Gem Club: Breakers

Breakers is the new album from Boston band Gem Club. Breakers is 9 tracks of dreamy indie music reminiscent of Bon Iver. The tracks have beuatiful textures with piano and strings layering into delicate vocals. This is intimate music that engages the listener in its lush folds. Minimalist in nature, the music arrives and departs like birds on a fence post, beautiful in the instant, but as quickly gone. This is a great album from a superlative band.

Para Siempre: Stranded



Stranded is the new EP from San Francisco shoegazer Para Siempre. Stranded serves up 4 songs of lo-fi, garage rock. Noisy, jangly and reverby, this EP has all the y's covered. Para Siempre impressed earlier this year with their album Hysteria and the Stranded EP keeps the trend going with driving tracks in a similar vein to Jay Reatard, Wavves and Ty Segall.  Para Siempre are prolific with three releases totalling 19 tracks in 2011, including the Hysteria album  reviewed back in April and the EP Disorder.

Esque: "Confessions", by God, as told to Peyton Burgess

"Confessions", by God, as told to Peyton Burgess is the new EP from FZB mid-year top 10 pick Esque. This band just gets better with every release. In my review of their album Tonightmares, I said the album "is the realization of what an art rock album can be." Well I'm sticking with that. Esque should be a major force in synth pop music. They are that good! It's only a matter of time before these guys hit major status with their radio ready, yet supremely interesting music. Get on the bandwagon with Esque and say you new them when.

Race of Robots: In Dreams



In Dreams is the latest album for FZB favorites Race of Robots, aka Zach Holmes and Coby Nida, from Washington, D.C. In Dreams brings us more of the band's own brand of dream pop. Glistening instrumentals frame light vocals, with the mix swirling around till the outside world is gone and only the tracks themselves are left in one's mind. Race of Robots make great music, simple as that. Stream and download In Dreams for free at the link below.
