Ear Pwr
Hailing from Baltimore, "Ear Pwr’s main influence is likely the Nintendo Entertainment System, at least if you take the album title at face value. It all depends on one’s tolerance for twee amphetamine electronix. If you go in with an open mind, despite the penetrating elf march histrionics (similar to Dan Deacon’s chipmunk chants), you’ll notice on 'You Are the Bomb' and 'Boys II Volcanoes' that the duo of Devin Booze and Sarah Reynolds place skilled beats atop an atmosphere of rubber and static." - Agit Reader

Adventure
Carpark recording artistes Adventure:
"If Game Boy made soul music, it would sound like this. Both rinky dink and rapturously melodic, Adventure programs dense layers of synth lines and shifting beats that fall together like sonic Tetris. As addictive as a good video game - and you can't lose." -SPIN

"..An exercise in kitten-cute hyper-melody, a boroque blend of ping and counterping with dashes of Sparks' oompah-rock and Yellow Magic Orchestra's synth sugar that pours melted happy-happy down your lugholes. New High Score." -NME

Hurry Up Shotgun
Mystic psycho pop from ex-members of Coma Girl and Green Light The Bombers.

Sister Grizzly

Dominique Leone
"San Francisco-based singer/multi-instrumentalist/producer Dominique Leone bows with a leftfield-pop classic. This self-titled debut sounds as if it were labored over for years, after immersion in the zenith of prog-rock, avant-garde composition, and art-pop mavericks. The 11 songs here abound with unexpected transitions, unusual electronic embellishments, and melodies of unearthly beauty and intrigue. Leone’s expressive voice by turns recalls Greg Lake, Adrian Belew, and Brian Wilson, craftily augmenting his shape-shifting, spine-tingling compositions. What Battles has done for math rock, Leone is doing for prog-pop: giving it a kitsch-free futuristic thrust that sets the standard for 21st-century practitioners of the genre." - XLR8R

Wiener Kids

The Fresh & Onlys
"They somehow have that rare ability to transcend time and space in their songs, ushering waves of pleasure down your spine as their atrocious hooks slide right into place under your jaw, like a snagged mackerel that just got yanked from the lake. Melding some serious 60s psyche/folk good vibrations into short, god-like bursts of modern miracle work, they keep their songs short and interesting, never leaving room for those inevitable, meandering trappings that always come back to bite even the most spirited attempts in the genre. With a multi-gendered cadre of bizarre characters in their ranks, The already inimitable Fresh & Onlys instantly align themselves with the freakier side of the state-of-the-art underground punk spectrum, and deliver a wall of male/female vocals that create chills that last from song to song, to song." - Victim of Time

Idle Times
from Brian formerly of Tall Birds. "Blown out, humming amps, cranked up with tons of reverb. The vocals barely make their way out from under the all treble high hiss of tracks and tracks of cymbals."

Snakeflower 2
Matthew Melton and company!

"Snake Flower 2's first full-length, Renegade Daydream (Tic Tac Totally), is so utterly bitchin': it's overdriven, romping-in-the-red hot-rod rawk for kids whose minds were forever fractured by dog-eared, rifled copies of Nuggets LPs, Steppenwolf's gnarlsome guitar tone, Roger Corman cinematic cheapie sleazies, and the Standells' heightened snot levels." - SF Bay Guardian
