Boston’s Magic Man released their debut EP earlier this fall, and if the picture above looks familiar, that’s because our favorite track, “Waves”, was featured in our Playlist Update a few weeks back. As the days get colder for those of us in the north, we need a reminder of summer, and the upbeat, summery sounds of this EP is […]

Last night, Gimmeindie.se headed out to Urban Spree to catch No Joy headlining Shameless Limitless’ Canadian extravaganza night. The shoegazing trio No Joy is currently touring Europe and performed alongside fellow Montreal-acts Doomsquad and Secret Secret Girls. Jasamine White-Gluz (vocals, guitar) and Laura Lloyd (guitar) started working on material together while Laura was still living in LA back in 2009. […]

She’s done almost everything, having huge success throughout her career. From touring with fellow friends like Feist and Broken Social Scene, performing at the Sydney Opera House, winning two APRA Awards, to forming an indie rock trio with her Australian peers Sarah Blasko and Holly Throsby under the name of Seeker Lover Keeper.

Warm and rising, “Chaturanga” is a welcome listen as the winter cold settles in. It’s one of four on the new EP from Hilang Child, musical moniker of London-based Ed Riman.

San Francisco-based duo Painted Palms leaked another track from their upcoming LP, after the successful response to Spinning Signs. Forever, title track of their debut full-length, is a deep immersion into Beatles-likely sonorities, with an accurate use of interweaving vocal lines and fine percussion arrangements. The starting sound field suddenly turns into a great pop song, full of ascending choirs […]

Sandra Sumie Nagano makes delicate hauntingly beautiful music. Her self-titled debut album comes out on Bella Union on December 2 and we were lucky enough to have a little chat with Sumie about her seemingly late decision to make music, her sources of inspiration and future hopes.

Austin based Shearwater is back in the studio recording their follow-up to 2012’s excellent Animal Joy, but along the way they thought they’d have a little fun recording some covers of bands that they have toured with over the past ten years. What was supposed to be a small project turned into a full-length album called Fellow Travelers, due to […]

Barely formed, The Sun Days are a promising quintet from Gothenburg that quickly after getting together recorded their debut single “You Can’t Make Me Make Up My Mind” whose response to it has been pretty good. Secluded from some members’ previous bands, their sound with laid-back guitars make us long for a summer that has already passed but invite us to keep […]
