de rosa: prevention
The first time I heard Prevention, I quickly associated De Rosa with The Twilight Sad because Martin Henry sings in that lovable Scottish accent. However, Henry’s passionate and emotional voice reminds me more of Todd Marriott (I Was a Cub Scout); and for the most parts, Prevention is very much like I Was a Cub Scout for its straightforward indie rock sound. Although it is still quite fresh, Prevention feels like one of those albums that I can listen to over and over again without getting sick of it.Nocturne For An Absentee
Pest [wicked-cool song]

bibio: vignetting the compost
Bibio’s Vignetting The Compost sounds like a combination of ambient and experimental artists I highly enjoy. The use of loops, drone and found sounds generate some very dreamy atmosphere... sort of a cross between Lawrence English and Pajo. In addition, the album has that outdoorsy and nature sensation of Our Sleepless Forest and the colourful and imaginative creativity of Shugo Tokumaru.Mr. & Mrs. Compost [wicked-cool song]
