  1. Cults Fosters a Cult Following

    July 1, 2011 by Kaitlin

    Cults
    Bringing their own youthful take on 60s girl group influences, Cults have created what NPR names one of the best albums of 2011 (so far). Not too shabby for a debut album. Cults foster their playfulness and even heartbreak in their self-titled debut album with perfect for summer, “Go Outside” and the tale of a heartbreak, “Abducted”. Pairing twinkling instrumentals with front woman, Madeline Follin belting out lyrics like “he tore me apart because I really loved him,” “Abducted” garnered Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” label. Sold out shows and winning over audiences and critics alike, Cults have been riding the wave of success.

  2. Sutja Gutierrez’s White Ponycorn In My Room EP

    June 19, 2011 by Kaitlin


    Spanish musician Sutja Gutierrez integrates opposing forces of dark and light, hard and soft to create his latest EP White Ponycorn In My Room. Acoustic guitar, distorted with synths and other noises, accompany his melodic voice in a simultaneously happy and uneasy way.  Mellow jam, “Borderline (Hell, I’m The)” and ending lullaby “Oh, Say Good Bye (Outro)” illuminate Gutierrez’s softer side, while “I Don’t Want To Be Alone (Reprise)” and “Another Room (Called Doom)” exude the musician’s fascination with darkness and distortion. Gutierrez’s echoed lyrics and indie pop instrumentals create a sound comparable to Portishead meets Thom Yorke. The record is being sold for $1 on his bandcamp with all donations funding Gutierrez’s US tour.
