Passe-temps devenu projet aussi sérieux que productif, le crew a vu son activité augmenter en même temps que sa popularité. En combinant des instrus au sampling brillants à des lyrics aussi contemporaines que cyniques et pertinentes, La Quinte a trouvé un parfait mélange qui fera tourner bien des têtes dans les prochains mois, notamment pour les amateurs de freestyle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tierna Oscuridad is the opening track on Shaman y Los Pilares De La Creación's second album, released by <a href="http://conceptocero.com/">Concepto Cero</a>, one of La Plata's finest independent labels. You can hear the whole album via the band's website. The song is also on the soundtrack for the film Arriba Quemando El Sol, so the sound prevails over the notes, creating a deep atmospheric musical environment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little over a year ago, Melbourne's Yeo gave his acoustic guitar the flick and turned to a new friend, the keytar. He had some success in 2013 with the dark, whirring Girl and now he's back with Kobe, the second single from his forthcoming EP. It's a big step up for the producer: a shining, ambitious pop song with brash synth stabs, jittery percussion and confident R'n'B vocals. Yeo played Canadian Music Week and some US shows this month. If he doesn't break the North American market first time round, we reckon he's got a promising future penning tunes for Justin Timberlake.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quarto Negro are about to release their second album and have just brought out a movie about their time in studio, called GRU-PDX. Quando o Mar Não Vem is taken from debut album Desconocidos, released in 2011, and shows the band's melodic excellence and sensitivity.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[MP.G] My Pet Genius released Might Strike Satellite in 1996 to much critical acclaim. For the past 17 years they have been recording, mixing, switching studios, re-recording, scrapping and re-mixing hundreds of hours of music that will become the colossal double LP, Empire Of Light. A teaser EP called EMP01 reveals what's to be expected when Empire Of Light finally arrives this fall.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fernando Milagros embraces pop with synths, guitars and guests musicians on his fourth album, Nuevo Sol, a collection of songs about coming back home and going ahead with the truth. Otra Vida, the first single with Andean music arrangements, is the catchiest song on the record.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Renowned guitarist and producer Julian Salazar, a vital part of Bomba Estéreo, joins with percussionist Franklin Tejedor aka Lamparita to form Mitú, where somehow they pay tribute to Lamparita's hometown, San Basilio de Palenque. Thus, the traditional rhythms are mixed with analog synthesisers to give a unique characteristic, totally danceable. In 2012 they released their album Potro, and in 2014 Mitú hits back again with Balnear, where the future and the jungle's past are mixed, as we can hear in their track Cri Cri.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Four years on from their full-length debut, Jua, Annasaid released their second on April 28. Titled Rite De Passage there's a coming of age tale here, but while the quartet has definitely matured in age, arrangements and songwriting, their guitar-on-chest indie-rock is as youthfully energetic as ever. Here's the excellent first single Collision as a MAP exclusive download.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diego Mena continues to turn his wheels away from his roots in rock music and on to synth-pop delight. Even though he's heavily influenced by the 80s , his newest songs sound more current than ever. Intolerante is the first single from his third album Cadáveres En El Closet, a hypnotic ensemble of melodies and smooth singing. The album is out now via Bandcamp.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nicola Cruz is one of Ecuador's most interesting producers. His work focuses on experimental music that mixes electronics with organic textures and traditional sounds.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Citing influences as varied as Burt Bacharach, The Jesus And Mary Chain and Britpop, Badass Yuki are a threesome on the verge of releasing their second album, Open Your Eyes To The Landmass, which is being pressed on vinyl by small family label <a href="http://porridgebullet.com/">Porridge Bullet</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pelotons is a folk duo formed by Tina Kärkinen (Finnish) and Mike Gale (English), who began making music together at the end of last year and released a debut EP called Burrows. Blind Luck, a very laid-back, soft tune with great harmonies, is the first single from their first full-length, which will be available very shortly through Battle Worldwide Recordings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In their relentlessly brilliant debut album Distractions, A Victim Of Society craft eight intense, hammering and explosively airy rock'n'roll songs and wrap them in a bleary, beautiful package. With layers of fuzz-laced and feedback-laden guitars, raw, tribal drumbeats, repetitive gloomy melodies buried beneath noise and distortion-drenched vocals, they produce an assured, exciting piece of art that works as the ideal soundtrack for a nightmarish post-urban landscape. Listen to the striking Once Again and check out the video for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnaCnFiTaJ8">Enough Said</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Careless 061 is a band from Medan, North Sumatra, whose songs sound as if Davey Havok created the music, some angry teenager wrote the lyrics and a bunch of Green Day fans performed it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dublin duo We Cut Corners have contrasting loud and quiet streaks. Set up like The White Stripes, only with the singer on drums, the pair's garage rock with quirky pop melodies have won them a nomination for the Choice Music Prize ("Ireland's Grammys") and near universal admiration in a crowded scene. Blue is the fourth single from just-released gorgeous second album Think Nothing, crammed full of their usual brand of sharp lyrics and heart-on-sleeve brashness. A real hidden gem.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vaghe Stelle is a producer based in Turin (real name Daniele Mana) who released his new album Sweet Sixteen on the UK label Astro:Dynamics. The press release explains that the theme of the album is "an attempt to have a conversation with the listener on the subjects of love and despair". Among all those fractured rhythms and deep cosmic sounds resonates a melancholic vibe, something passionate, and this is what I really love about Vaghe Stelle's ever-fascinating music.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The title is extremely misleading - Tokyo producer Kai Takahashi only has summer vibes in mind with this song, a short cut from a recently released mixtape of similarly cut-and-chopped beats. Cannibal is especially warm, a stuttering collection of vocals and island-ready sounds tumbling over one another into a fantastic shot of mid-June weather.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stalko are a somewhat restless indie-folk trio who are equally comfortable playing small, intimate acoustic gigs or bigger shows accompanied by various other musicians and instruments. They've supported a number of renowned artists such as Adem, Owen Pallett, The Moulettes and Stanley Brinks (Andre Herman Dune). Their debut album Grandiloquence was released to critical acclaim in 2012 and earned them a Best Newcomer win as well as a Best Album nomination at the Malta Music Awards.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rolling in the grass, wearing paisley shirts and growing an afro (crowded with lice) is not exclusive for those who lived in the 60s. Coming from the perennial springtime city of Cuernavaca, Los Bandiera are a retro outfit that takes inspiration from both The Byrds and the Mexican psychedelia of Los Dug Dug's. Cielo Azul is a bittersweet love declaration to lay with your beloved one, staring up at the sun-hazed diamond skies.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following the worldwide success of Buraka Som Sistema comes another kuduro project made up of Portuguese trio Throes (Marco, Igor and João) and Angolan duo The Shine (Diron and André do Poster). Their work together has already been defined as rockuduro (rock and kuduro). Their sound is wild and energetic and word has spread through their performances at various festivals including Roskilde. Dombolo is taken from just-released new album Mambos De Outros Tipos and has this <a href="http://youtu.be/hpWLlnoCpOY">video</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Puerto Rico's indie scene skews heavily towards rock-oriented sub-genres - punk, metal, garage, pop or experimental - so it is certainly worth noting when a band like Sr. Langosta comes along to test our musical boundaries and take audiences in new directions. Led by guitarist Jorge Andrés Ferreras, the acid jazz and funk trio's debut album reveals great musicianship and a playful streak, with an extended band willing to fuse Caribbean and Latin rhythms with the classic rock influence of guitar heroes like Jimi Hendrix. Doido is but a taste of the record's refreshing sounds.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dark and perverse, Faunlet's music combines elements of post-punk, shoegaze, gothic noise, post-rock and doom-pop in a style they call dark gaze. The Bucharest group released debut album Fauna Of The Heart Flora From Beyond in January.