Jangly guitars! Crashing cymbals! Pianos, horns and banjos! Ridiculous song titles and unique backing vocals! It must be Swedish twee pop in the vein of Jens Lekman! Pelle Carlberg, former front man of Edson, gifts us with some cool songwriting and instrumentation. You know what else is cool? Carlsberg. Oh, also, Pelle will be at The Delancey entertaining New Yorkers this Saturday, June 2nd at 8:45pm.

The D'Urbervilles are from Canada and they play a sort of festering, brooding indie rock and roll, slowly building energy and adding instruments. The songs pull you in more the further you move along so stick with it! Enjoy.

I only wish I were as infinitely happy as fellow Brooklynites Matt & Kim. These remixes are a start to getting me there. Nothing is quite as good as the original, but considering how fucking great "Yea Yeah" is, there still is a lot of room for these remixes to be rather awesome. Cheers.

The Teeth are a band from Philadelphia. They recently released a CD, You're My Lover Now, on Park The Van Records, home of Dr. Dog. Their songs are a nice combination of bluesy vocals and jangly pop tunes, akin to a lot of 60's UK acts, i.e. The Zombies, The Kinks, etc. Check out these songs.

A-Trak is good at turntables. According to his myspace page:

A-Trak - Time To Get Yummy
A-Trak - Feeling For The Pack
A-Trak - Control
A-Trak - Get On My Pony
His latest mix, Dirty South Dance, smashes together a slew of crunk/rap and electro tracks for a hip shaking good time. The CD's limited to 5,000 copies and Turntable Lab is restocking, but you can still grab one from FUSShop. I recommend doing so.When I was 13 I took my bar mitzvah money and bought myself some turntables and a mixer. I practiced for about 18 hours a day. Then I came out of my basement, packed my lunch and won a bunch of world championships. Joy! I formed a DJ crew called the Allies with Craze and friends. We toured the world for a while. I also founded Audio Research Records with my big brother and big homie Dave so that we could release music that we like. Next thing you know Kanye hired me as his DJ.

Delta Spirit sound pretty much like what you would expect the spirit of the delta to sound like. Aptly named my friends. They're from California (San Diego I believe) and are getting their start on Monarchy Music, previous home to the likes of The Colour and Cold War Kids. They also did a Daytrotter session you can listen to and download here.

Kid Sister is part of all the fun things happening in the Chicago hip hop scene at the moment, i.e. Cool Kids and the Flosstradamus production team, who happens to count her older brother as a member! See how that works? Anyhow, check out these songs with some nice production tricks from Flosstradamus, XXXChange (Spank Rock) and A-Trak (he knows Kanye!). Look out for some more from these producers of the future in, um, future posts. You do read regularly, no? Oh, and Kid Sis will be at Canal Room May 26th, 2007 with The Rub. Who likes myspace!! Word.

London's The Mules compose some neat rockabilly, folk, electrobilly music. They've released a few singles, an EP and a full length on Organ Grinder Records and they tour the UK often. I don't think they've spent any time in the US, but I would like to see them and their lead singer/drummer. Check out these songs.
