Sweetheart: Map Of The Human Heart

Valerie
Contrary to their name, Sweetheart isn't a band that does mushy, lovey-dovey music. Instead, what you'll hear when you put on their record is a mix of hipster, new wave music that's filled with jangly guitars and shouty vocals. If you thought The Strokes on first listen, well it really shouldn't be a surprise since the band does list them as among their influences. The group is made up of Canadian quartet, Matthew, Marty, Sammy, and Weezee. Map of the Human Heart is their debut record and it's filled with upbeat cuts that deal with various relationship issues.

Arrange: Plantation

Monica
Plantation embraces our sentimental tears and wounds, growing it into a teeming garden of emotional indulgence. This self-released solo project by Arrange, better known as Malcom Lacey, screams post-modernism all throughout due to the different approach on its structure-- the album in itself is a sole piece slowly progressing with each track. Now, how clever can that get?

Robert Louis Stevenson: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Monica
Devour on the best Victorian horror story with The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a book originally written by Robert Louis Stevenson as a chilling shocker that was soon burned and rewritten as the complex tale it is today. The story revolves around a mid-mannered Dr. Jekyll who curiously passes all his riches to a certain Mr. Hyde, an unpleasant character that reeks of darkness and evil. As bizarre incidents unfold in the doctor's life, Hyde's true identity is revealed.

The Susan Constant: Rayonnement

Valerie
The boys of The Susan Constant dub themselves as a band who are "committed to writing hooky and insightful indie rock for local consumption, we write radio songs for people who don't listen to the radio." True enough, the five-piece stay true to their commitment and create songs that are radio-friendly and easy to listen to. Their sound is filled with indie rock goodness along with a touch of pop. This is a debut album for the band. It's released under Tour de Stade Records but you can grab the free digital download over at BandCamp.

Guerre: Darker My Love

Valerie
Guerre is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Lavurn Lee. He's originally from Toronto but currently based in Australia. Even though he started out creating music with a hushed folk sound, Guerre's sound has evolved into a sophisticated mix of ambient electronic pop with a touch of soul. This debut EP from the artist strings together a lush set of tracks that tackle love, sex, guilt and exudes a somewhat silent remorse. It's moody, eclectic pop in a really good way.

Wikihood

Frostech
The iPad can act as so many things at once, a camera, an iPod, E-book reader, gaming console and the likes. How about your iPad becoming your travel and tour guide? Sounds interesting? Yes, Wikihood is an app that just transforms your iPad into a full-fledged tour guide and location expert. Wikihood can be called a marriage between Google maps and Wikipedia, mostly because places are shown in the form of maps with all the information available in the Wikipedia bank filling in the blanks about that particular place.