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Idols-in-waiting Model Aeroplanes recorded their rollicking debut single Crazy while they were finishing their high school exams, but a career as musicians certainly doesn't look beyond the teenagers, whose enthusiastic post-punk sound might remind you of Two Door Cinema Club or the first Arctic Monkeys album. Their new single <a href="https://soundcloud.com/modelaeroplanes/electricity">Electricity</a> is released on May 24.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Indie-folk trio Monoban has members playing acoustic guitar, cello and cajón, a Peruvian percussion instrument. Dandelion is the lead track off debut EP Ghostship, released in April. With its charming and light-hearted melody it's an extremely addictive track well suited for repeated play.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fernando Lagreca was born in Uruguay, but his heart has been a part of Barcelona since 2002. Electronic music is his passion and he explores it in an organic way, discovering warm melodies and bright landscapes of sound. IDM is what he delivers so it's no wonder he has signed to Barcelona-based label Irregular, home of The Suicide Of Western Culture and Lasers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The drums and guitars of Brooklyn's YVETTE thrash heavily like lightning striking steel. What makes this band special is the thoughtful order to the chaos. It's angry, evil and loud, but the precision ultimately makes YVETTE an unforgettable and important band.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Bloum</b> est un jeune groupe d'électro-pop parisien présent sur la scène française depuis un peu plus d'un an. Avec déjà quelques singles sous le coude et une belle notoriété, <b>Bloum</b> s'apprête à sortir un album au printemps 2014. Influencés par des artistes tels que <b>Four Tet</b>, <b>Burial</b>, <b>XXYYXX</b> et <b>Nicolas Jaar</b>, ils en ont retenus des sons synthétiques froids et de lourdes basslines. Sur <i>Faith</i>, le groupe sonne comme un crossover improbable mais séduisant entre <b>Kavinsky</b> et <b>Miss Kittin</b>, un argument suffisant pour nous pousser à les soutenir à travers cette compilation et les suivre au-delà de la sortie de leur premier effort.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Andrés Yeah is the lead guitarist of Mi Nave, an up-and-coming band from Rosario's independent music scene.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Head Clouds are a Gold Coast band who have been busy working on their debut LP for more than a year. Mirror's Image may be the first track we've heard from them but it's definitely no wallflower. Jaykke Maddison is a less erratic version of Wild Beast's Hayden Thorpe; there's hardly room for shirking away with that falsetto. A glorious trumpet crescendo and thoughtful lyricism lights up this track. A band to watch.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Os Mutantes, the psychedelic tropical band from the 60s, is one of the main influences of Boogarins, besides affinities with contemporary artists such as Tame Impala and Of Montreal.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Calgary, Alberta, best known as the home of an annual Stampede and being firmly rooted in cowboy culture, may be the last place you'd expect a synth-based power-pop-punk outfit to emerge from. But Teledrome is the latest cultural contradiction to come from Cowtown, and perhaps one of its finest. Boyfriend is a sample of the synth-laced solemnity offered up on their soon-to-be-released album.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kinetica & Motivado brings together Chilean producers Emiliana Araya and Mario Martinez. Although we have previously highlighted both projects separately, their joint work deserves its own limelight. Mixing Kinetica's mysterious, nocturnal vocals with Motivado's tropical beats, their collaboration gives rise to sensual, intelligent electronic music. Their first single, Hoy Quiero, was released on Chilean label Discos Pegaos.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From Santa Marta, near the Atlantic coast, and Sierra Nevada come this trio of very young members who are ready to unleash their music to the world.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">J. Arlin, an Australia-based Dane, released his third EP in December, Heartbeats Of Polaroids, with five folk-rock tracks. The least folk-ish and most rock-ish is Since November, which is one of those songs that reminds you of so many others yet still carries its own weight in all its pleasing pop-rock-ness, and comes to you here as a MAP exclusive download.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dominican hard-rock act NUX comes back into the scene with a new single. Their blasting energy is still intact after a couple years of silence, accurately singing about cryogenics, complete with mind-blowing guitar solos, war cries and haunting pauses.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For several years, Leicester's Her Name Is Calla have been an evolving beast of a band. They've always had a darkness and grandness to their post-rock walls of wailing guitars painted with serpent-slaying strings, but this first taste of their forthcoming album Navigator hints that even with pixellated digital landscapes they can still cast a shadow over your soul.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not much independent music comes out of the state of Gujarat, so when As We Keep Searching sprouted out of nowhere a month ago with The Tattva, we just had to bite. The post-rock/ambient three-piece are in the process of releasing a slew of singles that will culminate in their debut album. The Tattva, with easily relatable lyrics in Hindi, talks of a search for love. As We Keep Searching have promised songs full of emotion, and they've delivered.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Haciendo El Mal is a Mexico City-based chamber-pop quartet led by the slightly dark but mellow voices of Paulina Lasa and Karen Ruiz. Along with an accordion and cello, their melodies are bittersweet vignettes that draw a reflective mood on love and loss. Complicado (perhaps a wink to the Facebook relationship status) is just one piece of the 10 beautiful portraits that comprise their eponymous debut album.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BOKKA have been a little sensation in recent weeks. As musicians they hide their true identity, so listeners know only a few things about them - they're a trio, the vocalist is a woman and their music is influenced by Scandinavian electro-pop. You can check it out by listening to their self-titled debut LP or to stunning K&B, one of the greatest moments on the album.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gifted guitarist Kristian Prieto - a MAP alumnus twice over for his work as Harry Rag and as part of Alegría Rampante - brings his characteristic playfulness and adventurous spirit to new three-piece Piegrande. The debut EP of the band, augmented by Eden Cruz (drums) and Christian Robledo (bass), consists of six fun, easy-to-digest tracks, of which Perez, Oso is the breeziest. A great sign of things to come in 2014.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Peter Kelly calls his music Beerjacket and clues of its heartbreaking beauty are plentiful: one of his earliest and best songs is called Joy For The Sad, while some bright spark even set his melancholy masterpiece Jack Chasing Jill to the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Q-K32rNhg">devastating montage</a> at the start of Pixar movie Up. Yet his wonderful second studio album Darling Darkness, out on January 27 via <a href="http://beerjacket.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a>, is remarkably upbeat. Immaculate production allows the luminous acoustic folk-pop sounds to blossom, while enchanting opening track Antlers, here as a MAP exclusive download, ranks as a career highlight.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Electro-rock band LudiSTELO released their first single in November 2013, having formed two years ago in a Brunei hotel room. The members of the guitar-synthesizer-drums trio all have experience from other groups and are now working to show a different side of their joint sound with each release. Water Roof comes from the new single of the same title and through its many loops invokes a sense of floating in the air, just as the lyrics express.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's be real - if the industry was a caste system, psychedelic/prog music would sit on the lower rung. Thankfully, we don't fear throwback in this country. We embrace it with open arms and wild, flailing John the Baptist hair. Just Don't Move Me is the brand new track from Melbourne band House Of Laurence. If the image of Tame Impala's Kevin Parker in a white pressed suit, struttin' (barefoot) down the Fremantle boardwalk makes your insides feel like goo then this is dedicated to you.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rebekah Higgs' new release Sha La La is shot through with the spirit of 60s girl groups minus the innocence and politeness of those times. Higgs gets down and dirty climbing Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. She throws classic doo-wop pop down an echo chamber and what comes out the other end is a gauzy, hazy doo-wop/drone-rock hybrid that's utterly compelling. Loneliness has never sounded better.</span></div>

