Shattered Darlings & Liquid Kisses - These Days (2012)

Bandcamp

8.8

/Shoegaze, Psychedelic rock, Alternative pop/rock, Dream pop/

Comment: it is the second single hailing from the group`s sophomore album You Know Me Well. More detailedly, some lingering psychedelic loops are interlaced with panoramic shoegaze-tinged expansions throughout the course of 202 seconds. However, the more you listen to it the more impressive it seems to be finally. So please give it a (repetitive) try.

Galaktlan - Rock Hotel (2012)

Bandcamp

8.8

/Electronica, Conceptual, Covers, Electronic pop, Downtempo, Poptronica/

Comment: it is a quite surprising delivery because electronic artist Taavi Laatsit aka Galaktlan (also known as Von Suck, and a member of Uni, Kismabande, and Kulgurid) has managed to interpret Estonian pop/rock juggernaut Rock Hotel`s tracks in its own way. However, it`s done now resulting in a glossy synthesized sheen and laid back, downtempo propulsions. In a word, the more you listen to it the more it will get opened up for you while bringing out value on its own. Pro.

The Velocity Raptors - I, Donna (2012)

Bandcamp

9.3

/Math rock, Post-rock, Art rock, Progressive rock, Alternative rock/

Comment: this pair of tracks comes out of Manchester, UK created by Sean Eoghan Buckley. He has made idiosyncratic job regarding an extraordinary blend of propelling art rock-ish guitar gears, and intricate progressive/technical/math rock templates. A tiny bit whimsical but steadily poignant instrumental outputs. Seems to be an dinosaur having the brain of the intellectual. In a word, it is a highly perspective one.

Out-Or - Analog Gentleman (2011)

Swishcotheque

9.2

/Tech-electro, Breaks, Robot pop, Jungle, Tech-house, Electro pop, Acid electro, Dub house, Club dance, Leftfield, Alternative/

Comment: Marko Sula aka Ataka aka Out-Or was being one of those producers/musicians with Lobsand Dorje, Hüpnosaurus, Von Suck, Flexus, Lu:k, Treee, Una Bomba who had been defining the Estonian underground electronica/dance music scene throughout the 90s. Although the time has passed by mercilessly his 11-track issue still consists of acid/cosmic electro and glossy robot-induced leftfield electronica propulsions, however, sometimes providing a spot on rattling jungle rhythms and laid back tech-house and dub house vibrations. Solid work.
