Ayumu (leader of the Japanese ecletic indie band, the 4 Bonjour’s Parties) already has made some strange duo beside his main band. The first, the Tailor Made A Small Room („changeable-indie-psychedelic-minimal-toy-chamber-electronica-folk-pop”) moved to Australia. There he formed the Deux Doux („twee pop/ exotica-bedroom”) with a French girl. The third is the We Are Loud Whispers with Yu from the psych-folk-pop Arthur & Yu. They assembled over emails sent between Seattle and Tokio.

Mordecai – Rety from College Rock LP by TestosterTunes

Their first album is free.

Teresa Maldonado is a Texan singer/songwriter. „Drawing influences from her perennial favourites the darkly gothic Bauhaus, as well as Natacha Atlas’ exotic Mish Maoul, the black metal of Venom.” The songs were composed on her much loved piano which was tuning last time in 1992. She plays eclectic haunted folk under Georgia’s Horse moniker.

I didn’t wait very hard garage rock from Mikal Cronin (Charlie and The Moonheart, Epsilons, Party Fowl, Okie Dokie, Ty Segall), but in the first minutes I was surprised. Sha-la-la guitar pop. But I looked up suddenly several times during the listening – Hey, it’s good! And I listened it three times.

from MCII LP by Merge Records. Hear the full album here 

Papeye – Tennis LP

Mainly instrumental indie hard rock from France. The members are great musicians, for example the drummer, JB plays in the Magic Barbecue and Pneu too. (Both of them were in rnr666 party already.) The sound is similar to Deerhoof (I love) and Don Caballero (I don’t like). I miss the vocals very much. I don’t like this style, it’s too math for me, but there are very good minutes! I like the dirty literary garage rock. Sorry.

Seal Of Quality – Life Hacks LP

Funny French 8 bit electro pop. There are heavy nintendo sounds and thrash metal riffs mixed with synth pop feelings. I was astonished when I known that the SOQ is a one man band. I thought that is a trio.
