The best shoegaze/dream pop of 2016...so far!

 Yumi Zouma

Wikipedia definition of "shoegazing" goes like that: "the style typified by the blurring of component musical parts—typically significant guitar distortion, feedback and obscured vocals—into indistinguishable "walls of sound"[...]The term was often used contemporaneously with "dream pop".

Acts to Watch - Salt Ashes

I'm trying not to throw such comparisons left and right (they can be backhanded compliments after all), but don't you agree that voice of Brighton girl Veiga Sanchez is pure sex? If you have such a tembre like singer recording under the alias Salt Ashes, even shopping list feels like I Feel Love. Fittingly, her songs channel the spirit of the golden days of disco. The self-titled album that will be out in less than one week (you can preorder!) will be full of legitimate bangers like If You Let Me Go, Somebody and Raided.

Client Liaison - World of Our Love

Are we sure Miami is American city?

This one is already one month old but I just have to live up to the hype of 'music to watch wombats by' from time to time.

Bands to watch: Sexy Suicide

I can't even express how glad was I to finally see my favorite Polish band/duo Sexy Suicide in action! It was on 3 June in Warsaw-Praga club Hydrozagadka.

Simonne Jones - Gravity

We usually hate artists (or, more often, artisans) who spam us on social media like Twitter. I try to keep it cool with such cheap tactits because being up-and-coming writer I believe in word-of-mouth marketing as much as the next guy.

Lyel - Shadow

There was a bestselling novel by Jackie Collins titled 'The World Is Full of Married Men'. And life of music blogger is full of electro-soul singers!

FM-84 feat. Ollie Wride - Running with the Night

One of my favorite songs at the beginning of 2013 was 21st Century Love by London band Joywride. IIRC, one of my Czech friends from Club Chart introduced me to this ditty.

Late Cambrian - Thanks For Your Time

I will say it right away: I never thought that Brooklyn's (or, more precisely, Bushwick's) duo Late Cambrian comprised of John Wlaysewski and mysterious O and augmented by drummer Alex Cohen would ever top the song that made me fall in love with them - Yearbook Photo.

Contact - Never Stop

Judging from their last single Never Stop, it's easy to dismiss Boston electro-pop trio Contact as mere copyists of certain Scottish act with tiny female singer and religion-inspired name.

Niia - Bored to Death

28 y.o. old American Niia is not your another run-of-the-mill pop singer.
