Computer Magic is this girl writing electropop on her laptop in one of those attic bedrooms with lights and lanterns strung across the ceiling and this poster on the wall. Maybe i made part (all) of that up, but it’ll fit once you hear the tracks. Her 2010 EPs are filled with odd and understated disco beats with vocals that sound like films of old vacations. Check her out.
Catchy little electropop number from NYC duo Holy Ghost!. Next month they’re touring with LCD Soundsystem and Hot Chip in support of their debut EP Static on the Wire. I see big things in the future for these guys – best get it while it’s fresh.
Baltimore’s “post-wave” trio Future Islands recently released their In the Fall 12″ as a precursor to their upcoming full-length album In Evening Air (slated for a May release). Bringing new-wave, dreampop, and electro elements together with simple pop sensibility, they’ve cultivated a deep, almost nostalgic sound. This track makes me think they should’ve been touring with the Cocteau Twins rather than Dan Deacon.
It’s taken me a little while to digest Neon Indian‘s Psychic Chasms (2009). This is strange, considering that the other two heavy-hitters riding the “chillwave”…wave were instant loves for me (them being Washed Out and Toro y Moi). That changed in the last week or so when this track really started resonating with me. Suddenly, the entire album made sense. Highly recommended listening.
Buy Psychic Chasms
Last year, producer Grahm Zilla teamed up online with MC Isis to bring us a single album filled with pleasantly nasty electropop. Slow Roll is a minimalistic ghettotech beast that shows off Thunderheist‘s talent both on the mic and behind the laptop. Hey, I guess MySpace is still good for something.
