Banquise

Valerie
Banquise is one of those groups that you wish you know more about. Playing a soft electro pop sound, the group is as much a mystery as they are a delight. There's hardly anything to be found online about them. Save for a sparse Facebook profile and a BandCamp page with nothing but just music and hardly any info, it's hard to find out more about this group. One thing that matters though is that their sound is delightful to listen to, with swirls of pianos, synths and a soft relaxing feel enveloped in between.

Cartes du Ciel

Mel
Cartes du Ciel (or Sky Chart) is an astronomy program. Created by Patrick Chevalley, it is a powerful planetarium with features similar to commercially available software. Cartes du Ciel precisely shows the placements of stars. Information on several stars are also provided. But it offers a lot more. Cartes du Ciel can also give you information on planets, asteroids, nebulae, galaxies and comets. The software supports many catalogs including Guide Star and Tycho. Other catalogs can be used so you can see thousands of stars.

Glass Pear: Streets of love

Valerie
If you're a fan of shows like Grey's Anatomy, Bones, One Tree Hill or maybe Vampire Diaries, then chances are you might have heard of Glass Pear's music even without knowing it. It's an odd moniker but the project is actually spearheaded by London based singer/songwriter, Yestyn Griffiths. Crafting beautiful melodic, acoustic, pop music, it's no surprise that his songs are picked up as material for various TV shows and dramas. His sound is clear and easily translates great emotion to the listeners.

Stickman Snowboarder Free

Mel
Stickman Snowboarder Free comes from Turbo Chilli, the same team that gave you Stickman Skater and Stickman BMX. This action / sports / adventure game has all the features that made the first two hits, and adds a whole lot more. The objective is simple: you just jump, grab, slide, spin and grind to victory. Use your snowboard to fly around ski slopes in various cities and terrains. The game is very easy to learn, but it takes a lot to master it. That’s one of the reasons why Stickman is such a hit.

Roomtone: Turkish Saddle

Monica
Encapsulating an overall sunny and chill vibe, Roomtone's Turkish Saddle is a fun and lounge-y album that screams sun-soaked carefree days. With an album cover of a man holding a vintage camera filtered in sepia tone, this full-length pays tribute to bedsit bands of the past and present. Turkish Saddle offers twelve tracks all written, arranged, and produced by Alexander Yaker.

Daniel James: Comfortable Cage

Valerie
Inspired by indie favorites Bon Iver, Racounters, The Shins, Sufjan Stevens and Kings of Leon, among others; it's easy to make Daniel James your new favorite if you like the music of the artists mentioned. Comfortable Cage flits between blueesy rock one moment and then moody folk rock to the next, entertaining the audience all the way through. The album itself is a couple of years old and was recorded at "ma and pa's house before they destroyed my studio and built a bigger kitchen... " according to the artist.

Brightwood Adventures

Frostech
If a cute game is on your list, then Brightwood Adventures is just the thing for you. This little treat is definitely something that will keep the younger folks in the house, busy for a while, giving you some well deserved break. The game was created by Kiwi Inc, a developer that really garnered impressive download figures with their previous game, Monster Park.
