pleasing to the ear.

the dance inc. _ those who sleep on roads ...interwoven indie & electronica. bland coherent!

black rebel motorcycle club _ got no right ...low-end, acoustic. just brilliant.

laurent bourque _ all you beautiful girls ...laid-back indiepop from montreal, quebec.

television keeps us apart _ parents house in `99 ...surely don`t keep me apart.

grizzly bear _ slow life (with victoria legrand) ...slow, different, almost otherworldly.

magic wands _ warrior (the xx remix) ...spheric cool rhythmic light.

freschard _ i must be looney ...french lonely coolness meets warped guitar accords.

spc eco _ telling you (tim holmes elo rub mix)
... odds-on favorite momentary. exploding. catchy. psychodelic. shoegaze. expands with its electronic fixings.

thrushes _ love song ...adorable shoegaze/dreampop.

the big pink _ love in vain ...a melancholy bath. how charming female cover ornament! purely esthetic perfection of love cravings and desire!

shout out louds _ too late, too slow ...smooth outro touching elements.

bonus diagram: hindi zahra _ set me free
...female moroccan music artist. worthy of mention.

listen to the radio...

stop! not to the commercial radio stations but to radio dept. radio dept is a 3-piece indie pop band from lund, sweden. founded in 1995 the band had 3 lps and a few eps so far. their sound is based on dreaming shoegaze tunes mixed up with catchy pop tunes with influences of the pet shop boys, sonic youth and velvet underground. if you are familiar with those bands, you might have noticed, that the bands sound is widely spreaded. you may actually describe there sound as deamgazers or something like that. here are some of there (in my opinion) catchiest songs:

where damage isn't already done


david


i don't need love, i've gote my band (download with left klick)



and here is a more depressive but also great song. something for great moments in bed...

i wanted you to feel the same


as bonus: here is a great suggestion from coast is clear blog. television keeps as apart is a band which sounds clearly like the radio dept. listen for yourself, cause you can download the whole album for free here.
