MICACHU & The SHAPES
Fascinating art-punk act from London on Rough Trade Records. "An ear-bashing of crazy-paving beats, junk-shop punk, electronic drones and deceptively mellifluous bedsit pop." -- The Times
"Staggeringly inventive, madly capricious, and utterly unpredictable, this is pop for the 2010s." -- Dazed & Confused

TUNE-YARDS
tUnE-yArDs' debut, Bird-Brains is "an otherworldly textured collage of unrefined fuzzy sounds [that] shifts from lyrical melodies to rhythmic pulses, at times resembling a beat sample-heavy, DJ experiment and others a lo-fi, indie-folk tune." -- Venus Zine

TEMPO No TEMPO
"In the past, they rode the line between hooky dance-rock and artier sounds, but the group writes that they've 'grown out of their old indie rock shell, and shifted to something weirder, funkier, and much harder to pinpoint.' True enough. The bass line is thick and driving, the guitar and vocals scratch the groove like it's an itch, and the whole thing leaves you wanting more." -- Bay Bridged
