Bass Lions - Dynamite Quartz
Bass Lions - Dynamite Quartz
Sounds like: San Fermin, Field Division, Said The Whale
Tags: Editor's Pick, indie rock, indie pop, experimental
By Kelsey Simpkins on Apr 15, 2017 | It's not every day an indie band takes on Bach. But as part of an EP of modern adaptations of classical music by Bach and Holst set for release on April 21st, Bass Lions have composed a collaborative arrangement of “Dynamite Quartz” with members and ... read more →

Chrysanthemum Bear - 3 Ravens
Chrysanthemum Bear - 3 Ravens
Sounds like: Fever Ray, Zola Jesus, Grimes
By Tobias Handke on May 22, 2016 | A few weeks ago I post the track "Graphene 1b For Jeremy," the first release from mysterious artist Chrysanthemum Bear. Today the follow-up single has dropped and it's another intriguing track. "3 Ravens" sounds like something out of Game Of Thrones... read more →

Packwood - We Drink Light
Packwood - We Drink Light
Sounds like: Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird, Sigur Ros
By Hugh McClure on Aug 11, 2015 | If you've been following Packwood's progression this year via our pages, you'll remember he's putting out music a little differently. The Melbourne musician is putting out a seasonal EP every three months, with the four "seasons" part of a larger pie... read more →

Deradoorian - Komodo
Deradoorian - Komodo
Sounds like: Kate Bush, Sufjan Stevens
By Lauren Ziegler on Aug 9, 2015 | This is an interesting little track that's way out of my musical comfort zone. For a time, Angel Deradoorian played bass and sung in Dirty Projectors. She's since gone on to forge a solo career, not to mention a number of collaborations, including a... read more →

Packwood - Obstinate
Packwood - Obstinate
Sounds like: Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird
By Sarah Jukes on May 14, 2015 | Melbourne-based folk artist Packwood is releasing his debut album a little differently than most. Collectively, his debut album (called Vertumnus) is divided into four seasonal EP sections, where each new section is released on the first day of a new... read more →

Rebel Kites - Atlas Sky
Rebel Kites - Atlas Sky
Sounds like: Pocket Panda, Ben Howard, Lost in the Trees
By sean o on Apr 9, 2015 | Rebel Kites is a fitting name for a band that fell out of the sky and hit me on the head. I hyped a track by a duo called OHO when I first started writing for Indie Shuffle. Paul handled most of OHO's production. After roughly three years with minim... read more →

Andrew Judah - Better and Better
Andrew Judah - Better and Better
Sounds like: Radiohead, DM Stith, Sondre Lerche, Iron and Wine
By Sam McLoughlin on Oct 1, 2014 | I'm sorry to say this, but it's a reality: fall has come to the Northwest. Do what you need to do, let out a long sigh, shed a few tears, or put on something really moody, like this brand new and wonderfully epic, OK Computer-esque track from compose... read more →

Sea Stacks - Brutal Concrete / Scottish Wilderness
Sea Stacks - Brutal Concrete / Scottish Wilderness
Sounds like: Bon Iver, Stornoway, Sigur Ros
By Laurence Morgan on Jul 8, 2014 | London-based band Sea Stacks are self-defined as "orchestral indie," and would much rather give you tracks layered with harmonium than the rather more ubiquitous piano or guitar. Davy Berryman, founder and lead vocalist, has been working for nearly ... read more →
