The December Sound

Another band who has a perfectly fitting name; even the album cover captures their sound.  They certainly don't have a July type of sound.  Its spacey, droning, bleak but yet beautiful.  Truly an enchanting experience.

Artist: The December Sound

Album: The December Sound

Song: Never

Genre: shoegaze/psychedelic

Dionaea

Post-rock mathcore?  It totally fucking works.  This is an extremely talented band from New Jersey making mainly instrumental music.  The technicality of it along with the energy they put in will have you stunned at points from what you are hearing.  They have the technical proficiency of Ion Dissonance with the beauty of Mogwai.

Artist: Dionaea

Album: Still

Song: Same Story

Genre: mathcore/post-rock

Dissever the Tyrant

I've been looking through my library for some bands that I had forgotten about that deserve to resurface.  I would put this band on to ignite the fire in everyone to burn an empire, shed some blood.  Well... push each other around in a playful but yet aggressive manor.  I haven't heard much more from this band except for this EP, but a brutal and slamming one it is.  

Artist: Dissever the Tyrant

Album: DEMO

Song: Voracity

Genre: slamming brutal death metal

Wintercoats

So happy I came across this up and coming artist. Wintercoats is the creation of Australian violinist James Wallace.  I am thoroughly impressed with this music; its dreamy, beautiful, yet uplifting music with lots of violin, an instrument I consider to be angelic and the most beautiful sounding of instruments along with the harp.

The Townhouses

The Townhouses is straight up delightful and unique.  The last.fm profile has this to say about his sound, "He wistfully mixes Tropicalia, Gamelan, African and Ambient soundscapes to create an experimental collage of breezy summer vibes."  That is a bold and enticing description, and its a fairly accurate one.  I love the instruments he uses such as xylophone, chimes, violin, etc.. along with his calm, soothing guitar tone and use of beautiful piano.  Currently, all five of his releases can be found for download on his bandcamp.

Artist: The Townhouses

Album: Diaspora

Song: Talk
