We don't usually publish instrumentals here - mainly because there are already so many great songs with vocals(gotta draw the line somewhere).

The DIY release is full of lo-fi folk pop songs that caught the attention of some influential bloggers. A few years later, DeRose released his home recorded debut, Fear Not Distant Lover, and penned the moniker Peasant. When Damien DeRose turned 18, he dropped out of school, packed up his guitar, and bought a sailboat in California with a friend. Lastest Release from Peasant Reaffirms Remarkable Talent "All Ways" - Sun Hotel from Team Spirit - Jan. "Plantation Land" - Sun Hotel from Team Spirit - Jan. Since then, the six-piece post-gospel family band has released their 2009 debut LP, Halloween Mean, and their follow-up LP, Team Spirit, in January 2010. After writing and recording "spooky" songs in their college dorm room, the duo released the lo-fi EP, Oh N.O! to great fan and critic response. Sun Hotel started as a two-piece folk act when Tyler Scurlock and Alex Hertz moved to New Orleans for college. "City Kids" - Boy Without God - single - Jan. The album art above is from the first BWG LP released last summer. BWG is recommended if you like Beirut, Neutral Milk Hotel, Stephin Merritt, and Sufjan Stevens. Ridgewood, New York's Boy Without God has proven to be a promising one man band who has collaborated with dozens of artists, including members of Slaraffenland. "Too Beautiful for Smiles" - Chromatic Flights from Too Beautiful for Smiles - April 19thĪrtist on the Radar: New York's Boy Without God The EP is pretty much an extension of the type of the electronic experimental 'surf' sounds and styles he's recorded in the past, and with BMC so there are no real standout tracks, except for the title track, which will quite possibly make it on to one of our summer playlist mixtapes. Kyle Wess of Blind Man's Colour, a band that received a lot of attention in the second half of 2009, just released his second DIY EP under his moniker Chromatic Flights. "Falling Deeper" - Makaras Pen from Makaras Pen - April 1stīlind Man Colour's Other Half Releases More Solo Work "Jellyfish Wrangler" - The Press from INTEOTWIJTEOAE - April 6th "Master" - The Press from INTEOTWIJTEOAE - April 6th Following The Press is Makaras Pen, whose songs hover somewhere between shoegaze, pop and indie rock. The Brooklyn band brilliantly produces songs that are melodic and dreamy, "Jellyfish Wrangler," as well as raw and in-your-face guitar rock, "Master," as well as other styles. Sam Billen on MySpace If you haven't already heard of the band The Press (making it hard to Google their name), now is your chance.

Sam Billen's Removers EP is available as a free download. "Borderline" (Sufjan Stevens) - Sam Billen from Removers - March 9th "Spirtle" (Deastro) - Sam Billen from Removers - March 9th We've included two of our favorites here. Irregardless, we have been really digging Billen's cover songs and remixes lately, including his repurposing of songs from - Removers - Sufjan Stevens, Postal Service, Deastro, and Capybara. And for those that do, they might say you've been missing out. Not many people, even those who follow "indie" music, know who Sam Billen is. So, without reviewing the tracks individually - which we'd love to do but there simply isn't time - we hope the music speaks for itself.

The fact that these tracks are part of an 'almost missed' mix does not in anyway diminish what we think about the songs themselves (thus the reason for this series). With so much new music coming at us from all directions all the time, there are going to be those that slip through the cracks.
