PHYSICAL EDUCATION: "contradiction of wishes”Psychedelic textures, swooping vocals, industrial percussion, saxophones, handclaps: these Brooklynites are a lot, in the best possible sense.Deluxe: "Over and over until the end of us”This "post-disco" duo from Los Angeles put a grim spin on synth-pop that's a little gothic, a little punk and utterly awesome.Pale blue eyes: "tv flicker”Pillow-soft grooves and floating rhythms, built around one of the most infectious alien synth lines in recent memory.Children's Pool: “That's physics, baby”Infused with emo with elements of math rock, progressive, indie, and even jazz, these Florida newcomers are poised for greatness.Jungle Rat USA: “love each other”Initially released in 1971 and shrouded in mystery until last year, this funky gem from Panama is a prime example of "souldies" (aka soul meets R&B).Ginger root: "loreta”Inspired by Japan's "city pop" movement of the '70s and '80s, Ginger Root describes her music as "aggressive elevator soul": direct, but also incredibly smooth.
