Like 13ghosts, this project between Bavarian The Notwist and American hip-hoppers Themselves is a very subtle and quiet one, however, it demands just a little bit more attention. The sound effects as well as the rapping randomly ask for listening, and it’s rewarding.

They remind me a little of the intricate, soft music of The Notwist, although some mexican guitars and trumpets do appear in some songs. However, very nice to listen to while reading books.
This is Adam Green, only more enthusiastic, a little faster and generally more … interesting. At least as funny and meaningful, but much more something to dance and listen to at the same time.
Fishboy – Classic Creeps (2011)
I came to know about this one because the first few sounds of a song made my ears go gigantic. The song is called Been Broken and instantly reminded me a lot of Keep the Lights On by the Wave Machines, which is attractive just for its beat simplicity. Yet, this one was more intricate, more subtle and just this bit more intimate. It literally sneaked its way into my ear.
The whole album, Fake Blood, is easy to listen to. Laid back guitar and drums arranged for mellow indie pop songs that go well with many things except sweaty disco nights.
