I've been sitting on this one for more than a month now, and am happy to finally be able to get around to sharing it.
Slow Pulp's "At Home" doesn't break any new ground with its sound -- it just happens to pull off a fairly-well-established sound wi...

The west coast group Sjowgren has put out another mysteriously sexy single. "Beginners" makes a home for itself with thudding guitar and vocal harmonies that gallup in the distance. Synths sputter and float under the lead singer's humming.
The track...

I absolutely love the tempo of this song. It evokes a wonderfully upbeat summer vibe -- perfect for the nearly 30C temperature we've got in Cape Town right now.
Hear The Taste is from Boise, Idaho. Back in July I spent a few nights there and it, lik...

Way back in August of 2015 a band called sjowgren (try pronounce that, right?) released a song called "Seventeen" that I really, really liked.
Flash forward more than two years and they've managed to whip another one out of the hat that struck a cho...

I'm pretty sure I fell for this track of its melody alone. The style and instrumental approach isn't necessarily unique, but.. yeah.. it all just comes together with such a raw and sort of Strokes-y vibe that I can't help but enjoy it every time I li...

It didn't take long for Montreal-based Le Trouble to win me over with their brand of in-your-face indie rock. It captures a raw and simultaneously intricate approach to a super-saturated genre, and in doing so manages to stand above the rest as a son...

There's a fair bit of buzz going on about a new band called Yuma X and their cover of Ghoul's "Swimming Pool." Lots of people are blogging it, but the more I listen to it the more bored I get.
So, I decided to see what the original was all about. An...

Redspencer might not have a Twitter account as of my writing this, but they've certainly left their imprint in Australia. Having played support to the likes of Holy Holy and The Preatures, it only makes sense that the trio make their Indie Shuffle de...
