“Behind the cotton-candy arrangements are songs about despair, demons, and D.C. women who cast aside poor Jesse Elliott to enjoy "weekends on the wrong side of the tracks." Elliott's whispered vocals seduce even when they lack range—he lets his lyrics do the talking anyway, as in "First Sight," a fantastical narrative that seeks to prove Lou Reed's claim that in between thought and expression lies a lifetime. Elsewhere, a fist-raising chorus powers "Burn This Bridge," while Burt Bacharach–derived horns trumpet Elliott's classic-pop influences. The short songs too often find him serving up tasty, melodic morsels, only to snatch them away before you're fully satisfied. But perhaps, just like the deceitful lovers he's rhapsodizing, Elliott's trying to leave you wanting more.” - Village Voice

OBI BEST
“When she’s not moonlighting as back-up singer for acclaimed retro-pop group the Bird and the Bee , Alex Lilly is masterminding the fanciful pop of Obi Best. Ranging from melodic and ethereal to rollicking and fun, their music inhabits a universe where fantasy and reality live side by side; here, Tokyo lies just around the block from Stockholm, youth and wisdom hold hands, magic seems to grow on trees.” – Social Science

“We've been anxious to hook up with Obi Best since stumbling across one of their shows last year. They're just a fantastic band that will remind you of all the things you love about Swede pop, 60's grooves, and Minty Fresh records. Plus their video for "Nothing Can Come Between Us" just kills.” -- LA Underground

...kept it coming with versatile, soulful, psychadelica touched rock, eclectic enough to be edgy and hook the young, hip crowd yet still sonically, rhythmically mature so that someone like say, me, saw fit to reflect on the moments of classic rock-feel. And on the vocals - somewhat Dylanesque but with better tone, thank Goddess. I think I started drifting back to the 70's and, let me tell you, that's a damned good thing. Also a point in their favor, they present well on stage; with confidence and like musicians meant to be on that stage. -Mishmash Magazine

“Seeing Very Be Careful live is akin to a rebirth. Not to be dramatic, but dancing for an hour and a half straight to the four rhythms of vallenato alters one's mind, creating a sense that nothing exists beyond the sonic fortress that VBC creates.”- MP3.com

“Experiencing Very Be Careful live for the first time is a rush. The Columbian vallenato quintet’s music is alive with crisscrossing merengue and cumbia rhythms and pulsating grooves that yank dancers to their feet and splash smiles across the faces of listeners. It’s not just that their zesty sound makes for a fantastic sonic party; it refreshes the ear and spirit.” - Pasadena Weekly

RACHAEL CANTU
“... seems to be popping up everywhere lately—and for good reason. With a voice as clear and ashy as hers (I’m trying to avoid saying “smoky”), and with songs that seem to perfectly smolder somewhere between light-hearted pop and forlorn folk, she’s become a surprisingly versatile fit on the varied and ample bills she’s been lighting up. Let’s just say she won’t be local for long. On this, her debut, there’s none of the “Introducing ME!” clobbery that I’ve come to expect from local solo debuts—instead, Run all Night is a subtly constructed and tastefully executed portrayal of Cantu’s many sides. Opener “Hear My Laughter” is a simple summery strummer with a growly tension at its center (“If it’s a fight you’re looking for…/ I’ll hit first”), while “Blood Laughs” is beautifully minimal, setting its cool, distant vocal atop Tony Goddess’s calm organ drone. Girl-with-guitar records are tough to pull off—most of the time, a voice, some strings and a song can only go so far. Thankfully, Cantu’s record is rich in the arrangement department, with perfectly placed flourishes lending classy colors to the hushed, dark spaces of her songs without disturbing the peace. If you have a soft spot for sweet guitar pop, you’ll be as reluctant to turn Run all Night up as you will be to turn it off. -The Weekly Dig

MONSTER
singer Alex Johnstone's voice is the main attraction. It turns out that Johnstone's talents don't end with effortless and original vocal performances. It seems that Monster is her project, with other people only covering percussion and incidental instruments on the album. And this sense of personal investment and revelation comes through on Monster. Johnstone coos and rails atop acoustic guitar and banjo, presenting highly crafted, wonderfully arranged tunes that showcase her voice and storytelling abilities. Other times, she's strapping on a Univox in front of a half-stack and supplying some sufficiently rocking leads. Fans of Cat Power, Devendra, Mojave 3, Galaxie 500 will find a lot to like here. Moreover, this album can make jaded music fans begin to believe again that people are making good music out there. JC "_- MUSICSPORK

