Posted on 01 February 2012 by Bowlegs

Jamuel Saxon was conceived from Keith Milgaten, a San Diego musician with a new found love for a more intelligent form of dance music. After a battle with drink and drugs Keith got his head down, taking on a few...Read More »

Kapowski

Posted on 24 January 2012 by Bowlegs

Kapowski’s debut, Boy Detective, is a lush free-fall into Pop. It’s the sort of Pop that doesn’t hold back, laden with strings, psychedelic tints and an endless flow of imagination. The Oakland-based band was built by Front man Jesse Rimler,...Read More »

WAY YES

Posted on 17 January 2012 by Bowlegs

Way Yes are way good, their new EP, Walkability, is our official morning mood setter. Building from a percussive backbone they craft songs which balance their African and Brazilian influences with modern day songwriting. Melancholy balanced with summertime bliss is...Read More »

Batwings Catwings

Posted on 10 January 2012 by Bowlegs

Admittedly Batwings Catwings first caught our attention because we liked the name, but then we listened and it turned out we liked the music too. Bowlegs’ friends Foot Village had a hand in getting the band together when they happened...Read More »

High Highs

Posted on 03 January 2012 by Bowlegs

High Highs started in Australia and picked it up in New York (along with an extra member). Their sound has a sparse and ethereal quality which can be heard all over their debut, self-titled EP. It seems that 2012 is...Read More »

Death Songs

Posted on 05 December 2011 by Bowlegs

Nick Delffs (he of The Shaky Hands) is the man behind Death Songs. A new band with a taste for the ramshackle and untidy. The acoustic guitars scramble amidst various percussive instruments and whatever else may be at hand. The...Read More »

Younghusband

Posted on 28 November 2011 by Bowlegs

Younghusband’s recently released Crystal EP follows their debut single, Carousel/Nothing,Nothing, which we heard back in June. The four tracks on Crystal throw thick layers of sound at their impressively infectious pop hooks. The Casio-keyboard rhythms on the swinging ballad, Constantly...Read More »

North Highlands

Posted on 20 November 2011 by Bowlegs

The unashamed Pop being banded around on the North Highlands’ debut, Wild One, beats with an infectious and upbeat persona. Fronted with the pure, sweetened tones of lead-singer Brenda Malvini, the record is a continual flaunt of Indie-Pop – yet...Read More »

Nihiti

Posted on 13 November 2011 by Bowlegs

We thought we had a hold on Nihiti after hearing their 2010 debut album, Other People’s Memories. It was a fine release, electronics and ambience in equal measure. But the group are back with something different, and it might just...Read More »
