For fans of shoegaze-y, space-y rock; spend some time with the demonstration recordings from A D O R E. There’s no vocals, just instrumental tracks that sound like they may be directly inspired by Failure and their ilk.Â
V to Z “Sour Mouthâ€
Joshua Moore continues his song-a-month exploration as V to Z with this new track “Sour Mouth.†It’s interesting to go back to the first full batch and hear how the focus of instrumentation has changed over the past year.Â

JOTA ESE – PAID IN STEAK or:Â "I Didn’t Make My Way to the Top of the Food Chain to be a Vegetarian"
In what may be the wordiest album title since Fiona Apple made her mark in 1999, Jota Ese returns with an album of laid back, tripped out hip-hop.Â
Elite Geographic – Computer Creative
I am firm believer that album art is a legitimate tool for enticing new listeners into your music. It certainly sets the stage for the music within and, if compelling enough, can garner completely virgin interest. These are obvious statements.
Such is the case with Elite Geographic’s vaporwave EP, Computer Creative. I knew immediately what to expect and it delivers. It’s a drugged out, ambient soundscape that pulls heavily from the genre’s primary structures.
