Pilate


Adored
Excellent limited edition 7" single, with equally impressive B side, from Norwegian group reminiscent of Lush


Joshua


Teardrop Trio
"Sincere " offering from post hardcore outfit who have somehow ended up "sounding like the Cure."


Laub


Filesharing
Satisfying ambient led techno release with a melancholic edge ffrom Kitty Yo label that "improves with each listen."

Sons Of The Pioneers


Symphonies Of The Sage