They have elements of post-rock which make their tear-duct bothering sadness soar - not unlike the way Low construct epic melancholy. Their second album was recently released by Bella Union and it's gorgeous. Watch the video of this live session track <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaQ9KCzJMhQ">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's no easy way to describe electronic music, especially when the sound explores multiple paths and you are constantly finding yourself in new territory. Tempelhof is an electronic duo from the town of Mantova and I think they are true explorers more than simple musicians. IDM, shoegaze, house, ambient - everything comes to build the striking sound that you will find in their new album Frozen Dancers, out now on Hell Yeah Recordings.</span></div>

He does so simply. With little manipulation, he finds a snippet of Hey Manhattan! by Prefab Sprout, loops it and milks it for all it's worth. From this basic sonic material he manages to make an easy breezy song that's good for any time of the year.</span></div>

In a market overcrowded with underdeveloped SoundCloud tracks, Chico delivers a coherently mixed record that transmutes and pushes forward genres such as nu-cumbia, trap, tribal and reggaeton, with a twist of humour and naughtiness. They're good for headphones (and twerking too!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Buscabulla is one of Puerto Rico's most promising emerging acts, a breath of fresh air in a musical climate that often struggles to bridge pop smarts with heartfelt and engaging music. Singer Raquel Berríos and her band conjure an intoxicating mix of classic cool with more forward-thinking flourishes on the group's first single Tu Loco Loco Y Yo Tranquilo, a cover of master composer Tite Curet Alonso's song made popular in 1969 by salsa legends Roberto Roena y Su Apollo Sound. Buscabulla's debut EP is due in 2014 - it's going to be a good year.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tiger Menja Zebra was born from the ashes of Camping, a Catalan post-rock band that achieved great success in the past decade. With this new project, while sticking to the post-rock genre, they haven't given up on pushing their boundaries.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Está Vivo perfectly titled his newest offering, How Strange. It certainly is strange, yet extremely alluring due to a fascinating mixture of robot-esque male vocals and whimsical female vocals that take turns floating above churning electronics. Let the track simmer and it will certainly take hold as one of the more hypnotic listens of the year.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aspen developed from the creative union between members of different bands. Influenced by the classic sound of British artists such as Badfinger and Oasis, their debut single boasts a slight psychedelic tinge. Aspen are one of the first bands on the roster of Macca Records, who also represent Los Paranoias.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Belle Arché Lou</b> fait partie de ces découvertes fortuites et magiques, tant prisées par les mélomanes - au détour d'une caisse de vinyles, dans un des rares <i>record store</i> strasbourgeois. Comment cet album d'un groupe vivant entre Paris et la banlieue d'Annecy a-t-il pu atterrir là-bas ? Un album, qui plus est, sorti il y a maintenant deux ans ? Parfois, il faut croire au destin</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">… Il fait bien les choses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Composé des frères Alexis et Wesley Paul, <b>Belle Arché Lou</b> fait la part belle aux mélodies délicates et empreintes de légèreté : vibraphone, carillon, cymbales et une guitare classique expriment par leurs sons la sensibilité toute particulière du duo. Des pièces orchestrales traduisant des humeurs différentes avec des instruments quelque peu atypiques, nous évoquent le trop méconnu <b>Cults Percussion Ensemble</b>. Dans l'attente d'un nouvel album promis il y a quelques mois, jetez-vous sur <i>Les Avalanches Tombées Du Ciel</i>, premier album du groupe, disponible gratuitement sur leur Bandcamp.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since their inception in 2008, Onda Vaga have avoided the steps that independent artists usually take in order to be a part of the music industry. It was a wise call. Thanks to word of mouth from a public that follows them whenever they perform, this folk-rock band have become a huge success, both locally and internationally (they made quite an impression at last year's Fuji Rock Festival in Japan). Tataralí is the first single from their recently released third album, Magma Elemental.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's easy to imagine that Belango Twist might have been found inside a dusty shoebox containing a mix of rhythm and blues cassettes somewhere in the Deep South. Surprisingly that's far from the case. Sydney swamp-rockers La Mancha Negra (which loosely translates from Spanish to "The Black Stain") recently delivered their second album. Packed with blues ooze and reverberated hollers, Belango Twist is a tune that's ideal for cruising... and smashing out a few letterboxes on the way.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't let the noisy, distorted lo-fi shell of Robotra songs trick you. This three-piece band from Graz and their pop melodies will catch your attention and make you want to sing along immediately. Morninglight 2 is taken from their full-length debut Tinker, which was mixed and mastered by Wolfgang Möstl (Mile Me Deaf, Sex Jams, Killed By 9V Batteries).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Marcelo Jeneci's new psychedelic/pop-influenced album, the single De Graça is one of the weirdest and greatest songs. Strong influences of the earliest works of Caetano Veloso and Arnaldo Antunes (with whom Jeneci still plays keyboard) can be easily heard, as well as Jeneci's talent for making catchy melodies that create the kind of feeling when everything is just fine and you don't worry about anything.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Dirty Nil want to be your dealer, and Nicotine is their gateway drug of choice.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Among the new breed of bands helping to renew the Chilean music scene, Fármacos stand out just as much for the many nuances of their sound - in which nods to electronica and pop are present - as their innate ability to create dramatic melodies that are hard to get out of your head. Despegarte De Mí is taken from their 2013 debut album Los Días Más Largos, released through Beast Discos.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A lauded and prize-winning poet, Nicolaj Stochholm chose poetry over punk back in the 1980s. In 2002 he again acquired a guitar, in 2010 he formed The Liquid, and on November 27 the trio debuts with the great post-punk album Atlas Interplan. It opens with Hang On, To You.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What happens when a folk singer makes a merengue song? The answer can be heard on The Endless Traveller Song, extracted from Charles Lavaigne's latest album The Birdfish. Amidst all the psychedelia and freak folk, this fun, melodious tune stands because it reaffirms Charles' Dominican roots, often lost in translation and his own peculiar identity. Dance off, then hear the rest of the album if you're into crazy musical rides.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The joining of two leading voices of two important local bands (Mamá Vudú and Can Can) gives life to this project that combines music and illustration. Mundos is the epicenter of talented musicians who bring their creativity and imagination into an album of 12 songs. Núcleos Activos Imaginarios is a good example of the evolution of Ecuadorian independent music, with Gorriones closing the album in a sublime way.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Primarily concerned with contrast, Michalis Moschoutis creates works that lie on the fringes of several genres: heavy processing and live electronics; restrained, unadorned improvisation that brings out the inherent primitivism and ritualism of music; cathartic dark metal; the plainness and intimacy of 16th-17th century lute works; and the subtle fluctuations of minimal drone music. His latest single was recorded inside old churches. Listen to the repetitive yet haunting acoustic melody of ActI and sink away into a dreamy cloud of harmonic beauty.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chrysalis was released with a video ahead of Crayonsmith's new album Milk Teeth and the title was a hint at the changes in sound. Previously a solo artist working with synths, samples and guitar, Crayonsmith are now a three-piece band. Simple in construction, it's pinned to a driving, purposeful rhythm, as Ciaran Smith's vocal beseeches the listener with endearing fragility. The pattern of melody that colours the wings as this track pulls itself free and beats away is mesmerising; light yet pensive, its transformative powers hint at the unfolding darkness still to come.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A gigantic electric shock: this is the music of Tiger! Shit! Tiger! Tiger! on their second album Forever Young. Fast songs, loud noises, dramatic melodies. You could easily point out names like Sonic Youth or Wavves or Male Bonding or No Age. It doesn't matter. It's the sound of electricity that becomes art and poetry. Read the titles in the playlist: Forever Young, Golden Age, Whirlwind Weekend, Fearless Youth, Rage... this is all we need right now.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a very short amount of time, Nagano-based Boe Oakner has been making great strides in her musical development. The 17-year-old started this year making lovely instrumentals and now she is working her voice into her songs as well. Cherenkov is an ennui-tinged waltz, featuring kitchen-sink percussion, pretty bell chimes and natural sounds like a rainstorm.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aarón Bautista has enjoyed a long career as a musician in some important bands from Mexico City's underground scene. Now he's going his own way with a solo project. His album doesn't sound very similar to stuff we are used to hearing from Mexico City nowadays. Or maybe it does, but in a very twisted and personal way. The record has a precious, yet punk, attitude, filled with psychedelia, gloomy folk and beautiful production. It almost sounds like something to sing along to while feeling drunk and declining in the middle of whatever scene you might find sophisticated.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arequipa is a small town in southern Peru, a place where fate strove to unite Gabriel Alvarez, Saul Piettro and Juan Arce, friends who then became Piettro.

Piettro is preparing its first album to be released as soon as possible.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">XXANAXX is a good example of how to bring together ambitious tunes and not-so-far-away-from-mainstream recognition. Although the band only formed in 2012, this year they have supported Austra and Hurts and played the Selector Festival, amassing a large number of fans in the process. No matter how you describe their music - nu beats or future chillout - one thing is certain, Got U Under is one of the greatest Polish tracks of 2013.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Puerto Rico's best-known garage-rock export Dávila 666 called it quits last year after touring the world in support of their second full-length. Founding member AJ Dávila spent little time mourning the band, instead focusing on his solo debut. The project's guest list quickly ballooned to Supernatural-era Santana levels, and Terror Amor became a who's who of Latin American indie-pop. The album, out in January on Nacional Records, will include collaborations with Mexico's Juan Cirerol and Chile's Alex Anwandter among many others. Ohhh (No Te Encantes) features one of Puerto Rico's most beloved singers and fellow MAP alumni Fofé Abreu on backing vocals, as well as Mexico's Jinmy Vitte (of Los Negretes fame) on acoustic guitar.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Call To Mind are based in Glasgow but originally from Ardersier, a former fishing village near Inverness with a population of barely 1,000. The influence of the group's upbringing is keenly felt in their music - song titles are sprinkled with Highland reference points, while their lush, smartly-crafted ambient pop paints truly idyllic imagery. At their majestic best, such as A Family Sketch, they give French darlings M83 a run for their money when it comes to atmospheric euphoria. Debut album The Winter Is White is due out in early 2014 through <a href="http://www.olivegroverecords.com/">Olive Grove Records</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vassline has been one of the finest acts in Korea's hardcore scene since it started. Six years after their third full-length, the band finally returned with Black Silence. It was well worth the wait, showing everyone that Vassline is still at the very top. The instrumental piece Overture To Recomposition features MAP alumni Jambinai with their unique use of traditional Korean instruments in part 1, before Vassline bring out the heavy guns in part 2.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">KO is the brainchild of Indianapolis singer/guitarist Kristin Newborn.

Golden Gal finds her working within KO's minimalist, two-piece framework, adding depth through layers of vocal loops. Newborn's vocal prowess has earned her opportunities alongside professional symphonies, but the singular intimacy of KO proves equally intoxicating.</span></div>

White Caves is the new venture from Melbourne songwriter Darren Cordeux. The former Kisschasy frontman has completely left behind the acoustic teen psyche of 2006 for a much looser sound. I've Lost carves a completely uplifting vibe out of sombre song content. Thanks to some clear-cut production, soaring vocals and a vibe that sounds like MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden fronting a slacker-pop band, White Caves is lending a new dimension of fun to typical 'pop-jams' right here.</div>

After a three-year break, MC and producer Bronko Yotte (Felipe Berríos) gets back on track with a new album, Con Eso Te Digo Todo, released through <a href="http://dilemaindustria.cl/">Dilema Industria</a>. On its 22 tracks, Bronko Yotte offers profound considerations about the system's incongruities, social relations and working life, without losing his sharpness and sense of humor. Bruma features Jamez Manuel (Zonora Point).</div>

The story of La Chiva Gantiva began in Brussels with a group of young Colombians who started playing percussion together. Driven by a desire to assert their roots, they started to blend Colombian rhythms with other styles of music such as rock, Afrobeat and funk. Today they are preparing their second album Vivo and we can enjoy, in advance, Para Arriba, a song about inspiration.</div>

Music is good for much, but in the case of Charlie Campari it's a lifesaver. It's what keeps him off the needle and his first solo release, Moon Cricket EP, tackles his demons and past life on the streets of Copenhagen and several overdoses - three of them fatal - on a backdrop of acidic blues reminiscing Lou Reed, early Beck and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Imandra Lake is the new project of Rein Fuks and Eve Komp of Tallinn band Pia Fraus, and follows a similar indie-shoegaze line but it's all fresh and they sing in Estonian.

Dalot is the creative alias of Maria Papadomanolaki. Ancestors EP, which was inspired by her grandfather's old photographs, is a reconstruction of fragments, not concerned with the accuracy of images and moments but with opening up the flood of memory mechanics to imagination and transformation. The songs of the EP reveal a cascade of emotions and offer an exploration of texture and atmosphere, as physical instruments merge with subtle electro-acoustic ambience and ethereal turbulences.

Guitarist Kamal Singh of erstwhile Bangalore post-rock act Lounge Piranha has struck gold with his newest side-project Hoirong.

