stellastarr* | www.stellastarr.com/

Where many bands are often little more than a showcase for one persons ability, stellastarr* is quite clearly a creative outlet for all four of its members, which is precisely what makes their wonderfully complex, multi-layered, personal brand of music so easy to love. At times exploding as guttural anarchic pop, at others reveling in beautiful new wave gloom, all rooted in a profoundly poetic lyrical sensibility.

Youth Group | www.youthgroup.com.au/

Youth Group play experimental pop music, plucking sublime melodies from sonic mayhem. Propelled by a rhythm section willing to drift into looser patterns, as well as play it straight to the floor, they explore feedback-driven noise-rock and wistful melodies with often-schizophrenic results. Their live set is often a sprawling barrage that shifts from cool disdain to sonic anguish.

PS | www.ps-nyc.com/

PS is an ensemble with 6 members.

The key to the sound of PS is collaboration

Alexi Murdoch | www.aleximurdoch.com/

“There's nothing wrong with space,” writes singer/songwriter Alexi Murdoch in his debut CD booklet. And that's all he writes, leaving those precious pages that most fill with lyrics, credits, photos and accolades, refreshingly empty. That is the gift of Murdoch's music as well. In his warm, richly timbred voice and accompanied by acoustic guitar, the Scottish-bred Murdoch conjures sparse, poetic images to reclaim space and unfold music in his own time.