HALEY BONAR
"To be releasing a third full-length album at the age of 25 is a feat. To do so as the songwriter, guitarist, Rhodes pianist and producer? Well, that's another sort of feat entirely. For those keen on sniffing out the Next Big Things, be well advised of Bonar. With Neko Case , Feist and Cat Power all finding national fame, there's little to indicate Minnesota's adopted daughter can't arrive at the same sort of success and become, well, a pretty big star." - Minnesota Daily

"I could listen to Haley Bonar sing anything. It helps that her songs are usually well-crafted, and that the production is meticulous, but for me, it's all about the voice. It's light without being weak, airy without being empty. There are years in there, experiences you don't, and never will, know about." - Music For Robots

FLAMING FIRE
"The Brooklyn-based collective Flaming Fire is more like an evangelical church congregation than like a conventional rock group, with its leader, Patrick Hambrecht, in the role of preacher and the other members (including his wife, Kate) as his loyal followers. The group’s songs pair deceptively simple Residents-like riffs and occasional bursts of noise with fearsome, Biblical-sounding group chants and call-and-response singing. Most refreshing are Hambrecht’s seriousness and fervor. (The band’s sense of irony is limited to the darker variety--'Kill the Right People,' one refrain goes.)" -The New Yorker

THE MAY FIRE
When the May Fire's frontwoman Catty Tasso sings "I wanna riot" over a thudding bass line and squirrelly guitar distortion that wouldn't be out of place on Nirvana's In Utero, it's like 1993 all over again. The San Francisco quartet has built up a good amount of buzz over the course of a few EPs that traffic in riot-grrrl cheerleading, Blonde Redhead-ish noise-funk, and the
odd power ballad. Tasso is the May Fire's not-so-secret weapon, and has the kind of brash, confident voice that marked '90s alt-rock divas like PJ Harvey and Courtney Love. -Flavorpill

...music is rich and lush, full of ethereal electronic sounds, soaring guitars and Scandinavian influenced melodies. They tastefully orchestrate a wide array of interesting instruments – guitars, metalaphone, viola, melodica, trumpets, saxaphone, and accordion to create memorable sound scapes. With a live set renowned for its explosive energy and occasional devastating percussion breaks, it is no surprise they won the 2007 national Garage-to-V competition. Since forming in late 2006, the Seabellies have already built up an enviable reputation based on their explosive live performances and acclaimed debut EP sold only at their early gigs. Swapping instruments throughout the set, the bands onstage presence is akin to Architecture in Helsinki, Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, Stars, and the Go! Team - those who refuse to be boxed into the traditions of four beat rock’n’roll. - Q Music

“...one of the most delightful new groups to emerge out of the Los Angeles music scene in years.

And it was lovely.” -LA Underground

HACKENSAW BOYS

THE HACKENSAW BOYS
"Before there was bluegrass, Appalachian folk musicians played their string instruments for such social occasions as dancing and front-porch visiting. Nowadays, it's hard to find a band that doesn't mix those old-time traditions with modern show-biz presentation. But the Hackensaw Boys hew to the spirit of the hills. No one in the band seems more important than anybody else - these guys are all about the joys of playing together. Co-founder Tom Peloso actually spends more time these days with alt-rockers Modest Mouse, but his eight-man ensemble is still out there mixing string-band oldies with entertaining originals." - STL Today

ROBERT FRANCIS
"Francis’ tone has a pillowed edge, which undercuts the gentle ebb from the backing score. His voice converses when it should, consoling from the shadows, and his songs are well-crafted embers that burn with the kind of cadence that glows with authenticity." --- Performer Magazine

Robert Francis also makes use of banjo, lap steel, and parlor piano, recalling great American songwriters like Dylan or Van Zandt without resorting to lyrical clichés or constructed Americana. One album down, and he’s already proving wise beyond his years. -The Tripwire

CHARLIE WADHAMS
“The first time I saw Charlie Wadhams, I was at Tangier. Around this time Tangier was a local spot in Los Angeles where many of us were playing: Gary Jules, Inara George, Eleni Mandell, Mia Doi Todd, Tom Brusseau etc. Needless to say, many talented folks were on the bill, much like the Troubador in the late 60's. Charlie's songs stood out to me as both honest and natural, funny and earnest. The lack of irony and abundance of charm led me to recording him with drummer Joey Waronker(Beck, Johnny Cash) and bassist Gus Seyffert(Sia, Inara George) in the coming weeks. The songs were bare and rough around the edges and his voice was sweet. We got together with my trusty engineer Bryan Cook(Inara George, Gary Jules, Mike Andrews) and laid the record down in a week at my studio. Charlie sang and played guitar, and Me, Joey, and Gus were in the next room laying down the tracks. This recording is almost entirely live and hopefully captures the haphazard spirit that is Charlie Wadhams. Fans of Jonathan Richmond, Elvis Costello, and John Martyn take note. Charlie is a great songwriter and a voice to be remembered.” - Mike Andrews

Mother Mother's use of rich vocal harmony, deeply poetic lyricism, and dynamic instrumentation are masterfully employed in this new collection of songs that mark the evolution and maturity of a band that stands out in today's music scene – a band with staying power, and one that pushes the bounds of contemporary pop/rock sensibilities.”

