2muchachos - Vesnywki!! EP (2012)
9.3
/Dream pop, Organcore, Dreamwave, Post-pop, Hypnagogic pop, Poptronica, Experimental indie, Alternative/
Comment: 2muchachos is a wonder ensemble from Russia who provide their brand new one containing elusive looming and blissed-out vistas played on vintage analogue synths, guitars, and programmed sequences. By kindred souls the combo can be compared with the likes of Memoryhouse, Beach House, and The Bilinda Butchers. Undoubtedly one of the best musical groups all around the world. And it can be taken for gospel truth.
Daw Nusk - Hunter Gatherer (2012)
9.4
/Ambient, Soundscapes, Minimalism, Avant-garde, Post-rock, Shoegaze, Organic electronica/
Comment: this release by Todd Klempner involves a handful of lengthy compositions made up of the pulsations of Earth, our home planet, slightly psychedelic panoramas and broad ambiances surrounding the human being on the countryside. However, because of being slowly growing while staying majestic the compositions seem to be highly epic and even touched with ritualistic whiffs which in turn are embellished with the croaks of seagulls and flickering humidity located against the background of a picturesque scale. Furthermore, at times, at the time of its most exulting moments it used to reach the borders of post-rock and shoegaze.
Imperial Tiger Orchestra - Live at the OCCII 20/11/2009 (2012)
9.2
/Afrobeat, Psychedelic pop, Improvised music, Live session, World music/
Comment: TIO is a collective from Switzerland who has managed to get the spot upon a blend of afrobeat-esque grooves and psychedelic vibes. Of course, now and then it used to buck further, incorporating the elements of Orient-driven ethnic themes. More concretely, instrumentally lofty tube sections are interlaced with dashing drum sequences and vibrant electric organs. Moody and dance music as the main parts of the whole are represented there simultaneously.

Summertime's End - Light And Colour (2012)
8.9
/Chamber pop, Indie pop, Electronic pop, Baroque pop, Alternative pop/
Comment: these 10 pieces are moody revealations introduced with the chords of a piano and backed up with chiming synths, galvanized guitars and mellow vocal lines. It is a little melancholic and sad like the end of summertime, though, on the other side, having managed to be full of hopes and refreshing air. Throughout the course some tracks reveal themselves in a little bit simplistic, cheesy way, the other ones used to be more treated, sophisticated contemplations. However, the eminent tracks used to be Light And Colour, Airport Dreams, Until Blue Skies Return, and There`s Room On My Trolley For Two.
