Perfume Genius - Queen



Perfume Genius is the moniker for Seattle musician Mike Hadreas. “Queen” is the lead single from his third album, Too Bright, set to be released in September later this year. A beautiful, sprawling ballad, “Queen” is grandiose and at the same time dangerous. From the massive drum sound to the anthemic synths. The music video is also equally as spectacular.

Susanna / Jenny Hval - I Have Walked This Body



Jenny Hval is a Norwegian musician who releases alternative pop music under the name rockettothesky. Susanna is a fellow Norwegian musician who releases alternative pop music. “I Have Walked This Body” is a haunting, gothic vocal, noise extravaganza. Layered wonderfully with coats of static, noise and beautiful, ethereal harmonies.

Merchandise - Enemy



Merchandise are a three piece formed in Florida around 2008. With two albums now under their belt, “Enemy” is the single from their upcoming record titled After The End. The track is built on an acoustic motif, which sounds like Cornershop covering the Rolling Stones’ “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction.” Carlson Cox’s croon is part Morrissey, part Brett Anderson. A smooth, psychedelic, brit-pop track.

Radiator Hospital - Cut Your Bangs



Radiator Hospital is a project centered around the talented Sam Cook-Parrott, who are set to release their second album titled Torch Song. “Cut Your Bangs” is a catchy power pop offering which revels in its own simplicity. The chorus is what indie immortality is made of.
