Mates of State
(New York, NY)
www.matesofstate.com
Though conceived as a duo, Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel—the he and she music factory known as Mates of State—have never failed to generate a trademark wall of sound built on dozens of varied voicings of keys, drums, and alternately lushly layered and playfully dueling vocals.
Sprengjuhöllin
(Reykjavík, Iceland)
www.myspace.com/sprengjuhollin
Number one on the Icelandic charts for 27 weeks in a single year as hipsters, housewives, convicts, politicians and everyone else embraced its Kinks-y melodies and quirky Pavement-ness.
Kill Krinkle Club
(Dublin, Ireland)
www.myspace.com/killkrinkleclub
Kill Krinkle Club is a Swedish/Irish duo that makes music that’s a little bit strange, magical and beautiful. They’ve recently played NXNE and Electric Picnic, and filmed a Take Away Show for La Blogotheque.
The Subtitles
(St. John’s, NF)
www.thesubtitlesmusic.com
The Subtitles plays synth-infused pop with a reckless edge—like walking down a hill on the way to finally telling her how you feel.
