Cool Hunting
Milieu by Evan Orensten
With so much music being released that's freely available on the internet, it's a little daunting to try and sift through to find the diamonds.
But British blogger Alex Young is a gifted electronica aficionado that does just that. His site, Milieu, is the most basic concept, but Young's taste and knowledge of the genre provides an invaluable service. He doesn't limit himself to music either. There's art, software and even Podcasts of some of the reviewed music for those of you in a hurry.
His interests are varied—you can get lost in this site.

Solid Gold
Minneapolis is usually know for being cold, but as the music scene there intensifies, it's beginning to be known for stellar indie bands like Solid Gold. We can't stop listening to the cheeky synth-pop trio and their most recent album, "Bodies of Water." The repeat-worthy tracks are sharp but full of smooth, ethereal melodies that float around and consume your head. The name Solid...

School of Seven Bells
Since watching their revelatory performance at the Ghostly International CMJ showcase two weeks ago, the School of Seven Bells have accompanied me every day, lilting my step on morning commutes and late night walks with their dreamy soundscapes and yearning anthems. A new addition to Ghostly's eclectic roster of artists, the Brooklyn-based School of Seven Bells is comprised of guitarist Benjamin Curtis, formerly of...

Keyboard Choir: Mizen Head To Gascanane Sound
