Josh Woodward – Sunny Side of the Street

Valerie
Josh Woodward is no stranger here in the Frostclick blog. Some of his records have been featured and reviewed right here; these include: The Simple Life, Only Whispering, Bread Crumbs, and Dirty Wings. Like most of Woodward's music, the albums are mainly pop songs with a touch of quirkiness embedded on the lyrics. He always manages to create an enjoyable record that anybody will enjoy on their quiet time. Sunny Side of the Street is no exception, it features beautiful, upbeat tracks with funny lyrics. It's also licensed under Creative Commons and available as a free download. It's not tough to fall in love with Woodward's music. Just pick and listen to any song from this record and you'll find out what I'm talking about.

Life Flashes By

Valerie
Ever wonder what life be like if you had made different decisions than you had before? Life Flashes By gives you a glimpse of what could've been in the life of Charlotte. It's a graphic adventure novel/game created by Deirdra Kiai. This is the first for the developer and he describes it as a game that tackles "success and failure in following one’s dreams, about finding love and losing it, and about feeling isolated and out of step with the rest of the world." The game takes you on a journey through the life of the middle aged protagonist as she takes another look at her life decisions. Even though the game features an odd premise and unlikely hero, it is quite interesting to play. So if you are looking for something new and a little out of the norm, then give this game a go.

Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty

Natalie
Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty, directed by Nicky Phelan and produced by Brown Bag Films, first came to the screen in 2008 and already has won a number of awards while traveling across vast lands of Ireland, America, and Australia. This wonderful 5 minute creation takes us inside of the little house where an old granny is telling a good night story to her grandchild. The story, however, does not come with a magical happy ending we would all hope for. Everything dressed in the stunning visuals is more than expected from an animation that found its way on the shortlist of 10 films for Oscar nominations in 2010. A definite little treat for just about everyone!

Derek Clegg – It Seems As Though

Valerie
Derek Clegg is no stranger here in Frostclick. Three of his previous releases, namely the cathartic, KJC; the mesmerizing Here Comes Your Fate, Quick Duck and the enthralling, Beautiful World; have been featured here in our blog. This time, Clegg is back and he's got another album in tow. Similar to his previous releases, It Seems As Though, flutters between indie folk, pop, acoustic country and even a hint of electronica. It's a beautiful mix of songs that reflect the artists' signature style and taste. It's hard to pigeonhole Clegg as an artist that's strictly limited to creating indie folk because he manages to add enough little touches to create a unique sound. Each song from the album resonate with a beautiful, heartfelt emotion that listeners will certainly enjoy.

The Iconoclasts

Valerie
Like most of Konjak's games, The Iconoclasts, is a short, incomplete platformer that packs enough punch to keep players interested. It seems the developer has been struggling with finishing most of his projects ever since before. Nevertheless, he still manages to create interesting and very entertaining pieces that's enough to make any fanboy/fangirl want more from him. Konjak or Joakim Sandberg is also the brainchild of the much praised indie favorite, Ivory Springs. He creates and works on almost all of the parts of the game, including rendering, soundtrack and programming.  The Iconoclasts is the latest release from the developer and promises to be as exciting as his previous projects.
