Boyfriend EP

we love trees

In an industry seemingly overgrown and cradled by recent lo-fi establishments, We Are Trees have taken that lo-fi aesthetic and chosen something different – the purest definition of crisp. With production that nurtures fidelity as a living, breathing art, this Virginia Beach band’s sound lies somewhere between the plains of Middle America and the cliffs of a Western Coast. The vocals, while drawing comparisons to Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear, are a mastery all their own, with sweeping “ohs” and cradling lyrics. And the finality of We Are Trees is that when all these elements are combined—the wind and whirl of the violin, the clicks and snaps where drumsticks sound like falling trees, the sharp, sophisticated acoustic guitar, and the ebullient voice of James Nee—there is little else to know than the need to keep listening.

Never Follow Suit EP

sweden's and the world's finest purveyor of pop music

The Radio Department goes dub. The Ep "Never Follow Suit" has, at least at a first glance, more in common with King Tubby and Augustus Pablo than Pet Shop Boys and My Bloody Valentine.  Foggy pop melodies find their way through multi-layered soundscapes of panoramic delays, hypnotic bass lines, echo-ing analogue synthesizers and skanky guitar loops.

"a carta de Christopher"

'Last year, the wounded, starry-eyed San Francisco indie-pop group Girls released their debut album Album and made our year-end top 10. Before this year is up, they'll follow Album with a brand new EP. Broken Dreams Club is out November 22 on True Panther. Broken Dreams Club includes six songs and lasts 30 minutes. JR White, Girls' instrumental guru, recorded it at the band's own home studio. And according to the music-selling site Interpunk, where you can now pre-order the EP, Broken Dreams Club features "a more massive, lusher sound with horns, pedal steel and psychedelic effects dappled throughout."'

Eternal Summers (2009)

Eternal Summers is: Nicole Yun + Daniel Cundiff

"The inland duo’s music comes out of the forests of Roanoke, VA, where the mountain vistas are inspiring but the scene is mostly cover bands. Both members are a part of the Magic Twig Community, a collective of nine like-minded musicians that cherish boundless creativity and weirdo indie pop. When Yun, who sings and plays guitar, moved to Roanoke, she originally played with another drummer, but when he bailed before a gig, Cundiff jumped in. What resulted was something very, very punk, and Yun and Cundiff knew they had the right musical chemistry. That’s when Eternal Summers was born." (Kanine Recs)

Meus Heróis (2010)

"o chão de flores desenhadas por alguém que acredita em sonhos"

"Formada por 4 amigos que compartilham de uma mesma afinidade melódica, a Carpete Florido desemboca grandes ondas de guitarras distorcidas e vocais bem elaborados em Meus Heróis — 1° EP, lançado via Transfusão Noise Records e produzido por Lê Almeida e Paulo Casaes. As gravações, realizadas entre 2009 e 2010 no quintal do Lê, foram todas feitas em fita K7, através de um porta-estúdio Tascam. Diferente do primeiro registro da banda, o compacto Estelar, no novo disquinho as canções deixam de ser lentas, quase arrastadas, e se tornam pequenas pérolas roqueiras com descolado apego indie 90s."

beginin w/ WASHED OUT

"Washed Out is the stage name of musician Ernest Greene. In June 2009, Greene moved back home to the rural town of Perry, Georgia and started producing songs in his bedroom studio. He soon won the favor of a number of influential music bloggers after they found his music on his MySpace page. His style has been identified with the chillwave movement. The first two Washed Out EPs were released in August and September 2009. Washed Out made his debut New York City performance (his second live show ever) at Santos Party House." (Wikipedia)
