LEVV

I came across this electropop duo on noisetrade.  I was initially hesitant about the dubstep-like parts of the music, but the melodies and backing instrumentation are undeniably genius.  The girl also has a ridiculously beautiful voice.  Check out their noisetrade page...it's the only source of their music that I can find.  I think the EP just came out, and I believe it's the first of their music to be released.  I definitely recommend checking them out, and I have a feeling they will be worth following over the next several years.

Among Elephants

Sorry for my prolonged neglect of this blog!  It has been a busy summer.  This was another noisetrade discovery: you can download some of their music for free at their noisetrade page.  I would describe the music as somewhat poppy, but with a folk base.  It's pretty catchy, and worth a listen.  One of their songs for free download is a really upbeat summertime song, and other one is a more mellow, acoustic tune.  I like the guy's voice, and the creative instrumentation.  Definitely check them out; apparently they have an album coming out at the end of August.
