Go Home Robot - Safe in the City
Tension and release. Theme and variation. Rhythm and pitch. I went to music college in New Orleans with VJ Hyde. Books and pens. We met across the street from Cafe DuMonde. Beignets and coffee. His hair was dyed red, his eyes were as wide as Decatur street. Tourists and hobos. I am a cynical dude; I thought his zeal for life was just a side effect of a Saturday night in the French Quarter. It was not. I didn’t make any friends during my first semester at college, I made good grades. Dork and nerd. Then, I met VJ. Grades plummeted and love for life skyrocketed. Butlers and snakes. We moved to Chicago together in 2001. The night we arrived, someone broke into our truck and stole all his stuff. Guitars and amps. Many years have passed, many things have happened, his band made a great record. Candles and Bombs. From: http://rockproper.com/go-home-robot/candles-and-bombs.html

The Sun - So Long, Sundays
What happens when a band with a major record label deal tosses it away and puts everything on the line in a bold move to return to their independent roots? The answer in the case of the rock band The Sun is simple: they create a masterpiece album.

Wiretree - Satellite Song
It’s not that Wiretree haven’t been praised by other publications and blogs; it’s just that they haven’t received the wider exposure their music deserves. The blog, Absolute Powerpop, writes that Luck retains the band’s "signature sound yet broadens it to point where I could see the intelligentsia of indie rock and the poobahs at Pitchfork giving it a thumbs up if they take the time to check it out."

Vetiver - Everyday
Tight Knit is the fourth full-length album from Vetiver, singer/songwriter Andy Cabic’s ever-evolving musical home base. Luminous and surprising, Tight Knit unfolds like a road trip down Highway 1, towards Cabic’s home in San Francisco. It represents a summation of the different styles and directions heard on past Vetiver releases, while it introduces some unexpected twists. Recorded in Sacramento at The Hangar and in LA at Melva, Tight Knit was produced by longtime Vetiver collaborator Thom Monahan. Vetiver’s songs have been described as “dreamy, gentle songs that George Harrison would have written in some sunny country garden.” Happily, that element remains alive and well on Tight Knit, as evidenced in songs like album opener “Rolling Sea” and “Everyday.” The album also introduces new aspects of the band’s sound with the light bop of “Sister” and “On the Other Side,” and the faraway and ethereal “Down from Above” and “At Forest Edge.” Tight Knit is layered and rich, with subtleties and nuances that reveal themselves with repeated listening. While there’s also more immediate gratification than on past Vetiver releases, Tight Knit is an album that rewards your attention.
