Lizard Kisses - Water Tap (2012)



9.4


/Indie pop, Exotica pop, Tropical pop, Alternative, Art pop/

Comment: still fabulous Brooklynites Cory Siegler and Marc Merza make music which is a tiny bit deviated from their artsy and intimate/restrained folk music on this particular track. They are assisted by Jordan Lee (vocals), and Andrew Morehart (drums) therefore rocking a little more off and having somewhat more exotic flavour than in an usual case. More detailedly, it chimes like an instance of pleasing Hawaii-tinged indie/tropical pop full of bouncy guitar hooks, sultry feeling and assuasive vocal harmonies overhead. The single is taken out of their 7" split issue with Crystal Dorval`s one-man-project My Friend Wallis (from Victoria, Canada).

Luno - Disbelief (2011)



9.5

/Dream folk, Experimental folk, Dark folk, Singer-songwriter, Alternative, Noir folk/

Comment: I truly adore this set of 3 tracks which contains 2 versions of the eponymous track, and Three Breaths To A Swing in addition to itHowever, it stylistically takes on dream folk and neofolk blended outlets based on dreamy synth reveries, anguished vocal delivery and strumming acoustic guitar magic. Because of being the first in a series of singles from Luno`s forthcoming record Precipice I recommend to listen to the album (released in 2012) as well.