Pappademas is a genuine craftswoman: she pays close attention to the construction of a song yet manages to never lose sight of its emotional foundation.” - Paradigm Art/Literal Journal

THE ROYALTIES (Norway)
SO MANY WIZARDS
FURCAST

THE ROYALTIES
Hvis vi ser bort fra at noen av medlemmene egentlig kommer fra Kristiansund kan vi si at The Royalties er enda et bergensband som er forelsket i den store poptradisjonen. The Royalties ble her i avisa utropt til et av de beste nye navnene på Bylarm i fjor, samtidig med at de ga ut et svært lovende debutalbum. På oppfølgeren tar de et skritt videre, og står fram som et fullt ferdig sofistikert orkester.

Frontmann og produsent Tommy Haltbakk må være en av de mest ambisiøse artistene av den yngre garde i dag. Ikke bare fordi han kan skrive fortryllende låter som «Islets In The Sky» og «Clutching At Straws 2». «The Lost Royalties» er også storslått produsert og arrangert, med en fantasi og overflod som tar dem videre fra alle nostalgiske drømmer. The Royalties nyter godt av sin faste blåserrekke, som kler dem veldig godt. De er best når denne rekka slår seg løs og overdøver inntrykket av lett underholdningsmusikk. Den instrumentale avslutningen «Music For Breaking Into A House» slår gnister. Til tross for noen små hvileskjær er vi godt fornøyde med innsatsen når de er i mål. - Kultur Musikk

"Driven by tightly interlocked guitar and keyboard lines, the Los Angeles-based quintet's effective blend of danceable pop melodies is adorned with Andrew Carroll's vocals, which sometimes follow the lead of David Byrne and Paul Simon." -Flaunt Magazine

CHRIS ROBLEY 8p

GRAMPALL JOOKABOX
Grampall Jookabox, the name of Indianapolis native David "Moose" Adamson's musical project, sounds like a child slurring the words “Grandpa Jukebox,” implying filial connection with an archaic musical object. Jookabox’s debut record, Scientific Cricket, samples a kind of primordial blues sound, children's sidewalk-chalk rhymes and Appalachian folk. But his latest effort finds him moving into new, unplumbed territories. Ropechain pinwheels kaleidoscopically through old-time spirituals, punk, chain-gang hymnal, deep house, and club music hip-hop, blending these disparate elements into a cohesive and unique synthesis.

“Anyone called a "ghetto-folkster" is alright by us, but this is real Marmite stuff - it's either genius or moronic, but is probably blessed with a touch of both. There's definitely something arresting about the soulful warbling of "Now don't it make you feel good when a girl ain't preggers?" over the kind of music Kings Of Leon would have made if they'd been brought up on a pirate radio instead of rock'n'roll.” - The Lipster

ADAM STEPHENS
“Adam Stephens is best known as guitarist and vocalist for San Francisco duo Two Gallants. Stylistically rooted in the blues and folk influences of decades past, Stephens offers an independent voice seemingly unaffected by the confines propagated by musical contemporaries. For those accustomed to the rhythmically backed context in which Stephens typically performs, expect a performance more akin to Two Gallants' 2007 acoustic release "The Scenery of Farewell", complete with Stephens' intricate fingerpicking and lyrics befitting a classic novelist.” ANNE OSTROWSKI

NIGHT HORSE
Tradition lies deep in the music of Los Angeles rock and roll group NIGHT HORSE, which features members of dirge soundscapists Ancestors and the vocal styling of Sam James Velde, formerly of explorative and adventurous rockers Bluebird. NIGHT HORSE bring a saddle bag full of heavy, raw and riffed-out blues-tinged rock steeped in the likes of John Lee Hooker, Taste, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac and The Allman Brothers Band without a retro stitch. NIGHT HORSE rein in the past with a firm heel in the present, galloping next to such like-minded contemporaries as Harvey Milk, Down and Priestess. Delivering heavy testimonials harnessed with a twin lead guitar assault, NIGHT HORSE join hands with these brothers in arms.

Like Pavement, [Death to Anders] is consciously aware of their sound, steering and shaping it instead of letting it control them. They know when to kick in the distortion and scream unintelligently, and when to harmonize over a pretty shuffle. Like the Pixies, their song structures are unorthodox but do not alienate, and can seamlessly and radically alter their tempo and volume while weaving hypnotic melodies into a solid rhythmic backbone. -Delusions of Adequacy
