2494542122-1No Favors EP by Shady Elders   (Denver, Colorado)

 

It’s time to cozy up to your computer, turn off the lights, snuggle in. Are you ready? It’s time for some sweet and melodic shoegaze that’s sure to send you off into your daily routine calm and composed. Shady Elders’ No Favors EP, features ‘Summer Song’, the very track that best suits these qualities. It’s female driven vocals, delivered by Britt Rodemich,  are like the cherry on top of this dreampop sundae. Her voice is reminiscent of a 60′s girl group leader that is able to tug on your emotions, making the mascara start to smear from your eyes. It’s not that your sad. You just find what your listening to remarkably beautiful and getting a little misty eyed just comes with the territory. @LeahLovecat

West Coast Bros

rsz_balue‘West Coast Bros‘ by Balue   (Denver, CO)

 

It is well below freezing in Colorado today. The slopes are probably packed with droves of people in puffy jackets and scarves wound round their faces. It’s no wonder Denver’s Balue is dreaming of a warm, sunny coastline. Whether you’re steps away from a hot beach or huddled next to the steam pipe in your basement apartment, the track will make you squint at the sun glaring off of the bright, blue water. The darker bass line of this surf pop single will bring you back to reality, though, so you’ll probably want to check out their earlier releases. [Free Music] @AshleyCanino

The Easy Sun

The Easy Sun by Sea States   (Denver, CO)

When discussing “chill-wave” or “dream-pop” or “cloud-rock”, my empirical senses seem to be overwhelmed by a mixed bag of emotions, spurred by epic moments that expand into space.  Coincidentally, it isn’t proficiency, or even ability that makes me stop and pay attention with these genres, it it purely the ability to draw connections between traditional structures (the things I subconsciously know and am attracted too) and modern timbres (the things that make me think my choice is contemporary).  Enter, The Easy Sun.  Dingus

Come Here

‘Come Here’ by Gold Water   (November 14, 2011)

Ukulele music has a bad reputation for attempted assimilation and though ‘Come Here’ isn’t anything strikingly inventive for the instrumentation, what it is is wonderfully charming.  With a stripped down sound and a focus on love-lost vocal melodies, Gold Water’s demo is an early look into the groups future plans.
