San Diego-based Inspired & the Sleep are a trio of lifeguards, a profession of fluctuating excitement and lulls. Weeks could go by without someone needing to be rescued, or an abrupt riptide could find their jobs absolutely essential. Any downtime is used wisely, at least by Inspired & the Sleep. These guys have a tendency of writing songs while staring out into the blue abyss.

On Further Review by Julie Stoller new from Winterpills HAUNTING, BEAUTIFUL NEW MUSIC - On Winterpills’ fifth full length release, All My Lovely Goners ( Signature Sounds ), the Northampton chamber-pop quintet build on their strong foundation of traditional ‘60s folk influences, to craft a softly-flowing, richly textured celebration of the human experience. By virtue of guitarist Philip Price and keyboardist Flora Reed’s closely-knit vocal harmonies, they bring to mind the gentle harmonies of Simon and Garfunkle (especially evident on “Minxy”). Flora takes the lead in “The Sun Is Alone,” beginning in a quiet way with her delicate whispery voice, which is ...

Dinosaur Eyelids - 21 Gram Salute Do you remember the feeling that snuck up on you the first time you got high?  You know – “what the fuck is happening?” quickly followed by, “Where is my mind going?” and the ever popular, but unstoppable, “Why am I so damn hungry all of a sudden?”.  Yah, that feeling.  Only, this time it’s called déjà “VU’s”.  Reach for the Doritos mate.  Welcome to Dinosaur Eyelids. I love it when a new song leaps off the player and slaps my eardrums silly.  These Joisee natives got it goin’ on (what the hell is ...

If we've become preprogrammed to a large extent to all too often merely hock up scarcely reconfigured regurgitations of meticulously scribed press releases, no such exercise may be applied to Swiss Alps  purely as there's next to no information available. Anywhere. They're to release a four-track EP at some point next month on Pyramid Lake , while their Bandcamp tags suggest they originate from Pennsylvania and that they're keen on maintaining an outwardly lo-fi aesthetic. From here on however the music's left to do the talking, while we attempt to do the hyping: following on from ...

DIY Radio: Into The Blogosphere (16th January 2012) by Diy on Mixcloud — This week’s Into the Blogosphere was completely spoilt for choice. Several hundred tracks appeared in our inboxes and on the web over the past two weeks; it was just my job to pick each individual ‘real gem’ out of the fountain of fool’s gold. Not only were we given astounding returning efforts from Grimes and Frankie Rise , La Sera and John Talabot , but we also had a fresh array of new talent lining up to impress us. Fun Adults , Granit , Swiss Alps are all essential listens ...

Swiss Alps : Riptide Lore Nothing is known about these Pennsylvania guitar pop merchants, aside from the fact that ‘ Riptide Lore ’ was put up on bandcamp as a means of “snagging” the band name (and it’s a sweet band name, I agree). The song itself is the vital ingredient for a perfect day; gorgeous guitar lines shift in and out of tune mercilessly, as hushed vocals swelter in the background. Now excuse me as I take to the slopes with this playing in my ears (note: I’ve never been skiing. I would probably prefer skydiving).

RipTide, Tommie Sunshine and Bart B More..if those three heavyweight names combined (under the guise of Horsepower) is enough to make … Continue reading »
