The Swedish singer-songwriter Monica Tormell issued an interesting, 6-tracks album recorded on Curacao, in Amsterdam and far out of urban noise in the countryside of Sweden somewhere. She was using instruments like the tambu drum, steeldrums, clavé sticks and the Swedish zither, balancing mainly between slowcore tunes and dark-hued pop.

Nikoo Friends & Family (Beep! Beep! Back Up The Truck)

After their self-titled debut issue being involved in high-voltage noise pop with one very chart potential-related track (You`ve Got A Strange Effect On You) the 5-piece combo from Eindhoven, the Netherlands threw gasoline into the flames and their brand new exclamation is ready to haunt upon new victims. Indeed, the 7-track album yearns for more sonic abundance, approximating to the 80`s huge names like Pixies, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Dinosaur Jr, Catherine Wheel and My Bloody Valentine (however, the shades of Loveless can be detected for as well). Don`t be misunderstood - despite of famous names suggested here the record is a very feature one. Rough yet variable rhythms, at times doo wop-alike vocal shimmers and simple yet straightforwardly hitting call and responses, raunchy, towering exultation-realized guitar feedbacks, and nihilistic electronic-based endings. It sounds like a thunderstorm rolling over you, however, not hurting you (except your ears, of course). In any cases, if your preferations are keen for such contemporary groups like A Place To Bury Strangers, This Lonely Crowd, and Moon Runners, this music is thought for you. However, it is strongly recommended.

My Bubba & Mi How it`s done in Italy (Beep! Beep! Back Up The Track)

Kord elanud Taani, Rootsi ning Islandi neidis ühes Kopenhaageni üürikorteris. Tüdrukud kukkunud koos musitseerima ning siin nad nüüd on - My, Bubba & Mi (tüdrukute nimed- nimelühendid).

Albumi tiitel on tulnud sellest, et kord kuulnud üks itaallasest baariomanik kolmikut kusagil lokaalis musitseerimas, armunud muusikasse ning kutsunud nad Itaaliasse plaati salvestama.

Oma debüütalbumit - lisaks Hollandi leiblile Beep! Beep! Back Up To The Truck on see ka reliisitud Jamendo`s ning Bandcamp`is - on nad nimetanud "kussutuslauludeks maalt". Mitte üksnes seetõttu, et muusika on salvestatud kusagil Lõuna-Itaalia maalilise looduse keskel, vaid ka seetõttu, et žanriliselt tiireldakse country- ning selle moodsate alternatiivide vahel ja ümber. 10 lugu on peaasjalikult vaikusest ning hillitsetud helipildist lugu pidavad, olemata seejuures kuumusest rammestatud. Kitarrid, ukuleled ja suupillid. Rokkivamatesse lugudesse on ka orelid kaasatud (Really Really, Satisfied Mind). Põhielemendiks on siiski tüdrukute õhuline ja unistuslik laulumaneer. Võimalik, et võrdlus kuulsamate sugulushingedega ütleb isegi rohkem - Joanna Newsom, Cherice Cosentino, Jaeme Newton, Shelby Sifers.
