“Unlike so many up-and-coming New York bands, the Shakes avoid lingering in one narrow-minded framework. The harmonies may lend themselves to some throwback Spector-era comparisons, and some of the grander choruses may resemble a primordial New Pornographers or Walkmen, but thanks to a frenetic clip of hooks, you can’t simply pigeonhole Burning Birthdays.” — Pitchfork EP review (7.3)
Babyland has delivered their experimental blend of misused electronics, metal percussion, and energetic vocals since 1989. Evolving in the shadows of the Los Angeles underground, Babyland’s performance based approach uses the imperfections and mistakes of real life to explore the gritty world that lies between punk rock, industrial, and electronic pop music: Electronic Junk Punk

Amerijah start off their “Project Won†with a track in “Dove Wing Rhythm†that has a lot of energy, but does not do anything with it in the nearly four minutes that the track has. If there was some more experimentation or a voice to break up the music during this track, the chance is that the band would come out as something more than more bouncy elevator music.

Those expecting Wilco keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen’s side project to play the same alt-country indie rock his full time group is known for may be in for a disappointment. Rather the Jorgensen-fronted Pronto sticks to a brilliant combination of classic AM radio pop with a healthy dose of lyrical cynicism. All is Golden, 13 tracks of truly imaginative rock music, was actually recorded in 2006 with members of Iron & Wine…
