Bell Monks – Lullabies (2011)


Lastfm



/Alternative pop, Americana, Dream pop, Avant-pop, Experimental indie, Post-pop/

Comment: the Wisconsin-based collective Bell Monks` 12-track issue is a contemplative, beatific insight through indie/dream pop alternative pop pathways. The album deserves its name – it sways between oneiric and hyper-realistic, between fictive and ideal world. It can readily represent the time after the pop charts are lost their mind. In a word, it is an example of the so-called ideal pop where experimental tendencies are craftily adopted into pop structures. The album is filled with outstanding examples and presenting no weak tracks meanwhile.        


Bear Coat – Black Hills (2014)




/Indie pop, Electronic pop, Alternative pop, Baroque pop/

Comment: Dublin, Ireland-based collective Bear Coat`s single Black Hills sounds in an intriguing way – its main template is based on the so-called renaissance indie pop (Real Estate, for instance) filled with gentle and mellow harmonies, however, being variegated with partly vocodered vocal lines and exuberant orchestrations. It is a contemporary sonorous counterpoint to fairy tales. The result is fairly marvellous.      

Nomsei - Epos of Loneliness (2014)




/Post-rock, Post-metal, Crossover, Baroque pop, Epic, Alternative pop, New Age, Art pop/

Comment: by listening to this 8-track album it can insist that loneliness is a beautiful quality on its own. In spite of some presumptively depressive titles the whole is an exemplar of wide-range beauty whose focus is spotted upon different even disparate directions or using multi-coloured canvas – from majestic post-rock tumult and suggestive post-metal progressions and mind-blowing baroque pop whiffs to more contemplative arpeggio-centred guitar compositions and wide-screen panoramas revelatory of ambient/New Age music and hinting at intriguing electronic fringes. Furthermore, there are even up some references to flamenco music which is not surprising at all because of the artist comes out of Spain. However, frequently the aforementioned elements are seamlessly mixed up. All in all, it is one of the albums in 2014.
