songs from Andrew Morgan, Tame Impala, Teenage Fantasy, Harlem Shakes, and Jeremy Jay

Andrew Morgan

Woozy autumnal orchestral pop from a guy in EN-D's former home, Lawrence, KS. Morgan makes lush, sprawling albums with breathy vocals and some melancholy tucked in the mastering. Imagine if Dorian Gray hired a house band...
RIYL: Left Banke, the Zombies, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith

Jeremy Jay

K-Records brings us another gem of indie-bliss, this time from Jeremy Jay, a boy who seems so self-consciously hip that he could guest-edit The Fader. Oh young Jeremy, with your minimalist pop hooks, snaps and hand-claps, how you mystify us.

RIYL: Beat Happening, Joy Division, Belle and Sebastian

Tame Impala

Drug-drenched psych from Perth, Australia. This is the band EN-D wants to play in at the moment. Simple, chugging rhythms go under dueling guitars, the occasional drum solo and vocals that might be sung by a drug-dealer or commune-leader.

RIYL: Dungen, Gong, T-Rex, Jimi Hendrix

Harlem Shakes

Shambling, manic pop from the scenester cesspool that is Brooklyn. Last year they released a pretty brilliant ep called Burning Birthdays and, while it's not the unexpected thrill that BB was, Technicolor Health definitely warrants more than one spin.

RIYL: The Walkmen, French Kicks, the Strokes (don't be hipster prick)

Teengirl Fantasy

Weirdo IDM from somewhere obscure and fantastic but also seemingly pedestrian. Maybe the sewers of Houston or a office park in Knoxville. TGF makes some atmospheric loops that succeed in keeping EN-D completely detached from the panic of Seoul's subways and sidewalks.

RIYL: Telepathe, White Rainbow, Dan Deacon
