Photobucketbyebyebeautifool
When I walked through the door my wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes did soar, I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
Said that I was a brave, brave man, but that I was dead
As Ive mentioned before, MDA (Must Discover Artists) doesn't make other artists solely featured here any less adept to music or less suitable of acknowledgment per se but only to widen each eargasm experience by delivering what's currently hot and full of buzz out there while filtering sleazy from superior. After 4 reeling months Metaphor brings back to you her well-preserved post as being away from the interweb cause me an overflowing list of news-worthy artists in my desktop.

[CONTRACT/EXPAND]


Movits!

Photobucket

Django guitar, windy street swing; music for both art directors and for your mother. Well-known in Sweden, but unheard of elsewhere, they fold together elements of 1930’s big band swing, roma swing and rhythm & blues, then drop hiphop vocals on top for some serious energetic firepower.

"Appelknyckarjazz"
"Swing For Hyresgastforeningen"

Grizzly Bear

Photobucket

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Grizzly Bear are a four piece psychedelic/experimental band. Grizzly Bear’s music is seductive and intimate, deep with hazy-eyed choruses, whistles, piano, banjo, and several woodwind instruments. In their music, melody and ambiance are necessary complements.

"All We Ask"
"Two Weeks"
"Southern Point"
"Fine For Now"


Fibes, Oh Fibes!

Photobucket

Fibes, Oh Fibes!, a swedish six piece band hailing from the town of Gothenburg on the Swedish westcoast. They play piano-heavy pop with influences by american westcoast rock, adult oriented rock, the slick production of disco-era fleetwood mac and blue eyed soul.

Pony Pony Run Run

Photobucket

Pony Pony Run Run is a french power pop band formed in Nantes, FR and Angers, FR with original members; G for guitar and lead voice, A for bass ,T for Synth, S for guitar and back vocals and F for drums. Neat isnt it? But Pony Pony Run Run is not just another electro-pop band, no, that also would be too easy. Pony Pony Run Run is just a damn good pop band from this new easy and unselfconscious generation.
Their first album is coming out on June 15th 2009 in France on their label 3ème Bureau featuring the single “Hey you”.

"Hey You"
"Hey You" (sayCet Remix)
"Hey You" (PPRR Dance Remix)


Iron and Wine

Photobucket

Iron & Wine is the stage and recording name of folk rock singer-songwriter Sam Beam. The name Iron & Wine is taken from a dietary supplement named “Beef Iron & Wine” that he found in a general store while shooting a film. His songs range from in-depth literate narratives to love songs, and have helped to usher in a new generation of folk-pop singer/songwriters.

"The Trapeze Swinger"
"Love Vigilantes"
"Peng! 33"
"Belated Promise Ring"


Company of Thieves

Photobucket

An indie rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois in 2007, Company of Thieves are erudite without being pretentious, hooky without being saccharine, and plainly dedicated to its ideals.

"Oscar Wilde"
"Pressure"


Phoenix

Photobucket

Phoenix started during their childhood by Thomas Mars, Deck D’Arcy, Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz in the affluent suburb of Versailles, in the same culture that produced late-’90s bands such as Air and Daft Punk. The band employs traditional and electronic instruments, ranging from a recorder to a laptop, and all four members contribute vocals. And yes, elbo.ws and hypemachine already overyhped this band along with the blogosphere.

"Lasso"
"Rome"
"Liztomania"


Marina & The Diamonds

Photobucket

With a self-desciption of "Im Marina, you are the diamonds", Marina & The Diamonds with one look and first listen would be instantly associated between the spectra of La Roux of Little Boots. There's the right amount of innovative panache coupled with wonderful musical pieces.

"Mowgli's Road"
"I Am Not A Robot (The Shoes Remix)"
"Seventeen"

.....end.

Oh Dear

After a listen, first thing you've probably notice about Gin Wigmore is her grating voice oscillating inside your eardrums. With a style that reminiscence me of Ida Maria and Duffy, Gin Wigmore is little by little becoming my next guilty pleasure. This is the kind of songs you listen everytime you plan on being oblivious to the surroundings while attempting to take on a cool hermit poise. LOL. Check her out. +/- Gin Wigmore Gin Wigmore is a distinctive singer/songwriter, whose sound is driven by a startling voice; her delivery succinctly described by a critic as ‘whiskey and dry’ and whose self-penned songs provide a refreshing new take on life as a ’20-something’ and yet relate across the generations.

The Script

I picked yesterday The Script debut album which was made available this 8th of November. The Script, an Irish trio band describes their sound as a whole new brand of Celtic Soul, blending hip hop lyrical flow with pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art R'n'B production with anthemic rock dynamics, classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives. +/- The Script It's got all the emotion and passion you would expect from across the Irish sea, but it is glittering in its modernity, universal in its singalong addictiveness and global in its syncopation, music for the feet, heart and head. Think U2 versus Timbaland, Van Morrison remixed by Teddy Riley. Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me, And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be, Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet, And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
