Cherry Ghost

Unbelievably good music. The voice makes me relax and feel safe, the music is perfect for an epic couch experience. Just turn it up loud, and you’ll be gone for a while.

Strings attached, the sounds could be described as piano indie rock, but then again, there’s also a good portion of singer-songwriter to it because the lyrics are quite interesting as well.

Caution: Might make you want to stay where it’s taken you.

Thee More Shallows – Book Of Bad Breaks (2007)

This band is special in the way that their music is dense yet intricate, noise rock and pop meet at a party, so to speak.

I’d be glad if I might compare them to Conor Oberst on a shoegazing trip.

James Vincent McMorrow

Yet another one of those singer slash songwriters that are distinctive and catchy enough to stand out from the crowd. The drums add a good americana feeling to it every other song, even though James Vincent McMorrow is of irish origin.

Reminds me of Midlake at times, only the lyrics are far more conventional.

Remy Zero

Long time no hear no news, but lately, I suddenly stumbled upon a „new“ 2010 EP by Remy Zero. I instantly remembered that I had some intense listening moments with this band.

Keeping the good old alternative rock tradition, they have a thumping sound to them.

Sadly, the drummer passed away in 2010, and, as a result, the band has ceased to exist.
