voyeur - "Spirit"

New York indie rockers Voyeur recently released their sophomore EP, the beguiling Something Becomes You. The EP wears its Sonic Youth-inspired sound on its sleeve but adds a unique spin. "Spirit" lends a dream-pop haze to an edgy bass-driven track, with coiled-up guitars ready to attack.

Kassie Krut - "Reckless"

Emerging from the ashes of late-great Philly experimental rockers Palm comes the new trio Kassie Krut. Kasra Kurt and Eve Alpert team up with producer Matt Anderegg for some industrial hyperpop shenanigans on their first single "Reckless." It's super catchy and subtlety menacing.

Boycomma - "MEOWING IN PUBLIC"

Emocore band Boycomma's latest EP, the emotionally cathartic Stress Starving, came out earlier this summer. I am really digging the intense track "MEOWING IN PUBLIC." 

Jabu - "Oceanside Spider House"

Bristol trio Jabu draws inspiration from early 4AD acts like Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, and Dif Juz on the hauntingly exquisite track "Oceanside Spider House." It can be found on their fascinating new album A Soft And Gatherable Star.

Hildegard - "Bach In Town"

Hildegard, the duo of Helena Deland and Ouri, has released their second album Jour 1596. "Bach In Town" is a delicate trip-hop track with whisper-lite voices layered over a minimal beat and chiming guitars.

October Drift - "Wallflower"

Anthemic alt-rock quartet October Drift has a sold record out now called Blame The Young.  Single "Wallflower" is a moving tribute to the introverts.
