Here’s what others are saying about tunes I have been listening too. Add these sites to your reading lists, RSS feeds, sidebars, bookmarks etc.
Pash – Skylight
“The lyrics of the three songs here explore themes of fantasy, hopelessness, desperation and embarrassment – wanting something you can’t have, or somewhere you can’t go – which fits well with the hazy vocals and synthy, melancholic sound of the music, that will appeal to fans of Sarah Records’ work. The title song with which the EP opens is the most subdued, after which lead single Possession and focus track Fantasy become more and more upbeat, as if the foursome gradually feel more and more free.”

Skylight is out now on Dinosaur City
Sea Lemon – Stop At Nothing
“Sea Lemon has captured a month’s worth of counselling notes in a short EP release and as freeing and flowing as listening to it can be, writing and recording it must have taken an emotion toll on Lew. As someone who has struggled with getting the words out and trying to describe the abstract ideas bouncing around from brain cell to brain cell, Stop At Nothing was a more than necessary record to bring to the world”
“In a statement, she describes her sound as “Costco Cocteau Twins,” which is both incredibly apt and obviously hilarious. The catchy, saccharine “3A” features twinkly guitar and a buzzy, irresistibly poppy chorus. “Breakdown” ricochets us into zoned out, Washed Out-like territory. Other songs slingshot from lo-fi garage rock, to true shoegaze, to synth pop, and back again. While the EP contains multiple personalities, it’s anything but schizophrenic. ”

Human Tetris – Two Rooms
“The album is a perfect blend of New Wave and post-punk, with brilliant guitar, dark basslines, and melancholic vocals. Favourite tracks: Fade, Horizon, Day and Night, Reminder…”
Via Kool Rock Radio
“While it is true Two Rooms feels simple and without much substance involved, it shows Human Tetris feeling that fervor for 21st century new wave and revivalist post-punk in its most pop version. ”
