All-round Indiepop | Monokle finally released their third album. While “Ideas Aloud” from 2007 vanished with ElektroSound, “Teasurus” found a safe home at well-established Ideology Netlabel.

Japanese Akira hails from Tokyo and delivers wonderfully calm Electronica and Guitar-based Ambient on his “Lycoris Radiata” album.

Melodica Electronica | This release came as a surprise for me, a sweet one though. Koen Park is the IDM moniker of Ian Hawgood, a guy featured a lot at Phlow Mag and whose name you probably heard already. While I like his solo works better, Koen Park’s tiny “84′ 85′” EP is an instant [...]
