Cougar Microbes

Portland’s Mackintosh Braun recently released debut album ‘Where We Are’ prompted random outburst of a toe-tapping at Cougar Towers.

Their brand of stylish/stylistic pop is filled with luscious melodies and dream-like sequence, not too distant from the sound of French Horn Rebellion, another electro-tinged duo we recently featured.

The result is a sound that is both suitable during the pre-saturday night euphoria as well as during the Sunday morning come down.

‘Where We Are’ is out now on Chop Shop Records.

Mackintosh Braun – Could It Be

Here is the cheeky new video from Milwaukee siblings French Horn Rebellion. Filmed whilst the brothers were doing a magazine film shoots; I think it both glamorises and pokes fun at rockstardom.

‘This Moment‘ precedes the bands upcoming debut album ‘The Infinite Music of French Horn Rebellion‘ due in late november.

French Horn Rebellion – This Moment

Brooklyn based power-duo of Paul Hammer and Deidre Muro, known as Savoir Adore, certainly knows how to rock in one of the most uniquely indie styles to hit the streets yet.

Organs, electrics, and usually with almost more tambourine than drums; They weave it all together with an unimaginably catchy kitschy vibe. Incredible girl/boy vocals and a solid pop-rock back track really solidify the sound they bring to the table.

After meeting whilst attending NYU, the two discovered they shared a love of music, then on a whim decided to whip up a concept album. Their friends then pushed them to keep bringing the tunes, which is usually a good indicator you’re on the right track, lest you have sham friends.

Now they’ve built up an exceptional musical catalog and come to the forefront of NYC‘s music scene. Though they’re not quite the MGMT of Cantora Records newest acts just yet, but they’re well on their way.
