The One AM Radio - Sunlight



The One AM Radio is the musical project of Hrishikesh Hirway, a composer and songwriter from Los Angeles. The sound is often characterized by Hrishikesh's lush, soothing vocals over dream-like instrumental arrangements. He does most of his own recording, playing several of the instruments and producing all the beats. The style borders electronica, folk, post-rock, chamber music and ambient music.

Born in Massachusetts, Hrishikesh began The One AM Radio while being a student at Yale University, where he studied art and film. After moving to Los Angeles, the project expanded to include new bandmates Scott Leahy and Fontaine Cole.

Sunlight is the lead track from the new album Heaven Is Attached By A Slender Thread. The song is about driving all night through the empty city, waiting for the sun to come out and bring the chance to start over.

Galaxie - Camouflar



Galaxie , formerly known as Galaxie 500, is a francophone indie rock band, formed in 2002 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Under their original name, the band released two albums, Galaxie 500 (2002) and Le Temps au point mort (2006). The lineup that recorded Galaxie 500 consisted of Olivier Langevin, Pierre Girard, Fred Fortin, Simon Gauthier and Michel Dufour.

Several changes in personnel occurred between the recording of the two albums. For Le Temps au point mort, Langevin was joined by returning members Girard and Fortin, Vincent Peake of Groovy Aardvark (1986–2005) and Frank Lafontaine of Karkwa.

Camouflar is taken from their third album, Tigre et diesel, which was released in February.

Hoop Dreams - XCPR



Hoop Dreams is a mellow indie pop band from Blacksburg, made up of Max Brooks and Jeff Haley (former members of Wild Nothing), Tommy Davidson (Dream Cop), Jordan Mrazik, Julie Shepherd and Marcus McDonald. They make clattering, slightly neurotic pop songs in the vein of a deconstructed Cure.

The band is currently mixing a batch of songs for an LP release with Captured Tracks due out late this summer / early fall. Their first ever 7", XCPR, was released on 21 June. It stands for “cross country personal record”. Basically, it's to get people moving fast: dancing, running, speeding down the road.

Three songs have been released slowly over the past few months: Dream Analysis, Inner Ambient and Sofija. There are no plans for a record release yet.
