The Curse of Company: Leo Magnets Joins a Gang [digital release] (Dangerbird)

The Curse of Company: Leo Magnets Joins a Gang [digital release] (Dangerbird) - The Curse of Company is a project of Australian singer/songwriter David Wiley Rennick (of Dappled Cities).  With support from members of Mr. Bungle, redsunhand and Gerling he crafts muted, psych tinged indie rock.  Dramatic reverb soaked vocals expound stories atop shadowed guitar / keyboard driven productions.  Recommended. 

Kristoffer Ragnstam: Wrong Size of the Room (Bluhammock)

Kristoffer Ragnstam: Wrong Size of the Room (Bluhammock) - The sophomore LP from Swedish singer-songwriter Kristoffer Ragnstam packs quite a punch. While lyrical tales of tortured characters struggle to cope, exceptionally seductive pop entwines the unsuspecting listener. Fuzzy guitars, effervescent rhythms, layered voices and restrained keys have a familiar yet refreshing sound. A recommended shot of quality indie pop.
