Quan. Although not much is out there about the singer, he is from Singagpore and the charming EP is his first proper release. The entire four tracks were recorded from home and served simply as a personal project for the young musician. Despite being a home recording, the EP sounds quite polished and emanates with beautiful acoustic pop tracks throughout.

Eskar: The EP (Debut)

Valerie
West Yorkshire rap artist, Eskar is making his mark in the online hip hop world. The aptly titled “The E.P.” is a 10-track compilation recorded back in 2011. Although it was meant to be released soon after; time, school, money and other events hindered the artist from doing so. Luckily, he’s managed to still move forward with the debut and eventually offer this cool compilation for free download. Filled with samples, catchy and sometimes jazzy beats as well as some solid skills on the mic, Eskar is certainly an artist to check out.
