Barthol Lo Mejor - Molotov Spray Tan (2012)
8.8
/Electro pop, Alternative dance, Electroclash/
Comment: approximately 3 moths ago BLM, the Estonian "popdada" artist (since the mid of 00`s in the offing) had issued 2 EP`s (Jet Set Rebels, Molotov Spray Tan) simultaneously. The latter one consists of 4 tracks which includes suggestive electro pop progressions having reference points to some disco vibes and electroclash-esque convulsive hooks. More concretely, it used to propel somehow like an instance of electro pop being influenced by the aesthetics of rock music.
Antoine Reverb - A Revolt of Sorts (2010)
9.2
/Alternative, Experimental indie, Remixes, Art-pop, Post-psychedelic electronica/
Comment: Antoine Reverb is an Arts & Crafts, well-known Canadian indie records-related combo who offer up a batch of 6 tracks which are basically overlied with dreamy keyboards and beatific guitar dust which is accompanied by uplifting, psychedelic drumming dashes. One track is covered by Apache O`Raspi, the compatriots of AR coming out from Mexico. The version by Apache is a fabulous, exotica pop, Latin vibes-tinged voyage.
N-Qia - Haze EP (2012)
9.2
/Chamber pop, Indietronica, Folktronica, Alternative, Electronic pop, Crossover/
Comment: this 3-piece issue involves some rough, heavy punching rhythms, fairy female vowel effects, lofty violin chords and bulging orchestrations thus making up enough magic-filled reciprocal moments. In a word, the whole is an astonishing one which can be compared with the likes of Efterklang, Bed., mùm, Bjork, Amiina. So you can breathe to these sounds made up by the Japanese musical project.

Cerebral Pain - Um Jarro De Flores À Janela (2009)
8.8
/Tango, Instrumental music, Mood music/
Comment: Cerebral Pain is a musical project from Covilha, Portugal who provide 13 tracks extended out over a little more than one hour. All these instrumental compositions are played on an accordion (or a bandoneòn) conjuring up tango melodies and grooves. At times the play of the accordion is adorned with the fingerpicking of a guitar and the whiffs of a flute. In the first place the album used to be a little doleful full of chord changes and moody paths. Pleasant.
Captain Missouri - Ordinary Pinecone Tricks (2012)
8.8
/Lo-fi, Anti-folk, DIY, Primitive pop, Singer-songwriter, Psychedelic folk, Blues, Primitronica/
Comment: Captain Missouri (also being known as a half of Brain) hints at the blues tradition which is mixed up with noiseful, even primitivistic guitar twangs and acute, rattling drums. Throughout the course CM exploits lots of electronic devices and manipulates with knobs thereby making up feedback-laden sonic labyrinths. At Sandbox; Children Play Nicely the soundscape gets evolved into a mesmerizing, psychedelic ditty.
The Olsen Twinns - it's okay because some people still love each other EP (2012)
9.0
/Chillwave, Alternative, Post-psychedelic electronica, Lo-fi, Leftfield, DIY, Poptronica, Avant-pop, Glo-fi, Post-pop, Experimental indie, Dream pop/
Comment: there are up a handful of tracks spreaded out over 20 minutes. It comprises blissful, a little bit dopey electro pop/poptronica with serious attitude of indie/alternative pop. Indeed, these ditties are blissed-out, yet, somehow warped, otherworldly ones which resemble of Scott Walker, Animal Collective, David Sylvian and other obscure pop artists now and then. However, Chering Is Caring reveals the combo`s love affair with Cher.
