Wet Wings - Skin to Soil
Similar to: Twin Sister, Wild Nothing, We Are Trees, Beach House Chilled out dream pop from new zealand, that’s what Wet Wings’ music sounds like. Folky songs, with stretched out vocals in the backgrounds and lovely synths. Wet Wings’ EP Skin to Soil is perfect for a sunny day, but equally as nice for the rainy afternoon. Highly recommended. <a...

Miners of Pala
Similar to: My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive First of all, this is not at all chillwave. It doesn’t even sound like it! This is shoegaze/dream pop. And it’s damn good, too good to not share. Miners of Pala is Blake Clee from rural Australia. He’s currently recording from home, but as soon as Blake can get some studio time and some decent band mates, Miners of Pala will record an...

GDC - Jours Avec Jennie
A quirky and very charming piece of lo-fi bedroom pop from the mind of Zach Phillips (also a member of Blanche Blanche Blanche). If you like John Maus or Ariel Pink’s you’ll dig GDC as well. While not as strange as the other two, GDC creates a piece of very sincere music that tilts and lurches in unpredictable ways. Buy the limited run cassette here from Alchemist Records, I know I...

Teams - Dxys Xff
Following in the vein of posting “things that aren’t chillwave but pretty fucking rad even if we are a chillwavvin’ blog” I present the newest (not totally new but p new anyways) Teams LP - “Dxys Xff”. A glitchy lo-fi piece of nostalgia, beats, and swirlin’ noise from this awesome LA based producer (artist?).  Check it out if you like Star Slinger...

VEKTROID - HE WANTED TO READ THE MIND OF GOD
Similar to: Boards of Canada, Com Truise American producer VEKTROID released a great, ambient-like track. It starts with a beautiful bit-crushed piano loop, that seems to be inspired by Radiohead’s Codex. The track continues with a drumbeat that wouldn’t be entirely out of place on a Boards of Canada track and an arpeggiated synthesizer that hints at the influences of chillwave. It...

The Rare Plants Garden - The Rare Plants Garden
Similar to: Bibio, Nienvox The Rare Plants Garden are 813 (Alexander Goryachev) and nienvox (Alexander Yefimov), both active in Moscow’s electronic music scene. They released an excellent, self-titled, EP on 12rec, back in february this year. Don’t expect busy songs, with lots of quick synth bleeps and bloops, this is not the stuff 813 usually releases. It’s something else...
