Dreamland / Cordafonia

The rich orchestral textures in Dreamland from the self-titled album by Cordafonia is truly invigorating to listen to. Trying to find out who Cordafonia is was a fun challenge. The orchestral intricacy of Dreamland made sense when I found out that the name behind it was Adrain Sutton, a British composer who does most of his work writing orchestral scores for films. On some sites, Cordafonia is his stage name and on others he has no stage name at all. Sutton has taken his experience in composing to the electronic realm and has made great use of it, creating fantastic landscapes of sound.

Enjoy listening to Dreamland.

Goth Star / Pictureplane

Along with having hilarious/awesome publicity photos, Pictureplane, the stage name of Travis Egedy, brings creativity and intent to every aspect of his art, making for very interesting electro enjoyment.

I Don't Like Your Band / Annie

"I Don't Like Your Band" is my favorite track from Annie's newest album Don't Stop. It has a great opening and stays consistently danceable and includes some really interesting synth layering. A great example of her progression since her previous album Anniemal.

I Get Around (Midnight Juggernauts Remix) / Dragonette

There's much to be appreciated about great pop music and the British/Canadian band Dragonette is doing a good job at turning out some yummy gems. And if that wasn't enticing enough, throw in a bad ass beat and re-work by Midnight Juggernauts.
