9.0 

/Alt-folk, Folk indie, Experimental indie, Power pop, Lo-fi, Alternative rock, Art-folk/


Comment: Dirtman is the trio consisting of Dan Jircitano, April Brennan, and Arthur Bond coming out of Rochester, USA. They provide a little lopsided folk music (with the seeds of brass, lo-fi rock, uncompromising indie attitude, faery pop glimpses, power pop developments) being assisted by a numerous amount of collaborators. However, the paralleles can be drawn upon such artists as those ones being related with the Elephant Six.

/Electro pop, 8-bit, Tracker music, Crossover, Alternative dance/ 

Comment: this set of 10 tracks is a crossover album which is overlaid with the frequencies of (at times catchy) electro pop and sawtooth-shaped 8-bit/tracker music. Consequently, the album used to create temperate sort of mood.

/Mixtape, Experimental electronica, Noise, Conceptual, Sound collage, Cut and paste, Avant-electronica, Organic electronica, Musique concrète/  

Comment: you can call this album "compilation" or "mixtape" which consists of different tracks by various artists. Indeed, it chimes very good because of being interlaced seamlessly with each other. Secondly, there are represented lots of genres which used to variegate this lengthy "track" (36 minutes), more profoundly, being composed of lush electronica, more rhythm-relied propulsions, and noiseful appearences at the ending part of the whole.

/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)

Bandcamp

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.
