Loyal Divide, electro-rock scions off the Chicago-Columbus corridor, have teamed up with Kilo Records to release their much anticipated full-length album Bodice Ripper. Congratulations all around — because this music was itching to get off the shelf, having been initially scheduled for release somewhere around early 2011. But, wisely,...

Good news for Chappo fans — the Brooklyn-based space lullaby pop gurus will be releasing a new EP called Plastique Universe II: Pisces Princess on Monday, August 15th. QRO’s been fans since we caught Chappo at Northside Fest a couple years back (with Tayisha Busay, Planet Rump & more)...

Black Books is a sweet sounding dream pop band out of Austin, Texas that pushes the experimental envelope a bit further than most ambient, gaze-y indie rock without losing that approachable southern charm. I like everthing about this 4 song EP An Introduction To…, so I’ll just shut up...

(UPDATE: JUST REALIZED THE EMBED CODE ONLY PLAYS A 30 SECOND SAMPLE, WHICH IS FUCKING WEAK, SO HEAD TO THE SPIN POST FOR THE FULL MONTY) We don’t usually do the copy & paste sort of post at MMM-MMMP3s, but there are a few massholes and/or masshole sympathizers at...

Dark folk visions leavened with a pinch of background optimism marks the latest album Dark Hours from Berlin-based musician Jacob Faurholt. Think: Le Days on sporadically-effective depression medication. The featured track below "Untitled" comes off as a good, but ordinary, stark folk ditty until about the 1:00 mark, when...

Psych-pop bombardiers Spanish Prisoners mix analog & electro tricks for a cool Postal Service-meets-Gorillaz-meets-La Big Vic-meets-Spoon-meets-Slowdive-meets-a whole lot of other stuff. It’s a mish-mash in a pleasant way, kind of like Sheperd’s Pie. Comfort food for the indie music loving ear. You could do worse than the catchy, martial...

Brooklyn-based guitarist and composer Kevin Serra dreams up some cool ambient landscapes as Cloud Seeding in these songs that sport the pop fantasy appeal of a Beach House or Julee Cruise/Badalamenti production, delivered with a jazzier, trance-infused flair. Stream the two songs below, which benefit enormously from the honeyed-tones...

I don’t want to stereotype Indiana (and I’m sure I’m wrong), but damn if their indie music isn’t wholesome. OK, I’ve only got the Happy Thoughts and Sleeping Bag in mind. That’s a start though. Two great bands that you wouldn’t mind bringing home to your mother. To say...

The San Diego-based DUDES have just dropped a free EP called Narcissists Anonymous, which includes a fully-playable RPG in the Bandcamp download. Crazy, right? I’ve played a little of the game — all the characters talk about DUDES while the main character wanders around a fantasy land in search...
