If you like: Radiohead + dark electro beats From: Los Angeles Berb’s rating: 3/5 A bit too dark for repeated listens (I need peppy stuff these days), but I dig the production and vocals here. If you like this, definitely check out her new song below. Good stuff!
If you like: ethereal voices, experimental orchestral, Son Lux Berb’s Rating: 4/5 From: USA Shara strikes again, though in a different tack from her last single from the upcoming album. I don’t think her soprano is necessarily for everyone, but for me, yes please! “Dreaming Awake” is another of her “mom songs” (e.g. the tear-inducing “I Have […]
Since I’m getting to this late, the full album will probably no longer be available to stream on NPR – sorry about that. I’ll just repost a previous grab bag track below, and let the cover art do most of the speaking here: If you like: singer-songwriter, cuddling with kitties in a warm sun Berb’s Rating: 4/5 From: New York via […]
If you like: girl pop of the best sort Berb’s rating: 4/5 From: USA I’ll join in the chorus on this one and agree that this is the stuff good pop is made of. What one rather expects when a track is associated with names such as Michael Angelakos (of Passion Pit), Cashmere Cat, and […]
If you like: marching bands, orchestral pop Berb’s Rating: 3.5/5 From: USA Aaaaand, she’s back and as good as ever! The bridge at 1:41 = woah.
If you like: any of these boy-girl electro-pop duos (AlunaGeorge, Prinze George, ASTR, C A T H E D R A L S). I’m not saying they all sound the same, just that they are all excellent in their own ways. Berb’s Rating: 4/5 From: Florida, USA Unfortunately they are only available for download on […]
If you like: avante-garde pop like Dirty Projectors, but more off-kilter and tribal Berb’s rating: 4/5 From: USA If you aren’t inclined to watch the video, these two words may change your mind: Pee-wee Herman. Merrill Garbus is one of those artists I greatly admire, but it’s hard to consistently love her music. On her […]
From: USA Berb’s Rating: 3.5/5 If you like: Really, what else can I say? Natalie Merchant! I don’t know about you guys, but this totally makes me look forward to her new album.
Rating: 4/5 From: New York, US If you like: M.I.A., Santigold, Frank Ocean, Major Lazer… *Edited with corrections pointed out by contributor below So… I was going to write a post about this a couple of months ago (the album came out in January), but I don’t really like to write a post until I’ve […]
Genre: orchestral/experimental pop Berb’s Rating: 4/5 From: Detroit, USA This is my favorite song off the free sampler available to download on Noisetrade. My absolute favorite song of hers is definitely “Escape Routes” – you probably don’t want to be around me when I’m enthusiastically trying to hit those notes! If this makes you itch […]
