[Bardeaux]

[PureLife]

Jaguar Love. After the Blood Brothers broke up the lead singers each started their own projects. Jaguar Love is my fav.

 

[Infinite Jest]

I'm digging Beach House, especially their most recent album.

Best Coast are a fun update of 60s girl groups, which is always a good thing.

Phosphorescent is good if you like Americana.

Frightened Rabbit: Scottish indie-pop

Fanfarlo: Swedish indie with a trace of folk pop.

 

[tribal girl]

^+1 for Beach House and Best Coast.

 

[tribal girl]

The Organ

Well, I remember seeing them in an episode of The L Word quite a few years ago and falling in love with their sound. However, it was only recently that I found out what they were called and everything. And lo and behold, they've now spilt up.

Ah, awesome.

 

[Infinite Jest]

The Smith Westerns: kinda like the Black Lips doing glam.
Holy Fuck: As in 'holy fuck they are good'. Electro.
Everything Everything: Manchester electronic pop.

TG: I'm going to see Beach House in a couple of weeks - you should consider coming