The album is Singh's ode to the 90s alternative music scene and definitely wins over fans of dirtier, lo-fi music.</div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fernando Floxon and Alejandro Torres are the cosmic rockers behind Travesti, a band whose music is often associated with transgression and misunderstanding, with songs that are dense, powerful and provocative. Their lyrics, always clever, rough, usually offer a certain social criticism. Beduino is our favorite from Suicidio Latino, their fourth studio album.</span><br />

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The general assumption that tormented bed friends make better musicians most of the time is true - right? In respectable 'dream-pop duo' tradition, we hope these two are. Architecture is timeless pop right from the first off-beat. The track is set with slingback hooks, dreamy vocals and a fledging groove that sounds too much like Chairlift's Caroline Polachek doing a cover of Men At Work's Land Down Under for anyone to ignore.</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This band draws their inspiration from American surf rock of the 1960s. Accordingly, their rendition of The Beach Boys' Kokomo suits them so very well, not only because of the obvious band name correlation, but also because it blends perfectly into their own sounds. The aptly titled I Go Surfing is the first song of their four-track 7" EP of the same name that was released earlier this year.</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After eight years of silence, Otoño are back with their psychedelic guitar-rock. Their atmospheric, drowsy sound grows every second until it explodes in a whirlwind of white noise, a perfect landscape for their gloomy, self-reflective lyrics. Scheider is taken from the quartet's Páramos EP, released via LeRockPsicophonique.</span></div>

WCC mash up cross-talk recordings, TV series samples, Chinese propaganda songs as well as rock and hip hop, and put an overwhelmingly sarcastic touch to it. While some criticize WCC's sound collage approach as being too lighthearted, others can argue WCC are simply one of China's best and most clever sample players. Love them or hate them, one thing you can't deny is WCC reflect the true pop landscape of modern China.</span></div>

It's a very particular and special view that takes form in the track A. Grisales, inspired by Colombian TV's first diva, Amparo Grisales.</span></div>

Blent's music lends itself to the experimental genre but can be best described as The Postal Service meets Four Tet, coming together with the staccato pace of the garden city of Bangalore.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Esc are a Melbourne four-piece making music in the great Australian tradition of depraved pub-rock spliced with post-punk. The band's latest single, Atomic Shadow, is both menacing and danceable, with a tight rhythm section and harmonies that lighten Max Sheldrake's terse vocal.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Much like Klangkarussell's über-hit Sonnentanz, hugely successful in German-speaking countries and the Netherlands, fellow Austrians Maur Due & Lichter produce light, loungy and summery electronic music that works equally well in clubs, hotel pools and urban beach bars. This Night Was Meant To Stay, from which Faces is taken, is a concept album portraying a night out in Vienna.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arctic Radio, the debut album from Toronto-based musician Matt Cully aka EONS, is aptly named; the melodies are crisp like bitter north winds and his lyrics penetrate past even the warmest of winter gear. There is a warmth, though, a deep passion in the music that holds back the cold, as evidenced in Brothers & Sisters. Cully is joined on vocals by Misha Bower, and both are members of Bruce Peninsula, another Canadian treasure worth exploring.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Melié, who take their name from the French filmmaker Georges Méliès, released their first EP, Compartir, this year.

Neighbouring Grizzly Bear and Local Natives' imagery, Melié is one of the most interesting new acts in Chile's indie-rock scene.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Southampton is quite an unexceptional small British city, with a big port and a musical heritage which peaked with the birth of one-of-the-ones-that-isn't-Chris-Martin from Coldplay. This could soon change with the hypnotic swash of Dandy Warholian psychedelia, Glasvegas-ish 60s-gaze and the brooding Verve-esque dark-rock of Southampton's Pale Seas.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blood Pavilion is the electronic outfit of Jarmo Nuutre, one half of doom metal duo Talbot (a band you should already know - they have toured the world and just played at Roskilde, and they're awesome). Purrveyor is taken from Blood Pavilion's new album released on August 1. As you maybe already guessed from the name of the track, Jarmo does have a cat at home and it really happened to be useful to produce that sound sample used in Purrveyor.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut Off is a fastcore/powerviolence act from Athens.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Far Travel Music are a Mumbai-based, four-piece alternative rock and experimental band fronted by producer Arjun Kanungo. Their first release Not About You draws from progressive rock with a lot of meaty middle-end and then segues into a dubstep-style breakdown that takes the song into completely new sonic territory. The fusion of electronica and rock usually makes most wary, but Far Travel Music do the style justice.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sajama Cut have been praised by music critics as well as Time magazine, and were handpicked by MGMT to open their concert in Jakarta.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Idiot Songs, the collaboration between Pearse McGloughlin and Justin Grounds, is a contemporary interpretation of Dostoyevsky's The Idiot and hears the duo craft a musical concept around the Russian novel, with its tale of moral and social dilemma. Created for the most part while Grounds and McGloughlin were living in Ireland and Canada respectively, electronic beats are used to give pace and tension, while the use of classical arrangements of piano and violin give a timelessness that harks back to the chamber music of the novel's setting.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Young duo M+A define their music as "playful, sophisticated dance pop" and I could not imagine a better description. Maybe I would just point out that "sophisticated" does not prevent the sweat when you see them live. Phoenix glam meets Hot Chip beats. The first taster of their second album These Days (out in September on Monotreme Records) is When and it's the perfect soundtrack for the heart of summer.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yoshino Yoshikawa deals in high-definition pop music, the sort of stuff that does not try to engage in any subtleties. He does it very well, as evidenced on I Feel You, I Love You. The song is a bouncy electric number featuring a big, joyful chorus. Yoshikawa sings with just the slightest touch of vocal manipulation, which never distracts but rather adds to the sparking vibe this track goes for. It is joy delivered without any hint of irony.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mexico City's Tino El Pingüino has been labeled one of the most promising new voices in the country's hip hop scene. His 2013 debut album Tu Antihéroe Favorito shows him as a master wordsmith, always witty in his rhymes, a vast palette of flows and a unique approach to universal subjects with cruel irony, never exaggerated. Lo Juro, Mi Ex Novia Era Un X-Men ("I swear it, my ex-girlfriend was an X-Men") has a straightforward funky beat with Tino floating on top effortlessly, just oozing style.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Earth Mk. II mastermind Hugo van der Poel spent years playing in bands with childhood pal and local neopsych beacon Jacco Gardner. Now at the helms of his own project, van der Poel has enlisted Gardner to produce his Excelsior Recordings debut, Music For Mammals. Perhaps unsurprisingly, classic 1960s influences such as The Zombies and Syd Barrett form the basis of Earth Mk. II's sound. Yet, as album cut Together reveals, van der Poel also incorporates enough non-60s influences (e.g. Nirvana, White Fence) to carve out his own niche within the world of melodic neopsychedelia.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Steaua de Mare is a Bucharest-based band whose sound is a hybrid of prog, dub, psychedelic rock and contemporary gypsy music (manele). The instrumental group released their self-titled debut album in May through Future Nuggets/Ambassador's Reception.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mast. is Liam Rutherford, a young man who describes his music as "1-piece pop from Glasgow". So hot out of the box is debut song Romance that this recording was completed five days before MAP's publication date. The opening minute is a feat of mesmerism as the hypnotic, repetitive lyrics of "We've healed all of this, all of this, almost all of it" are delivered over a dreamy math-rock texture. While that genre often produces technical, abstract results, Romance instead makes an extraordinary shift in gear. An exhilarating chorus bursts into play, Liam's singing - about the theme of change - becomes even more spirited, and the song's emotional conclusion is strikingly tender.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Theatre8 offer light, charming indie rock with a remarkable ability to entertain, whether through music videos or in front of an audience. They just released their second album, featuring Yanghwa Bridge as the title track. Named after a bridge across Seoul's Han River, the catchy song lends itself to sing-alongs and is bound to stay with you long after you've stopped listening.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Formed by three friends, all originally from Madrid but now living all over Spain, La Presa are inspired by OBK, Yurena, Putilatex and Dioni (of Camela).

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brooklyn's Shark? is a pure rock and roll band that brings intensity and a sharpness of craft to each of their songs. On AOK, the band displays a knack for writing catchy hooks and grooves that can push the song forward second after second. A gutsy breakdown in the middle section adds an artful element to the already interesting track and makes Shark? a band to watch closely.</span></div>

San Dimas is an instrumental indie-rock band from Rosario, one of Argentina's largest and most cultural cities. Generación Espontánea is one of the best tracks from their latest album, La Música y Las Cosas, and it was also part of a compilation released in 2012 by Planeta X, their label.<br />

Originally a solo project for frontman Thom Savage, Kins made the move from Melbourne to Brighton in the UK two years ago and have been working hard at their craft since. Kin's new track Aimless is just that - it's both a dreamy saunter and an angular dance. Thom's distinct voice remains the subtle hero of this track. While this shares the unconvention of Local Natives, Alt-J, perhaps even Dappled Cities at their synth-tuned best, comparisons don't apply to Kins. One of Australia's baest exports and most underrated bands.<br />

Singer John Dawa and the band that formed around him stand for honest and unpretentious folk music. Two voices, a cello, a cajón and an acoustic guitar are all the ingredients they need. Their frequent live performances with a hippie touch (flower garlands on mic stands, that sort of thing) have earned them a constantly growing fanbase. Some Things Are Different is the opener of their full-length debut This Should Work.<br />

Banda Uó are like a big kitsch joke, a sense of fun that is manifest through their fearless use of pop references with Brazilian technobrega (which can be translated as something like "cheesy techno"). In this song, they use Two Door Cinema Club's Something Good Can Work as 'inspiration' for messing up.<br />

Air Marshal Landing are three friends who make music that sounds greater than the sum of its parts. Together since 2009, they've recently put the finishing touches on their first long-player, You Used To Be Me, which is ballsy enough to mix genres and is unapologetic in its catchiness.<br />

Emiliana Araya is Kinética and she's returning this year with II, her second album, this time helped by Milton Mahan and Pablo Muñoz (De Janeiros) in the production side. In addition to her usual electronic beats, Kinética explores pop and soul from an experimental prism, adding new elements to her intimate songs. Halo is a MAP exclusive download and a preview of her new record, which features collaborations from Marcos Meza and Fakuta.<br />

El Ombligo has gone largely unnoticed in the Colombian music scene. So that's why we want to emphasize this union of many musicians, local and abroad, from Germany to Mexico, under the command of Colombian bass player Santiago Botero. They are doing what they call a new folklore, starting from Andrés Landeros' cumbia to 60s free jazz. The fascinating Trinidadla is taken from their 2012 album Canción Psicotropica y Jaleo.<br />

Following up on 2012's acclaimed third full-length, Out Of Options, Bodebrixen aka Andreas Brixen and Aske Bode have released a great first synthpop taste of an as-yet-untitled EP which will be released later this year. The Wave is a summery MAP exclusive download.<br />

El Trio is a progressive rock band from Santiago who recently released their third album Las Manos. One minute is all it takes to really appreciate the magic of Canterbule Pt. III in which jazz and rock combine beautifully. You can hear and download their genre-bending songs on Bandcamp.<br />
<br />

