Hey indie folks (basically Gabbo and Toma ), Parachute for Gordo remastered our EP so it's a bit louder and oomph-ier since the first release was a little weak in the volume stakes. It can be found, for free as always, at http://parachuteforgordo.bandcamp.com.

Ta!

Great stuff! Recording quality leaves a bit to be desired but the writing is there. Bought to support you guys. I know how scary it is to release something you've worked so hard on for months (or years) on end so it's the least I can do. Good luck to you guys!

Thanks very much man! Every sale means a lot to us, you made our day.

The lo-fi recording quality was almost an ideological choice for us, we had another band previous to PFG called Occasional Kings where we got mired in a recording black hole, it took us nearly three months to record a single track that pretty much killed the band. So this time round we wanted to do it as quick, dirty and live as possible. These songs were written and laid down in less than six months from the start of the band and we're all about forward momentum and energy over pure technical issues.

Our next record should be a little more polished though, we just had a producer contact us offering a pro-bono session because he digs the band so much (which really swelled my ego!). Gonna be a great year

Experimental Ambient

What could go down better on a Sunday evening than some Japanese ambient music? Nothing, I say. Enjoy.

 

[Toma]

Some Rock (with lyrics!) after some instrumental stuff lately:

The Laybacks - Feel Lighter Tonight

http://wasfuersohr.blogspot.de/2013/02/the-laybacks-2013-feel-lighter-tonight.html

(Horrible cover once again, btw! Music is definitely better than the cover)

We really should do an instructional on how to make better/more appealing covers.

[gabbo]

Noise Rock:
Hector - One Man's Treasure is Another Man's Trash

http://wasfuersohr.blogspot.ca/2013/02/hector-2013-one-mans-treasure-is.html

[VariantX04]

ABSRDST - Xhip Quim

Fantastic electro/chiptune. Very moody and not unlike my work, has this story-like progression to it. We need more forward-thinking electro artists in the scene so support this guy!

Apoplexia – 2013 – Carré Rouge EP

http://wasfuersohr.blogspot.ca/2013/02/apoplexia-2013-carre-rouge-ep.html

Protest music inspired by last year's Red Square movement in Quebec.
Ingredients for a great record as far as i'm concerned.

 

[Shrike Alvaron]

A while back, Ed Harrison released the soundtrack he composed for the HL2 mod Neo Tokyo for free, it's a great cyberpunk-styled soundtrack and can be downloaded freely in full .flac quality at his site, though it's encouraged to buy it if you like it: http://ghostiq.com/neotokyo/

 

[gabbo]

Ambient

I Am a Car - 2013 - Sun Will Rise

http://wasfuersohr.blogspot.ca/2013/03/i-am-car-2013-sun-will-rise.html

After Neotokyo and the angry electronic protest music of Apoplexia, this should make relaxing relatively easy for the rest of the weekend.

 

[Naked Snake]

Not exactly indie but it is Creative Commons/free:

Amanda Palmer (you can stream her entire latest album and it's great)

 

[gabbo]

Yes it is. She puts out a lot of free music it seems

 

[Naked Snake]

Yes it is. She puts out a lot of free music it seems

yeah you're right, I was watching her TED talk today and she mentioned signing with a major record label so I wasn't sure, but I just watched the talk again (it's really good) and I noticed she said they broke off from the label, so yeah they're indie.

http://wasfuersohr.blogspot.de/2013/03/euphony-2013-mistakes-ep.html

Was really happy this wasn't as ridiculously manic as other Gypsy music I've come across, but still had a wide-eyed adventurousness about it

Classical/New Age:

Benjamin Kuli - 2012 - Blue Flame Candle

[spectros4]

Surprised nobody mentioned Odesza yet. It's relaxing music, and an album I can listen to all the way through.
Download their album Summer's Gone here.

 

[Toma]

Dont be surprised when seeing the record is from 2011. I listened to them on an off for 2 years now. They made a very fun, even though sometimes a tad simple, record. Too bad most wont give them the time of the day due to the language barrier. I dont understand much either, but its a highly recommended Dance/Indie/Pop record:

cindy - 2011 - Ситуация

http://wasfuersohr.blogspot.de/2013/04/cindy-2011.html

Feedback from another forum:

Some great stuff lately, Toma! Haven't nearly gone through it all yet, but I'm loving Euphony, BEST YOUTH, and Drive By Night. Especially those first two.

 

[gabbo]

Those people don't deserve good music.
