Ugly Kids Club – “My Soul”

Posted on January 23, 2012 by jon @ aerial noise

Based in Nashville TN, Ugly Kids Club is the music collaboration of Steve Wilson (producer, songwriter, guitarist) and Aliegh Shields (vocalist, lyricist, guitarist). The pair formed in early 2011 when they discovered their shared love for minimalistic rock duos such as Sleigh Bells, Crystal Castles, and The Kills.

Steve is a Grammy Nominated rock producer and songwriter by day working with bands such as The Juliana Theory and Jonezetta. Aliegh is a bartender who grew up on stage and in her bedroom teaching herself guitar. Their contrasting musical backgrounds helped form their unique sound of crunchy beats, fuzzy guitars, and undertones of synth-pop. Check out “My Soul”, off the duo’s self titled debut album released January 10^th on iTunes…

Alex Fedorov – “Last Forever”

Posted on January 4, 2012 by jon @ aerial noise

A refreshing advancement of the established post-rock premise, self-taught guitar prodigy Alex Fedorov’s nuanced, polished sound offers an alluring modernity, while still retaining a depth and complexity reminiscent of The Album Leaf or Mogwai. Fedorov seamlessly weaves elements of Heavy Metal, Ambient, Trance, and Classical to craft a signature sound that transcends genre lines, and appeals to a vast array of tastes. Currently unsigned, Fedorov continues to work out of Bedrock Studios in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, and his already extensive library of material can be further explored at http://www.reverbnation.com/alexfedorov…

Kauf – “Lost in Records Mix”

Posted on December 11, 2011 by jon @ aerial noise

We introduced you to Ronald Kaufman, AKA Kauf, with the noir thriller “Relocate” a while ago, and we’ve been following him closely since. It’s been a minute, but the Southland’s Kauf has checked in with a DJ set released through the Lost in Records website. He also has a remix for the Tony Castles song, “Heart in the Pipes” coming down the pipe later this month, again through Lost in Records, so we won’t need to wait quite as long for the next Kauf post…Kauf’s music truly captures the darker side of living in Los Angeles, and his captivating, darker perspective explains why he is currently one of the city’s quickly rising stars…

MANOR – “Rhodesia”

Posted on November 21, 2011 by jon @ aerial noise

Adelaide-based duo MANOR materialized nearly a year ago as Nathaniel Morse began writing and collaborating with Caitlin Duff. Touched by The Beach Boys, Paul Simon, and the blurry brilliance of the Cocteau Twins among others, MANOR makes rich, intricate pop music driven by a jangling guitar, and built atop a foundation of multi-layered percussion. The duo’s first single, “Rhodesia”, inspires wonder while acceding skyward towards a spectacular crescendo where spectral, lilting vocals are aligned with Nathaniel’s icy, reverb-drenched guitar. “Rhodesia” is out now on iTunes, and MANOR’s debut LP is currently being recorded, and is due for release in 2012…

August Eight Ft. Nina Foot – “Love Trip”

Posted on November 14, 2011 by jon @ aerial noise

August Eight may or may not have issues with authority, but don’t allow the sporadically surly demeanor to distract from a profound talent that became apparent around age 8. Eight has been an outspoken opponent of self-limitation, and has never believed in stifling other creative urges. Distractions to some, Eight claims his music would be void of it’s signature depth should he be unable to enjoy his alternative artistic pursuits. The primarily self-taught August Eight explains a conspicuous fascination with different genres and artistic mediums by recalling his travels as a citizen of the world; embedding himself amongst our planet’s most exotic societies, soaking up culture, and marveling at indigenous song and dance. A strong believer in not setting limits to what one is capable of, and always overflowing with brilliance, Eight handles his own graphics, photos and website. You might call the 21-year-old Californian an ultra-auteur, who capably produces, mixes and records his own music in a private, self-built studio in the hills above Los Angeles. With plans to release his first official solo project this coming summer, August Eight has been relentlessly writing and producing tracks for an upcoming EP that will mark the beginning of a ceaseless tour of enchantment…

Modus Pony – “Modus Pony” LP

Posted on October 9, 2011 by jon @ aerial noise

From the people who brought you Suede Ape, comes Modus Pony, the new instrumental solo project from Matt Ackerman. The self titled, debut album is a collection of experimental ideas, born during countless hours of bedroom daydreaming, presented and served to you as a traditional collection of typically succinct pop-songs. The album is a buffet of bite sized, experimental pieces that can be listened to casually, or examined and picked apart meticulously as an extended piece of audio-art. The album is currently available via bandcamp, with two free tracks available for download if you’re looking for something odd yet catchy, while cerebral in a “I-see-what-he-did-there” kind of way….

Pallers – “Come Rain, Come Sunshine”

Posted on August 13, 2011 by jon @ aerial noise

“…When creating we pour everything out that has been collected in the head during decades of intense listening. One leg is always standing in the green grass of pop while the other leg is out on its own, wandering between places such as dance-floors, sandy beaches, cold concrete and a weightless existence in a bed or a hammock…” – Pallers

The duo known as Pallers is made up of long time friends Henrik Mårtensson and Johan Angergård, who connected while exploring Stockholm’s nocturnal scene, experiencing the glamor of Southern Spain, and slumming it on the floors of German clubs. Now, their first full-length album, The Sea Of Memories, will be available on September 27. The LP was produced and recorded over three years in apartments, basements, villas and cabins in Pallers*, La mar, Stockholm, Miami and Cape Town. (* ‘Pallers’ is the name of a neighborhood where one of the members grew up). Half of the duo is a photographer with a love for ambient, trip hop and electronica while the other is deeply involved in the world of pop, yet Pallers manage to integrate these seemingly incompatible components with a style and grace all their own…

SAUR – Snare Me Up (Original Mix)

Posted on August 12, 2011 by jon @ aerial noise

The new track from SAUR, is called “Snare Me Up” and it’s a different take on Moombahton; he’s thinking Dutch, Tech-House, and Moombahton combined into one. He’s also just supplied a remix for the new Frank Lucano EP, Baila, and that comes with other remixes from Italy, as well. SAUR is a very busy man, and we love hearing from him because it’s always something fresh and inventive, especially when he melds Mombahoton with Tech-House…