The sound of Los Pescados is a mix of garage-rock, blues and grunge. The duo, Nelson Coral (guitar, vocals) and Juan Fernando Andrade (drums), from Manabí are like their albums - powerful and groundbreaking.<br />

Just a few months after his excellent debut as a solo artist, singer-songwriter Matti Jasu gathered the band again and recorded a follow-up album, laying down seven songs in an intense one-day session. The New Year is the first single off Pin On The Map and is fun, guitar-based Americana with sweet pop melody and harmonies. You can listen to the album online or buy the CD for a very affordable price on <a href="http://mattijasu.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a>.<br />

Jim Ver is a classically trained musician and songwriter who works on solo instrumental projects, film scores and movie scripts. His second EP, Pictures, works as a collection of ambient, soothing sound poems. It's clear that words are not needed to tell a story, and his tales are told in chords and cadences. For the most part, he minimally relies on piano but the effect, both subdued and majestic, creates a much more overwhelming setting and, as a result, it's difficult not to be dragged into it.<br />

Inspired by Nine Inch Nails, Ministry and Rob Zombie, Helmproyek sound like a demo by an obscure industrial band that has been locked and buried for a couple of decades and just recently found by an unlucky soul.<br />

At the forefront of grime production in Ireland, Major Grave is a bright spot, having built a solid rep from scratch in the under-represented genre, recently releasing a track on the UK's esteemed Big Dada compilation. Here he takes up'n'comer Ms Hazel's pop ditty You Cannot Break My Heart and with her vocal pristine, transforms its dance vibe into a bass-heavy baller with a sweet electronic motif.<br />

Wolther Goes Stranger was originally the solo project of guitarist Luca Mazzieri, from the band A Classic Education, but has now become a trio. The title of their debut album is Love Can't Talk. Maybe love can't, but Wolther Goes Stranger definitely do, and their speech is full of sex and synths, buried under obssessive beats. Music to get naked to. This summer is going to be very hot.<br />

Vocaloid, a singing synthesizer software most popularly associated with the green-haired character Hatsune Miku, has been put to more and more experimental usage over the past few months. Here's one of the best examples yet, in which the digi voice of character Sekka Yufu sings only syllables and become smothered in the synth blanket conjured by Tokyo producer k■nie. Would still be gorgeous without the Vocaloid, but becomes more intriguing with it.<br />

Peklectrick is the studio-based solo project of former Dripht guitarist Patrick Galea. It is an eclectic mix of guitar-driven music with abundant doses of reggae, some blues and a little funk. The music comes wrapped in socially conscious lyrics, a punk rock ethos and a tongue that is firmly stuck in cheek. Surreally speaking, it is the sound of The Clash meeting Beck in Jamaica to discuss the blues over some Scotch. The music is what award-winning producer David Vella referred to as "so cool it's almost illegal". Peklectrick is currently on an indefinite hiatus taking care of other business, contemplating his next move and drinking tea.<br />

Apache O'Rapsi, from the northern region of Mexico, is the bass player of an important local band called Suave As Hell. With his very mature solo project, he released a couple of singles in 2012, and now he has delivered Remedios Varios, an album that includes all those songs. The powerful music and naive lyrics emotionally encompass our deep Mexican roots, landscapes and flavours. Tarde Oscilante is one of those arid, nostalgic melodies.<br />

You only have to listen to Those Foreign Kids to know there's more to Haarlem than pretty tulip fields; their avant-garde noise pop is not only a ferocious aural assault but a welcomed one. The just-released track Get Eaten from debut album Zero Gravity Somersaulting Craze features vocals from Merinde Verbeek of Mineral Beings. Jump into their noisy universe.<br />

It displays a musical evolution as well as the professional maturity of each of its members. Latest single Sobrepeso boasts typically strong melodies.<br />

When you live in a country where rockism is still strong it's hard to find a band like Crab Invasion. Ironically, they started from (indie) rock origins and still use guitars, but in a different way. Sophisticated chord progressions, catchy melodies, vocal harmonies - it's all in the songs of this young group led by 22-year-old Jakub Sikora. And it will be much more when their upcoming debut album is released.<br />

David Santos' solo project Noiserv first appeared on MAP in 2009. Since then, Noiserv has conquered his place in the Portuguese music scene and is recognized as one of the most innovative young artists in the country. So much so that in 2010 he was asked to create the soundtrack for a documentary about José Saramago, the Nobel Prize winner. Noiserv will release his new album in October and Today Is The Same As Yesterday, But Yesterday Is Not Today (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE4ks5G-klA">see video</a>) will be on it.<br />

When Julian Brau and Rebecca Adorno met in 2007, their lives took a turn that led directly to Suturee. Now a four-piece trying their luck in New York City, Suturee still works with delicate orchestral pop arrangements that playfully oppose Brau's and Adorno's voices. The band turned to crowdfunding last year in order to finance their sophomore effort, Skim The Surface. One of the rewards offered through their successful Indiegogo campaign involved recording a cover chosen by the backer, and that is how today you can hear Suturee's unique take on The Misfits classic Skulls.<br />

Environments are an experimental act from Bucharest. Their songs are inspired by beautiful things such as childhood memories, books and peaceful places. Stefan Panea comes up with the core arrangements, which are then disfigured, enhanced and re-recorded live with Alex 'Para' Ghita (drums) and Marius Costache (effects and noise).

Close To Home is very much the sound of now - cut 'n' paste vocals carried on waves of brooding electronic pop and tribal drums. It's the colossal production that lifts Eilidh Hadden from teenage singer-songwriter hopeful to the realms of genuine contender. Comparisons to Ellie Goulding are inevitable, and apt. It's still early days for Eilidh but if she remains on this path then her future could be dazzling.<br />

Rock trio Telefly has been wowing live audiences in Seoul for a number of years. Two years after their first full-length, the band returned with the EP Avalokiteśvara earlier this month showcasing their own brand of psychedelic music. Lead track Meddle has a tough sound with great drive and energy.<br />

Oakland's Trails And Ways feels less Oakland and more Bilbao, Barcelona or Barranquilla, depending on how their first EP, aptly named Trilingual, falls. The highlight of the record for me is Como Te Vas, an infectious summer anthem guaranteed to play well in Ibiza or on the BART. </div>

Both bands are from the Concepto Cero family, so we recommend you to download the whole album and check for their latest releases.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Harmonies and punch-the-air victory songs are generally always in high demand. Sydney's Gang Of Youths are next. This sounds like Win Butler singing at your birthday and Julian Casablancas singing at your funeral at the same time. A Sudden Light is a loose, belter of an anthem with a modulating chorus, overbearing references to children, drugs and enough harmonic "WHOAHS" to easily make them your new favourite band.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Weaving together history, mythology and their own personal experiences, Ketch Harbour Wolves' new album, Queen City: Volume One, is their first of what is expected to be a multiple disc project that aims to create a sonic map of their home, Toronto. The Good Blood is an excellent gateway into this sprawling, ambitious project, and to Ketch Harbour Wolves' majestic, cinematic back catalogue.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After reaching recognition and fame through their solo projects, Alex Andwandter and Daniel Riveros (Gepe) - two of the most iconic faces of Chilean pop - got together in a joint project that, under the suggestive name Alex y Daniel, combines their musical curiosity. Their new single Cada Vez Que Invento Algo Sobre Ti ("Every time I make up a story about you") mixes Andwandter's penchant for dance music and Riveros' melodic instinct perfectly, leaving no room to doubt that, together, they're dynamite.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Culture and rebellion are at the center of this experimental piece, which revolves around the figure of the black anti-slavery advocate Sebastian Lemba Calembo. This track is a portal to that struggle and it's an essential component of the journey outlined by Hache ST in his new album, Zafra, which portrays the main ideas of life in a shared Caribbean island, and its intricate, passionate toils for freedom.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">English avant-pop or alt-rock or whatever the kids on the cobbled streets are calling it these days hasn't had the respect it deserves for quite some time. Percolating beneath the Mumford mirth and Adele success, there's a throbbing underbelly of eccentricity and experimentation that flirts with radio-friendly melody. Leeds' BODYWORK are one such act, muddling Roxy Music's odd shuffle with Wild Beasts and Heaven 17's falsetto into a sublime cocktail of alien grooves.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With all its members born in the early 90s, Constables is a very young band and is simply inspired by the three most important things when you are 20: sex, girls and alcohol. Musically, Constables offers melodic guitars and fast rhythms with a post-punk approach.

