Sylvan Esso – Self-TitledPartisan Records– out May 133.5 / 5 Electronic pop duo Sylvan Esso swagger from Durham, NC with their debut album: all pop, clean, confident.

Bailiff – RemiseSelf-Released-out April 223.5 / 5 Chicago trio Bailiff proudly pronounces their diverse musical loves: John Lee Hooker, Radiohead, Dylan and Muddy Waters.
