Where Do You Want - Brilliant Beast

Brilliant Beast are a Minneapolis based band 'led by sibling dual-vocalists Hannah (vocals, guitar, violin) and Jordan Porter (vocals, guitar) and anchored by the breakneck rhythm section of Mark Kartarik (bass) and Eric Whalen (drums)'. They released their album 'Where Do You Want' a few days ago on my favourite Guilt Ridden Pop (thanks for all the fantastic submissions guys!). There are some shoegazey bits with a lot of fuzzy guitars, overall it's fairly easy listening with clear power-pop influences. Definitely worth giving them a listen, the catchy melodies will get stuck in your head so I expect that re-listening will be necessary. I probably already listened to my favourite track, 'Dead Man', a bit too much. You can stream and order the album on bandcamp .

Love Theme - Horse Head

Not long after releasing 'THE GREEN 1' Califoria based Chris Thorne aka Horse Head is back with new material on AMDISCS. Stylistically similar to the January album (even in terms of the cover art) the very short r'n'b-ish 'LOVE THEME' EP is very different from his earlier stuff. Give it a listen, name your price, and get in that mood.

Esteban - The Sunny Street

The Sunny Street, formed in 2006, are a twee band from London and this is the video for their newest track 'Esteban' from 'Sacred and Profane', their third, forthcoming album. Elusive female vocals filled with melancholy, my absolute weakness, seem to be perfect for late january nights (or, for me, any other time really). The discography can be found and bought on the Sunny Street's badcamp, including their recent single 'Cygnet' released on the christmas eve and band's last full length album 'Hidden for Decades', along with my personal favourite, track called 'Hit', which is bands first recording available on bandcamp.

Light Lunch - Heavy Deeds

Yet another thing to hear from Old Blackberry Way and another interesting project from Minneapolis I found out about in last few months. 'Light Lunch' is the title track from the debut 12" EP by Heavy Deeds, which is going to be the third release on their vinyl imprint (out early 2013), limited to 150 hand-screened copies, and, as usually, with design and printing by Casey Deming, whose works you can check out at aptlull.com. Band features members of Polica and Pony Trash (I wrote about their self-titled ep in october). Give a listen to their debut single with a very positive classic rock feel and catchy vocals.

Seconds Away - Las Robertas

Las Robertas are three piece band from San José, Costa Rica. They released their debut full-lenght album 'Cry Out Loud' (buy here) over 2 years ago and now they are back with a new single. 'Seconds Away' will be a part of a three-song 7" 'Dissected Affair' out later this year on Art Fag Recordings. Anyone who loves lo-fi indie female bands should be definitely excited for this.