Irregular Heartbeat is a fine example of the current penchant in electronic music for soft vocals and punchy bass.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Playground Noise's second album, 8 Songs, brims with endlessly replayable, perfect pop tunes that glimmer with pure magic. Every note and transition is smooth and effortless, and there is such a wealth of brilliantly executed music. Brass and strings swarm beautifully around soaring guitars and vocals, and intense crescendos linger over delicate passages.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drawing Short Straws is a prog-rock band from Pune. This is their first single and a taste of what their debut LP will sound like. A combination of electronic and rock elements make for an interesting sound, which DSS are trying to hone.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of Indonesia's most beloved bands, White Shoes & The Couples Company make us proud. Purveyors of quality music, they're coming with a new EP that rearranges traditional Indonesian songs and invites us to dance with them. After playing around Europe in June, they'll release another EP documenting the tour.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taken from their debut album Lead Kindly Light, Solar has everything The Violet Roadkills need to make a good first impression. The four-piece hail from Dublin and use electronics and instruments to take vintage concepts in a fresh direction, resulting in songs that are simultaneously geeky and cool. Solar's assertive, warm bassline and beat build up to spangles of synths that sound like small studio commissions for 70s television shows. When the outer drift subsides, the beaming krautrock core of Solar begins to blast out, reaching a blisteringly heated finish.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something something summer jam. It is that time of the year when everybody starts nominating songs as the soundtrack to the warmer months, and here is the strongest candidate from the ever-sprawling Tokyo indie scene. Garden is giddiness reduced to sonic form, powered on by handclaps, neon basslines and yelpy back-up singing. At the center, though, is an irresistible jogging melody that rarely slows down. Recommended if you like: running on really hot days.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 2000, Andre Camilleri moved from Malta to Australia, where he continues to follow his musical ambitions. Having served his apprenticeship playing the streets of Berlin and Malta’s capital Valletta, wearing his trademark cowboy hat, his world is one of nostalgic reflections, acute and often intimate observations. Andre has released nine albums to date, with his influences including The Flying Burrito Brothers, Big Star, Uncle Tupelo and Hank Williams.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are plenty of people religiously devoted in northern Mexico, even the drug dealers have their own sacred figure there. Santos come from that cultural background, belonging to the 'ruidoson' musical scene of Tijuana. Santos is the brainchild of two brothers who have embodied their faith, but their faith comes from their lust and it is well printed in this new single. La Cosita has a very intense carnal desire and highly erotic resounding kettle drums.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A gang of best friends from small towns home-recording dreampop. Much like bike-life in Holland, Nouveau Vélo has a touch of romance to it. Kite, from their new Dazed EP, could be described as upbeat melancholia, one of those songs that makes you feel nostalgic for the things that are happening right now. Possessing a chorus that catches you straight away with its blurry guitar licks and far-off vocals, Kite is a dreamy summer anthem.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One day Rui Pereira decided to leave his job as a publicist to follow his true passion - music. He moved to the beach and began to make songs that would form part of his first EP, Déficit de Atención, recruiting a group of experienced musicians who soon formed TOURISTA. The band mixes its electronic concerns with indie-rock, although the labels don't matter when you start to feel a connection with the musical passion of its creators. Requiem is TOURISTA's latest single, take a look at its funny <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFB10WCDdg">video</a>.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elektra Zagreb began in Croatia, of course. After an EP, many concerts and experience, this Portuguese quartet, now living in Lisbon, recently released their debut LP, Dreams About Dying In California. Mostly inspired by rock bands, their sound is harsh, sort of The Stooges meets Suicide. Kesey Palms is a genial piece of music in which you never know what is going to happen next, a feeling that its <a href="http://youtu.be/qMytD32tjis">video</a> achieves even more.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">José Iván Lebrón Moreira (Las Abejas, Venera-3) created MoreIra after buying a second-hand Alesis Micron keyboard from a local musician. His mind racing with new musical possibilities, José embarked on an electronic solo project that is now slowly evolving into a fully-fledged band. Pao is the first single from his debut EP, available later this year. Noisy, glitchy, yet filled with heartfelt melodies, Pao is both powerful and personal - dealing with Moreira's paternal love toward his younger sister.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Such is my love for the sweeping, elegantly crafted indie-rock of Friends In America that their previous lack of recorded material resulted in me going to desperate lengths to consume their music. One time, after taking along my dictaphone to interview the band before a gig, I kept the 'record' button on during their live set just so that I could play their songs at home. This month, though, the waiting is over as FIA release their debut record <a href="http://friendsinamericamusic.bandcamp.com/album/what-it-is-to-be">What It Is To Be</a> - from it we have a MAP exclusive download of the brilliantly melodious Quietly Quietly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Asian Chairshot formed in 2011 and released their first official EP, Mask, in May this year. Equipped with drums, bass and guitar, the trio merges rock with Korean melodies in a powerful fashion, crafting a unique sound. Mask Dance starts out calmly but soon turns into a hard-hitting fest for the ears. The song's refrain borrows the rhythm of traditional Korean mask dance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Da Poet, one of the most showy producers in the Turkish hip hop scene, creates an innovative, sharp sound.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paula y Los Besos is the new musical adventure of singer, songwriter and poet Paula Trama. The band just released eight songs in the form of two EPs that range from acoustic-punk upbeat tunes to tender folk ballads. Bailar is a cover of T. Rex's Cosmic Dancer, with Spanish lyrics adapted by Paula herself. You can hear and download both EPs from their Bandcamp page.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adelaide's Swimming are sisters Katie and Angie Schilling and friend Sam Reynolds. Triplebrie is the first single from their new record Yes, Tonight. There are plenty of layered vocals and looped sounds on the album, but Swimming's simple outlook on a capella really does its best in an acoustic setting. The trio also sell tea towels as merchandise, so we can't really say anything bad about this band right now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can you imagine the Star Wars troopers having fun in a slum in Rio de Janeiro, listening to funk carioca in the summer and surrounded by girls?

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lainus is the solo project of Alfredo Ibarra who, after returning from New Zealand, has devoted himself to writing music and rediscovering his country. The Andes is the source of inspiration for his single Montañitas ("Little Mountains"), a catchy electronic pop breeze that links him telepathically to the new pop wave (Passion Pit, Phoenix), the Chilean psychedelic tradition and the now very trendy world music. It's a taster of his next album, due for release in the second half of the year.</span></div>

Proof of this is the endless number of projects of different genres she has participated in. But now, in her solo guise, her range takes her a step further than usual. We invite you to listen to Plena Luz ("Full Light"), produced by Eblis Alvarez (Meridian Brothers), in which Lina's vocals are confused and intermingled between bambuco and dark experimental pop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ghosting Season are a techno-loving duo from northern England. Until recently, their music was a marriage of glacial post-rock and warm late-night electronica as <b>Worriedaboutsatan</b>. Under their new guise, Gavin Miller and Tom Ragsdale are already readying a second LP of brooding bloops that spiral into something you could call evil party music.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From playing in side-project math rock and pop bands to her own contemporary, improvised solo efforts, the broad strokes of Rachael Boyd's taste in music have gifted the Belfast multi-instrumentalist with a keen grasp of melody and timing. Aim Too High is the title track of a new EP, alternative neo-classical pop with enchanting, urgent piano and strings. Freely flowing with ambition, the slight underlying jitter is calmed by a reassuring vocal intercession. It feeds the need for pop sweetness yet still sounds like substantial brainfood.</span></div>

Their debut album is called Haters Gonna Hate and someone wrote that it sounds like a grungier version of Black Lips. Uhm, well, OK. What if we stop talking and just dance to these marvellous and mighty songs? You will have fun, trust me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The boom in bedroom-based music makers in Japan over the past few years has produced a lot of great artists operating on a very DIY level. Tokyo-based Metoronori is one of the latest in this tradition. She makes discombobulated lo-fi pop where every element falls just into place. Her song v_v demonstrates this well - the sounds she makes seemingly out of step with one another, but the whole thing comes together to create an inviting track.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bletchley Park is an indie/alternative band who draw influences from post-punk and fuse them with dark rhythms and lyrics. In 2010, they released From Bletchley, With Love, a collection of their first works. Last year's debut album, My Body Fighting, resulted in three nominations at the 2013 Malta Music Awards - Best Album, Best Song for Tight Red Dress and Best Band.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's easy to behave in a nihilistic way when you are a Mexico City dweller. With no frills other than being raw as reality can get, Apocalipsis delivers a hybrid that borderlines on the ridge of post-rock, math-rock, hardcore and neocrust, without being too loyal to any of those. Grip zealously to the soundtrack of riots, burning flags and a society on the fringe of collapse... it's not the Arab spring, nor the Mexican spring. Actually, it's nothing but part of the Apocalypse.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For an album which boasts death as its central theme, Spilt Milk's Funeral Blues is not as morbid a listen as you may think. You may recognise the lyrics as a W.H. Auden poem, used in that harrowing funeral scene from Four Weddings And A Funeral that I'm still getting over. But thanks largely to Brenda Bosma's beautiful vocals, the Amsterdam quintet does an impressive job of giving a soft yet jangly, folkish spin to what must be some of the saddest lyrics bouncing around.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">La Tornado Lost Band is a folk/rock/country duo formed by Gabriel De La Piedra and Rodrigo Melgar. Their warm voices and nostalgic guitar sounds create an atmosphere of loneliness and calm. If you like Wilco, Bon Iver or The Replacements, you will love this duo. Wake Up is taken from their debut EP, Pastores On Strike, a collection of six beautiful songs available for free download from Bandcamp.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear Telephone, whose band name was inspired by a Peter Greenway movie, appeared on MAP in August 2011 with their song Providence, from their first EP. This month they released their debut album Taxi Ballad which continues their path through mildly electronic music ripe for reasoning and wonder, which will please fans of bands like The xx. Dear Telephone is releasing videos for each track on their album, such as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBpe3tynEFE">this one</a> for That Violin Lesson Sucks.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having spent his teenage years and part of his adult life living in the United States, Ikol Santiago returned to Puerto Rico in 2004 and quickly became part of the island's underground hip hop scene. His commanding vocal style - cool yet stern, clear and precise - developed through numerous collaborations with many of the island's greats. Ikol's solo debut, Iguacas, named after the critically endangered Puerto Rican parrot, is a deeply personal journey through the MC's experience growing up and trying to find his footing in life. Tampoco Tanto takes a look at our increasingly desperate society, turning anger and anxiety into something closer to wisdom - and perhaps a bit of hope.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quantum Drive, a project from Cluj, started with two guys who found that a shoegaze/indie/60s-revival approach to music fit them very well. Later on, other friends joined them in this journey. They draw their inspiration from bands such as Deerhunter, The Horrors and Tame Impala, and are definitely an act we'll keep our ears on.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prides are probably the most talked-about new band in Scotland since CHVRCHES. In fact, one listen to the fiendishly addictive Out Of The Blue - a staggering piece of dynamic pop that proclaims the arrival of a hit-ready proposition - proves the two groups share common ground, with Prides' debut single informed by current trends for 80s-leaning electro. It is also reminiscent of MGMT hit Kids, with its distorted, organy synth sound.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New supergroup Beast consists of some of the most well-known members from various bands in South Africa.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gage is a band featuring members from heavy rock MAP alumni Apollo 18 and The Quip. A complete contrast to the music of those two groups, however, this quintet has a much more acoustic orientation, playing on current trends in Korean music while still creating an original sound. Your Night is taken from Gage's recent self-released and self-titled EP and is a new take on the sort of melodies Apollo 18's Kim Daeinn would create under the alias Jelly Boy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of you living in the southern hemisphere like us, autumn is already here.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Electronic music in Australia has never burned brighter. Melbourne's Willow Beats are Narayana Johnson and Kalyani Ellis, an uncle-niece duo who are leading the fort of this country's best electronic producers right now. Fans of Mount Kimbie and Flume will gravitate to Alchemy fast. Willow Beats definitely have something beyond a magic touch. This is complex, spectral electronica at its best.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is no overstatement to say that Francis International Airport are Austria's most relevant band with an international appeal. With their 2010 album In The Woods, they took the local indie community by storm and made quite an impression at festivals such as Eurosonic and Primavera. Three years later, additional e-drums and synths contribute to the more electronic sound of its equally great successor Cache.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If their first EP, 2011's Echo, was "music to make breakfast to" then Lake Names' latest release is the soundtrack to a picnic lunch on the beach. The Nova Scotia band's Folly EP tastes like salt water spray and sunshine, and makes me long for a fix of vitamin D. My favourite so far is The Ostrich, but you can't go wrong with any of these four songs of sparkling reverby pop, available as a free download from <a href="http://lakenames.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Filipe Cadenasso, frontman of established independent band Matorral, started his parallel solo career a few years ago. He moves away from Matorral's rock sound to show a quieter and intimate side. Un Ejercicio is Cadenasso's second studio album, and it sounds like we were with him in the same studio. First single La Puetra, with vocals from Bernadita Martinez, manages to give a sense of closure at times.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Juan Carlos Torres is the driving force behind Bogotá's Globos De Aire, whose music has elements of shoegaze, post-rock and electronica.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Belachao is an acoustic/folk band that just released their first album.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alkaloides is a space-punk-garage band from the independent music scene of Quito. Their first single, Ella Viene Del Futuro, is a warm piece of music that invites you to dance wildly to the rhythm of the beats. The band has been honing their sound for four years and recently participated in a contest to create a short film about the region's independent music scene for the Sundance London film and music festival.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tiny Dancer is an 18-year-old from Sheffield who sounds as though she has been beamed in from 1978 - her voice is quirky, hiccupy, like Gwen Stefani doing an impression of Lene Lovich doing an impression of Kate Bush. Her song Who Am I? is catchy indie-pop with world music elements that could equally be chanted by schoolkids, footie fans and tribespeople from far-flung continents. The fact that she has Wayne Wilkins - who has written and produced hits for Beyoncé, Cheryl Cole, Natasha Bedingfield and Jordin Sparks - on her side augurs very well indeed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although Ireland's electronic music scene is always busy with the assorted output of its many artists, Lumigraph is the most interesting new name to emerge in 2013. Appearing seemingly from nowhere with a few tantalising clips, the quality on display suggests intense levels of experimental deliberation prevented this individual from releasing anything that sounded amateur. The result is expansive, progressive construction, as heard in Tampa Awaits, an attractive and engrossing genre-blurred track straddling the divide between house and techno. The full album, Nautically Inclined, is out now on Opal Tapes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nagoya rock outfit CRUNCH write on their SoundCloud page that new song Mori No Naka is inspired by the Radiohead track Jigsaw Falling Into Place.

