AstroLust: Illusions

Valerie
Illusions is a world where only beats, rhythm and dub matter. Created by Dominic H. Francisco aka AstroLust, the album throbs and teases with various triphop dub sounds. There's really not that much info about the artist available online but one thing's for sure, his capacity to capture this cool and dark atmosphere by manipulating samples, synths and instruments is praiseworthy. This is the fourth release from the artist since June 2012 and it seems listeners can expect some more until the year ends.

Tall Tall Trees: Moment

Valerie
When it comes to indie folk, you probably have a long list of them on your music player. However, Mike Savino aka Tall Tall Trees delivers a different kind of indie folk, one infused with a bit of blues and a whole lot of soul. This banjo player has been mesmerizing audiences with his brand of indie music for some time. He has released two albums under his belt, a self-titled debut (2009) and this one, Moment (2012.) Armed with an epic banjo technique that goes through loopers, effects et al.; you can bet you'd never see a banjo played like this before.

Shakey Graves: Roll the Bones

Valerie
Roll The Bones by Shakey Graves might be two years old but it hasn't lost its charming touch. Filled to the brim with delightful acoustic, folk americana music; the album is soothing in a "hangin'-out-the-bayou" sort of way. Shakey Graves is the moniker of Texas based singer, Alejandro Rose-Garcia. This is his debut compilation and from the sound of things, it's setting him up for a bright future. His vocals, coupled with his expert guitar picking makes the songs delightful and entertaining.

The Fox & Bear: Your Way EP

Valerie
When close friends get together, sparks fly and in this instance, good music also comes out. The Fox & Bear is a collaborative effort by close friends Caleb Kuhl, Brandon Owens, Jesse Koska & Jonathan Dimmel. Your Way EP is the first from the group (and hopefully not the last.) After recording the initial tracks, they took the project to Kickstarter to cull donations for the mixing and mastering of the record. They released the EP on November 2012. With only four tracks included, it's quite short but it's expertly written and provides an array of melodic indie rock that's easy to like.

Valerie
If you're up for some industrial music, you'll find something to enjoy from this record by United Noise.

Ogre Melodies: Ogre Melodies

Valerie
Don't be fooled by the stripped down and raw sound emanating from your players. It's just Ogre Melodies. Combining an indie, acoustic rock and even a hint of gypsy/weird folk on there, the short compilation injects plenty of fun to the genre.
