Ana Roxanne

Here's a longing new track from ambient and electronic artist Ana Roxanne.  Piano ballad "Keepsake" is a stark and yearning piece comprised of piano, voice, and just the right amount of ambient microphone hiss.  Check it out below and pre-order the upcoming "Poem 1" LP here from Kranky.

Billy Fulmer

Magic Wands

LA's Magic Wands have that sound that works its way to the very center of my psyche: kinda shoegaze, kinda darkwave, kinda lo-fi, kinda death rock.  Just cool, cool stuff all around.  Check out new single "Wishing Well" below and download it here from Metropolis Records.

Slow Dancing Society & City of Dawn

It's not even 10AM here yet, but i'm listening to the moodiest of midnight jams right now with "A City Asleep," a track from "The Dream Season," a collaborative LP between the excellently named Slow Dancing Society (Drew Sullivan) and City of Dawn (Damien Duque).  The album is a sleepy mix ambient electronica and subtle noirish vibes, a sonic picture of a city after dark.  Check the track out below and pre-order the download here from Past Inside the Present.
