mouse on the keys ~ Machinic Phylum
Japan’s mouse on the keys possesses an instantly recognizable sound: hard piano playing accompanied by hard drumming, with slightly subtler bass accents (also played on the keyboards). The band plays jazz for those who don’t usually like jazz, frequently laying an accessible

We Are the Wooden Houses ~ Halloween Haarp/Island of Death
Stephen Benson, half of Hills! Werewolves! Run!, is also half of We Are the Wooden Houses, but the two groups sound totally different from one another. The former takes post-rock as its starting point, while the latter delves into psych, raga

Evan Caminiti ~ Dreamless Sleep
It’s amazing what can happen to us in a year. Something we did twelve months ago can mean something entirely different or fail to resonate with us today. Such a gap in time is what allowed Evan Caminiti to take
