Om - Live at Amoeba Records

Om performs at Amoeba Records, Enjoy!

Autolux - Future Perfect - 2004



This isn't your typical overdriven, alternative rock/indie trio. Combining experimental rock themes with poppy chord structure and indie effects, Autolux's Future Perfect still melts my heart even after hearing it several hundred times. The trio formed in Los Angeles, CA in 2000 and played two shows at the Silverlake Lounge before releasing a five song EP entitled "Demonstration" which was recorded on an 8 track in their rehearsal space. I don't want to say much more, listen to this album, its what indie alternative should sound like.

True Widow - True Widow - 2008



It seems like everyday I find a new genre. Branching off from shoe-gaze and noise, the Dallas, TX trio True Widow has been dubbed many things: stone-gaze, slowcore, sonic noir, etc. Their self-titled debut is a reverb-soaked, sonic wonder with menacing undertones and haunting melodies that conjure images in black and white. I just missed them in May when they played in NYC but I will not miss them the next time around.