Check out the vocals, delivered in a more relaxed manner before they pick up ever so slightly in intensity come the chorus. Plus, the imagery of the lyrics (translated via the artist link) are fantastical.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sharing the same breeding grounds as Earth Control, Dutch duo Vakantie have slowly emerged out of the art academy scene with their electronic noodling and keen sense for making improvised beats that'll put a smile on the face of the toughest of crowds. With their new Samling double CD release Fotonen, it's clear these guys are as versatile as they are productive. Hypnotic mantras of synthesizer sounds ranging from subdued soundscapes to meditative forms of gabber, Vakantie's music is what you might expect to hear if you put Mouse On Mars and Black Dice together in a studio on some tropical island. Sometimes challenging but always fun.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rainbow99 is perhaps best known through his work as a producer and music director, but followers of MAP will have already heard him as the atmosphere maker of SiwaRainbow. In late March he released his aptly-titled second solo album Dream Pop, treating listeners to plenty of dreamy electronica. Walk is a bright tune, a perfect soundtrack to a sunny spring day.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tiger Forest Cat is the promising dream-pop project of Filip Sundberg from seven-piece pop/rock group Syket (also well worth checking out). Over the past two years, in between gigs and studio sessions with his main hang, he has been writing and recording his debut album, Affairs Of The Heart. Everybody's Running, out now via Nomethod Records, is its first and very beautiful single.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New York's Radical Dads pack their tracks with blistering guitars, drums that feel like they're about to break and a female vocalist with the talent to soar above the aggressive backing melodies. Mountain Town is one of the best pure rock songs of the year and proves that music about to fly off the handle can also be highly intelligent.</span></div>

Its <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6eo-urU0m0">video</a> had more than 20,000 views on YouTube in its first week.</span></div>

<b>Jai Paul</b> est un type invisible qui a sorti seulement deux morceaux en l'espace de trois ans. Aujourd’hui, sans qu’on sache vraiment pourquoi, sans même que l’on sache si cela vient de lui, un premier album éponyme est apparu sur un <a href="http://jaipaul.bandcamp.com/"><span style="color: #990000;">bandcamp</span></a> au nom de l’artiste. Si l’album est <i>legit</i>, cela signifie que Jai Paul a fait une <b>Death Grips</b> en passant au-dessus de son label — XL Recordings — pour publier son premier effort musical. En attendant la confirmation des rumeurs, on se réécoute ses deux premiers morceaux.</div>

Après deux albums, un éponyme en 2005 puis <i>Crazy Sounds With The Aliens</i> en 2008, Maniacx disparaît pourtant. C'est seulement en 2012 que le groupe remonte sur scène.

A musical project led by Alan Soifer and Pablo Antonietti aka Panto, young folks in their own right (they both just blew out 21 candles). El Buen Retiro (on <a href="http://www.estamosfelices.com.ar/">Estamos Felices</a>, one of our favorite independent labels) is Carmel's first album, in which they manage to combine experimentation with electronica and melodies.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jesse Davidson is a 16-year-old songwriter from Adelaide. The track we've chosen may be called Winter, but we think it sounds more like Grizzly Bear recording a leisurely acoustic session somewhere off the Caribbean coast. Alongside muted drums and blissful guitar embellishments that resurface every so often, there's something really pure about Jesse's music. He manages to capture the beauty of isolation in a way that never seems forced. Honest, effortless indie-folk.</div>

The slow and steady vibration of spring echoes through the song's opening moments, before it shakes the last shards of ice off and swells into life. Songs like this are what keep you going through the isolation of a prairie winter.</div>

Although in the beginning WatchOut! stood out with a sound strongly influenced by Los Saicos' primitive punk and North American psychedelic garage, they've now turned to Latin America. In Guayabita, the first preview of their forthcoming album Tribu, to be released by local label <a href="http://www.bymrecords.com/">BYM Records</a>, the spirit of tropicalia, fusion music and Chilean psychedelia come alive to shape the new sound of WatchOut!</div>

We are happy to begin our participation in MAP with a different approach to what is generally known of Cuban music. Vivir La Vida is an ode to self-esteem. It's a song that invites reflection on our path to being and behaving in these troubled times. With his own particular stamp, Karamba uses cumbia, hip hop and rock 'n' roll, combining the freshness of his lyrics and refrains to recreate the impeccable taste that permeates Cuban music.</div>

Into The Night is a sublime blast of ravey pop from the synth prodder, DJ-cum-FX-whiz and perky chanteuse known as YYZ.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are a lot of stunningly good solo artists in Germany who base their music on looping, DIY and edged rhythms.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After creating a series of music pieces, appearing in theatrical plays and collaborating with prominent artists, Melentini has finally completed Explosions Around, The Desert Inside, an enrapturing debut album. It is racked with mostly bare arrangements and a stark, heartfelt vocal delivery that provides the stunning balm to bind this unsettling beauty together. Stricken with fragility, it combines affecting poetic lyrics and piercing sorrow with something ethereal that drags you into an achingly alluring world. It's a record you'll return to again and again.</div>

Fenix is in no rush to get to any particular destination, but rather sounds intent on unnerving listeners during its almost four-minute running time.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With Wander, Tilburg-based producer Lemontrip allows the listener to catch a glimpse of his submerged world. Being sparse with the distribution of melodic and rhythmic information, he makes sure to leave a lot to the imagination of his audience. In this sense, Wander seems to be the embodiment of the overarching theme of exploration, embedded in his debut album Nowhere. Released in November 2012 through his own Fog Mountain Records label, Nowhere consists of six stunning tracks, each displaying Lemontrip's craftsmanship for making slow-paced, melancholic electronic music. Now it's time for the rest of the world to catch on.</div>

The group have a couple of EPs under their belt, although curiously they remain unsigned. For a band with this much commercial appeal, you'd imagine that won't be the case for very much longer.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh the glorious fuzz! Obedient Wives Club take their self-styled Spectorgaze (remember this kids!) to all new heights with the release of their Murder Kill Baby EP. What awaits is the throwback-to-saccharine 60s girl-band inspired pop paired with an almost manic dose of fuzzed out backwash that only the evilest of musical geniuses would dare tread upon. Don't let any of their gentle imagery fool you - this music is a hard citrussy candy shell wrapping the warm centre of acid bombs. Stay lucid, or don't.</div>

Sweden's latest supergroup, Nord & Syd - which consists of members from Vapnet, Laakso, Holy Madre, Ironville and Penny Century - released their debut full-length Som En Människa on March 13 via Hybris. The album is said to revolve around death, love and alienation - in other words your typical melodic, solidly produced and, of course, completely outstanding Swedish indie-pop.</div>

They define their music as rock made using traditional instruments with electronic sounds and ambience inspired by outer space.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Omelettes' sophomore album seeks to part from the 60s British sound of their first work and the result is something much more psychedelic and introspective. Perfect Wave is one of our favorite tracks from the new record, The Drawing & The Traveller.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Never trust a happy song, right? While Tame Impala are still trumping the globe with Lonerism and Gotye's break-up song is STILL unfortunately stalking us everywhere, we do make mood-lifting songs here in Australia. Indie-pop ain't a dirty word, especially when bands like Them Swoops make tracks like this. Too Fast For Love will probably sound like the first time you heard The Shins. Felt good, hey? We're not such a sombre bunch after all.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The alternate girl/boy singing on Shark Vs Apple and its saucy, playful lyrics make it an instant favourite.

