Download a first song by this pretty unknown Brooklyn-via-South Africa sound artist called Pears. “Saldanha Beach” sounds like the perfect tune for our/your upcoming summer-mixtape. (remember last years?)

For once we get a cover that really says something about the album title: The picture above belongs to the upcoming new EP by Chicago quintet A Lull, bearing the name Meat Mountain. Off this new release, the band offers us the summery, heavily percussive “Summer Dress” for free download. Nice.
The EP will be released June 26, 2012 via Lujo Records.

Ewok Fur is the strange moniker of a german-based bedroom producer whose hazy, tropical lo-fi tracks have just reached me this afternoon. It was one of our dear readers who advised me to listen to his songs.
Especially the dreamy “moving to antarctica sounds quite ok” (part of his new EP Television Summer) really grabbed my attention. Download Ewok Fur’s entire EP over at bandcamp for free and show him some love on Facebook!

Almost a year ago we booked the completely unknown Liverpool indie-folk-trio Stealing Sheep for a show in Lucerne. And we definitely loved what we got to hear! In the meantime the three girls have signed with Heavenly Recordings, are getting lot of plays at BBC radio and are about to release their debut album soon.
The first single off the yet to be named record is the lovely “Shut Eye”. Also make sure to check out their amazing new video for “I Am The Rain” below.
