Label: Q DivisionAlbum: Quichenight I
Artist: Quichenight
Genre: Indie Rock
Quichenight, the by-product of Nashville transplace/sideman Brett Rosenberg's various pop fixations, creates lo-fi, high-brow cassette rock, as twisted as it is catchy. Classic pop hooks swim in echo and tape hiss on their 15-track debut. Quichenight I was recorded entirely by Brett Rosenberg on a Tascam 424 four-track in his basement, and was mixed by Owl Cave engineer Kyle Hunt.

Artist: Mindelixir
Album: Doomsday Ticket LP
Genre: Electronic
Mindelixir's jazz/funk infused blend has been often categorized as dubstep, but there's something very different about his sound. Doomsday Ticket is the soundtrack to an alternate version of reality where cephalopods have risen to assume control of the planet and man is offered a ticket at the end of days if he wishes to survive. Blending hip hop rhythms with reggae and jazz in a futuristic bowl of dubstep based soup, the album delivers from a sub in the club per-spective to a melodies in my headphones. The album was created to be able to stand-alone as a piece that listeners can enjoy at home, in their cars or on headphones, while simultaneously being compatible with the raging dancefloors that influenced the producer's sound. Leaning back to the old school funk musicians of the 70s and hinting at the UK funky rhythms of today, this is a release not to be missed. It's Mindelixir's second full length LP supported by a Madison House booked national tour effort and released on Mochipet's Daly City Records. Get ready to leave the planet.