Half of Sex Jams also play in May 2012's MAP band and this year's Eurosonic favourites Mile Me Deaf.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The title track of Barbarosa's debut EP calls up images of the Wild West - rugged, romantic, ruthless and without rules.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perrosky, a duet formed by brothers Álvaro and Alejandro Gómez, offer a local interpretation of the music styles that gave birth to rock 'n' roll in the USA. Their fifth album Vivos is swarmed by distorted guitars, vocal effects and, of course, a great set of songs. Our highlight is the touching blues ballad A Mil Millas ("A Thousand Miles Away"), which depicts a man searching for himself but whose possibilities seem blocked to him.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Deeply influenced by the nomadic culture of north Asia, Tengger Cavalry's music evokes ancient times when wandering warriors, steeds and wolves danced across the great grasslands.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jam for the ears, that's how we can describe the sound of La Pulpafonic. A project born in Bogotá, it aims to present Colombian folklore within a new context and a new flavor: the taste of the fruit pulp. Electronic sounds literally extracted from fruits, mixed with an eclectic explosion of dance rhythms from this century. From their first work released in 2012, we squeeze out the song Camelia.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taken from GNOD's forthcoming album Chaudelande (released on February 25 by Rocket Recordings), Visions Of Load captures neatly - that is to say, powerfully and sprawlingly - the krautrockin', shoegazin', prog-metallic sludginess of this Salford band at their most freakily magnificent. "It recalls Can's ga-ga go-go music while the singer yelps like Alan Vega doused in even more echo," said our New Band of the Day writer, who nevertheless promised that, notwithstanding the far-out sonics and instrumental melee, you could still dance to it.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Candy Empire is a new band founded late 2011 by restless multi-instrumentalist Ervin Trofimov of acclaimed experimental rock band Opium Flirt. Trofimov has previously recorded in various genres such as instrumental prog-rock, acoustic folk and electronic pop, but Candy Empire's sound can be described as a futuristic version of Blondie with Neil Young on guitar. They have unveiled their new single Lucky with a colorful animated <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c3dxIPiflk">video</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inspired by the mysticism of Finnish nature, Hexvessel mixes an acoustic folk vibe with psychedelic and electric doom sounds, creating dense, spaced-out atmospherics. Woods To Conjure is included in the band's second album No Holier Temple. Hexvessel will be heading to the SXSW festival in Texas in March.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most advanced band in Munich's music scene is Pollyester. Although Polly Lapkovskaja and Manuel da Coll play in several other groups, the duo found a unique and remarkable style on their latest record Earthly Powers. Relying heavily on a groovy rhythm section with drums and bass, the rediscovered synths and Polly's vocals add up to something between disco and New Wave, and has been met with critical acclaim.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Backwood Sun is one of the most promising indie acts in Jakarta.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Few could predict a post-punk version of a techno track that took its vocal sample from a hip hop song. This cover version, however, was recorded for the third and final Quompilation album of Irish bands' favourite songs. Blawan's original Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage is a psychotic, six-minute stamp through disturbia and the four males of Dublin's Girl Band managed to eke out almost two extra minutes, using that time and their canny production values to flesh out and reanimate bare bones, breathing life through a spirited reiteration of the vocal hook.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brothers In Law is a young three-piece band from Pesaro, on the always surprising Italian east coast.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hotel Mexico, hailing from the historic city of Kyoto, have been one of the most chirped about bands in the Japanese indie scene for several years now. Many cite them as the first chillwave group in Japan, but that label does them a disservice. A.I. In Dreams, taken from new album Her Decorated Post Love, is laid-back but never lazy, the guitars creating a lush sound while voices dart by in the back. It is a song rich in detail, something this outfit excels at.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Suburbanite is the project of Maltese-Canadian Robert Pisani, backed by a floating collective involving a number of other local band members who have helped shape their sound. A Field Guide To The Suburbanite is a seven-song collection which embraces the spirit and naivety of the past; a frolic on the beach, the first love, Saturday nights indoors... all with hummable melodies. Listening to that debut EP is like taking a walk through Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, without the Oompa-Loompas chanting those annoying moralising ditties.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the country's best live acts, 60 Tigres started as a six-piece in 2005 in the northern city of Monterrey and has had many member variations since then.

Amidst the seedy rock 'n' roll crowd this enigmatic duo generated plenty of attention - both frontwoman and man rockin' high heels while channelling Bowie-esque vibes like it was nobody's business. On stage it soon became clear that their originality did not stop at their taste in fashion, combining drum computers with reverberant guitar melodies, groovy basslines and intricate, contrasting vocals. With their new single, due to be released on February 23 via Subroutine Records, APRIL has replaced their drum machine for a real drummer and their melodramatic side for a sound that embodies the same confidence they project in a live setting.</span></div>

Throughout the years the band has served as a sort of workshop for a lot of local rockers and now, after a long hiatus, have returned to the boricua scene with a new line-up and a solid three-song EP.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Influenced by warm, fuzzy guitar bands of the American West Coast, Kevin Harper first appeared in the Music Alliance Pact in March 2011 under the guise of Little Eskimos, a solo project that evolved into a group. He's back on his own again, not that you could tell from this talented multi-instrumentalist's canny knack of sounding like a full band is at work. Mr Harper is probably one of the most accomplished pop songwriters in Scotland, yet he's still little-known in his native land. If there's any justice, his forthcoming debut solo album Kingdom Of Wires should change all that.</span></div>

We love the singer-songwriter, and we love even more that Halcyon has broken out from that particular mould to become an emerging multi-instrumentalist. His arrangements are delicate and achingly heartfelt - sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, but it's more real than most of the crap out there.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Formed in 2005, Megaafonía have been active until this month, when they decided to split due to creative differences, although they will remain friends. They released two albums, Despechado and Tutto, and we will certainly miss their fresh pop (influenced by the likes of ELO, Xavier Cugat and Bom Bom Chip) and their irreverent and highly ironic lyrics.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dödens Dal is a duo with a fingertip feel and fondness for gloomy, instrumental and really rather mind-boggling electronica. They first came to our attention last year with their brilliantly dark debut single <a href="https://soundcloud.com/florafauna/d-dens-dal-det-st-r-skrivet">Det Står Skrivet</a>, and now they're back with the pitch-black follow-up Bakom Stjärnor, Bakom Tiden. Both tracks come from the album Gå Ensam Förbi Horisonten, released this month via Flora & Fauna.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Baykuş (once known as Kaotik) comes from the grey city of Ankara where our grunge acts always sprout fertile. Anatolian tunes bound up with post-grunge styling are common but Baykuş succeed in making their sound more solid and more garage-like. Gel Yeter is catchy enough to start a pogo party on its own.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Long Wives' standout track The Hollow Fin is deceivingly gentle. The softly-plucked guitar and the eased restraint of the vocals invite the listener to get close to the speaker and its warm, wispy, radiant sounds. But there's more to this track than meets the ear. Like most great pieces of art that explore the juxtaposition between surface appearances and the evils that can lurk below, the power comes from an unidentifiable element onto which the listener just can't seem to put their finger.</span></div>

Venant de différentes villes, apportant diverses influences, le groupe et ses membres nous parlent de leur rythme de travail, des pistes de l'EP, leurs concerts précédents et leur passé déjà bien étoffé dans d'autres formations.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dans la série de publications en retard qui vont débarquer les prochains jours, il me tient tout particulièrement à cœur de parler de <b>Cashmere Cat</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">En concert pas plus tard qu'<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/379648278791741/"><span style="color: #990000;">hier à Paris</span></a> à La Machine du Moulin Rouge aux côtés d'<b>UZ</b>, <b>Ryan Hemsworth</b> (et pour gâcher le line-up, <b>Sound Pellegrino</b>), Magnus August Høiberg aka Cashmere Cat a sorti fin 2012 ce qui est peut-être bien le meilleur EP de l'année (disons, à égalité avec l'EP éponyme de <b>TNGHT</b>). En 2011, Magnus répondait encore au nom de <b>DJ Final</b> et officiait aux platines avec suffisamment de talent et de compétence pour atteindre la finale du DMC World Championship. En 2012, il se forge une nouvelle identité, sort quelques remix remarqués pour <b>Lana Del Rey</b>, <b>Jeremih</b> ou <b>Chad Valley</b>, puis au mois d'octobre, un superbe EP dans lequel on retrouve sa touche <i>glitch-pop/</i><i>post-R&B</i> sur des compositions originales : <i>Mirror Maru</i>. 4 pistes, 15 minutes de bonheur.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Découvrez-le ci-dessous (on avoue un petit faible pour <i>Mirror Maru</i> et <i>Secret + Lies</i>) :</span></div>
