I spent the past weeks getting in touch with a lot of promising bands because I wanted to put together a compilation for you, my loyal readers, to download. It was absolutely amazing being involved with the artists and I was very surprised by the amount of positive feedback I got. So my thanks go out to all the 12 amazing bands and solo artists who wanted to be a part of this. I hope you enjoy the carefully selected tracks and maybe find a new favorite!
Let me briefly introduce you to the 12 artists:
1. Brahms: Indiepop-trio from Brooklyn. I wrote about them a few weeks ago, here.
2. Sunbirds: Indiepop from James, Dean, Ben & Denis from the UK.
3. Wait.Think.Fast: Indiepop-trio from Los Angeles.
4. Germany Germany: Drew Harris from Canada. Interviewed him here. Astonishing production.
5. Museum of Bellas Artes: Probably my favorite track of the 12. Been listening to it for months now and I am really proud they wanted to be a part of this. They are from Sweden.
6. NY Fan: Solo project of Dutchwoman Fanny Bartels, former lead singer of We Are Fans. Brilliant electropop.
7. Sexual Earthquake in Kobe: French electronic punk quintet from Lille. See my epic live experience.
8. Hesta Prynn: Solo project of Julie Potash from female hiphop-indierock band Northern State.
9.Sunglasses: Samuel Cooper and Brady Keehn from Georgia, US.
10. Hi Tiger: New York electropop band. According to the chinese calender, this will be their year..
11. Missions: Josh Mills, Markus Diffee & Amber Zook from Texas.
12. Hard Mix: Noah Smith from South Carolina. I wrote a bit about him here.
So that’s it. 12 of the finest artists out there. I want to thank each and everyone of them for making this possible. It’s been so much fun.
