CHAPPO have been cause célèbre for lovers of fuzzy rock since answering a Craigslist ad landed their song "Come Home" in an iPod commercial. They're riding the momentum from the release of their latest EP Plastique Universe II: Pisces Princess, this past fall, and are releasing their debut full-length early this year!

"an excellently overstuffed garage-psych sound" - Pitchfork

Jeff Taylor and Mark Guiliana began making music together in the late 20th Century; later the pair began working with producer/engineer Steve Wall. Inspired by artists such as Tom Waits, Talking Heads, & Radiohead, the three New Jersey natives had formed a band and were soon signed to Atlantic Records. The more the trio developed their sound, the less the major label cared to participate. Dropped by Atlantic, Jeff & Co. signed with Rockwood Music Hall in September 2010. Everything fell into place - an LP was conceived and finished this Fall. A release will come with Spring 2012. Check in at DumpsterHunter.com for updates.

Monogold's melodies soar like an eagle on top of a rollercoaster on top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Why would there be a rollercoaster on Mount Kilimanjaro? You see things that are there and say, "Why?" But I see things that are not and say, "Why not?" Or, something like that.

Anyway, this lovely Brooklyn band creates wonderfully crafted lush pop that glides towards dreamy and transcendent territories. Singer Keith Kelly uses his floating falsetto to propel the trio's songs up, up, and up some more.

This is not sad music for you sacks who are sad. Monogold's music reaffirms the things in life that are worth reaffirming. (I'm not going to tell you the things in your life that needs reaffirming. I just work here.)

These three are such hookers too. Wait, scratch that. What I mean is the pop Monogold makes is catchy and sticky and big time hooky. Total sluts... to singable choruses!

They found it on Craigslist. In the summer of 2007, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig moved into a dusty, old recording studio and music school formerly called the Bromley School of Music. With the help of the Bromley's original 1921 Steinway that was left at the house, they penned their debut album "Songs From The Bromley House." The four-story musical fortress housed 8 other musician friends and would soon open their doors to bandmates, Danny Molad and Peter Lalish amidst their musical community.
Lucius has been described by the New York Times as "The next Feist" having "luscious, luminous, lilting lullabies" and by Seventeen Magazine as "alluring and magnetic" ...Their yet-to-be-released sophomore record, produced by Tony Berg (Phantom Planet, Aimee Mann, Beck) and Dan Molad (Elizabeth & The Catapult, Luke Temple/Here We Go Magic) is certainly a leap in a new, exciting direction.
