White Wolves
by Bravestation

"There’s plenty of excellent alternative music burgeoning all over the world, but Canada continues to star, holding the heart of intelligent indie in its hands and Bravestation, a four-piece from Toronto, have stolen our attention for the immediate future. They blend soaring, melodic indie pop into a warm, lush soundscape, with a broad, mature and consistently excellent collection of songs."

The Astronaut
by Grande Roses

This spring they released their third EP “Say It to My Fervent Heart”, and it has become a favourite of mine. To make an attempt to describe their music I’d take a part of Glasvegas and mix it with a dose of attitude from Union Carbide Productions and also a sensation of mellow Americana."

Bless This Mess
by David Bazan

"Oh, David Bazan. You are so talented and yet so underappreciated. So, hopefully the masses come out this fall as you head out on tour (w/ a band). I'm pretty sure it's not something you (reading this) will want to miss. Mr. Bazan's most recent album, Curse Your Branches, was released back in September of last year through Barsuk."

Det var jag
by Familjen

"Swedish electro artist familjen is back with a new album 'Mänskligheten'. Check out the awesome lead single “Det var jag,” a twittering swedish-language electro-romp, complete with cowbells & a rolling synth."

Aly, Walk With Me
by Raveonettes

Aly, Walk With Me isn't a new track by any stretch, but It's the first time I stumbled upon the track. This time may be your first as well. It's from the album, "Lust Lust Lust" which was released in 2008.

Another Strike Restrained
(Sadguitarius remix)
by Violens

"Violens is a New York-based 3-piece just sitting on their hands until their debut full-length, Amoral, drops November 2nd. The brainchild of producer/multi-instrumentalist Jorge Elbrecht, Violens came together in late 2007, and have toured the US and Europe with the likes of Grizzly Bear, Bat for Lashes and Deerhunter on the strength of their 2008 self-titled EP. These fellows certainly know their way around the studio, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d swear Elbrecht was raiding my record collection."

Louder
by Katy B

"London's firecracker, Katy B, is on somewhat of a hot streak, thanks to super support from the dudes on the RinseFM tip, like Geeneus, Benga and Zinc. The latter's provided her with the greatest present in the form of a twinkling into twurking arrangement, in which she waxes her woes over said slinky tones. The song is Louder. Or as I like to call it, "oh you know, that one song I play about 25 times a day". Pretty sure you'll agree with that sentiment."

Stars (LAZRtag remix)
by The xx

"Adding beats to space in the music of The xx would be thought of as taboo to most people, but not the two dudes in LAZRtag, and the Los Angeles-based producers have taken on the sultry, subtle music of the young Britons’ song “Stars” here with fits and spurts of bass and drum claps, losing much of the subtle nature of the original and putting a rather light amount of bounce in the mixture."

Cross Bones Style is a personal favorite of mine and since ArtistRoster.com wasn't around when this track came out, here's our opportunity to highlight it. Cross Bones Style can be found on the "Everything Is Nice: The Matador Records 10th Anniversary" album. Go and buy it if you don't already own it.
