Batou - Adventures in Bitscape

It was a long time since I've been music-struck this way.

Again, an album found by sheer luck, thanks to the new "You might also like" feature on Bandcamp.

In this first EP released in march, Batou takes out his cloud-stringed laser harp and decorates the night sky with thin layers of nostalgic dreams.

Listen, share, and buy if you can. When you have the chance to witness the apparition of a young talentend artist on the music scene, try supporting him/her as much as you can.

See you around very soon for more music.

Sai Wai - Lone Samurai Masamune

Here's part one of Sai Wai's two-part debut project, this one Masamune being an album of instrumental chill jazzy relaxing, downtown sunset kind of music ; and the second one, Suzanami being embroidered with lyrics, comfortably seated on a soft bed of music.

City Guys - City Guys

Two overpaid city slickers hooked on Xanax, fine wine and call girls and found themselves playing way too much Megadrive and not going to work monday morning. In the blurry haze of the rising sun they found they had laid this strange egg of an album, mostly composed of old Megadrive sounds and Sega-inspired melodies, reminiscing of better times, in a very very very fine house, with two cats in the yard.

Watch out, sounds from the Megadrive can hurt cloth-eared nincompoops and 8-bit purists (of whose ranks I used to be part), so please make sur you're equipped accordingly. Otherwise, have fun.

See you soon.

Electric Octopus - Driving Under the Influence of Jams

This is another great release by Belfast-based trio Electric Octopus. On the menu : groovy jazzy smokey instrumentations, to-dance-to rhythms, and as ever, that particular atmosphere which enables one to close his eyes and believe he's enjoying the music in an obscure pub, sitted at a thick wooden table with a pint.

With nine tracks of an average of twenty minute each, which price you can name, I guess that's enough content for your money. Give a little something if you can, and help me get those guys go on a European tour.
