Washington DC’s Paperhaus may call themselves “psychedelic blues funk/dream pop” but don’t let that mislead you. They are neither your mom’s funk band or your sister’s tumblr dream pop band. In 2011 Paperhaus put out their self titled 4 track album recorded “live in the studio,” as stated on their band camp. Despite the many cringe-worthy recorded...
420 Love songs is a tumblr-based project half-heartedly labeled as “like the Magnetic Fields but not as good”. The project started out as a song-diary of sorts for the insanely prolific Sam Ray (Julia Brown, Teen Suicide, Ricky Eat Acid, Heroin Party) but has since grown into a more collaborative project from Sam’s various internet companions.

The debut album from Athens musician, Jacob Morris, Moths, displays a level of comfort and refreshingly honest depth well beyond that of most “new kids” in the music world. Perhaps because Morris isn’t exactly new to this; he’s got a roster a mile long of experiences playing with many of the heavy hitters in the Athens music scene,...

James detours drastically from the larger than life sounds that have become such an identifying part of My Morning...

The Capsules, a dream pop trio out of Lawrence, Kansas, have just released their fourth album, Northern Lights & Southern Skies, (available at the band’s website in CD and digital format), and it’s a real aural treat.
