Here’s a few new creations I recently stumbled across that I’ve yet to fully form an opinion on beyond a few words.

Bedroom – Toys EP
Noah Kittinger says of his Toys EP, “I wrote these songs in a time of depression and it really helped me get through it all.” Couple that with his bedroom style recordings, shoegaze-y nature and you’ve got yourself a recipe for a delightfully melancholy little audio journey.

Moped Sally – Cadaver
Honestly, I was initially drawn in by this bands prior release, Pretentious Garbage, a much weirder collection of sound collages and experimental electronic meanderings. However, Cadaver is more recent and shows leanings toward more traditional pop song structure but with the weirdness learned from the prior releases intermingled quite nicely.

What Up, English – The Vaughn Sessions
Remember when I told you about these guys EP Das Scuba? Well, imagine the energy level and enjoyability of those songs but recorded better. It’s a nice progression from the earlier release and I hope these guys continue to play around town with great regularity.

Ranch Ghost
“New News” 7″
7″ Vinyl

Before we even touch on the music of Ranch Ghost I would like to state the superficial observation that their band name and logo treatment are among the best in the city. Ultimately meaningless? Maybe. But still worth putting out there. The new 7″ won’t actually ship out until mid-March but you can enjoy the lo-fi garage-y surfy duo of tracks to your hearts content right now.
