Mister Lies

Mister lies is a young producer/philosophy student based in Chicago. This stuff is really smooth and beautiful. Exceedingly chill and elegant. Very very inspired by UK dubstep (the good kind of Dubstep, like Burial, et al). He's picked some catchy enough, just melancholic enough samples, which make for a chilled out, fun and slightly sad vibing out experience. This is really great.

Savages

Savages are a fucking amazing new band from London. It's really brutal post-punk. A bit of Joy Division, a bit of psycho-billy and a lot of driving, harsh guitar. They play with a lot of fire too, which is unusual for such a young band. London has so much amazing music coming out of it (always has). It's great to see the scene rocking out more recently in addition to all those electronic artists...

Peaking Lights - Lucifer

Peaking Lights recently came out with this gem of an album. You can listen to the entire thing above. It's a little different from their previous album --- more head-bobby, more trippy, more down-tempo. You feel like your in the clouds a lot. Tasteful simple song-writing.
