Styrofoam

The godfather of glitch electronica, Arne Van Petegem, originates from Belgium. He revolutionized Dntel's early beginnings into the then relatively new genre and opened it up to the world. He often collaborates with many of the Morr Music artists such as Ben Gibbard, Andrew Kenny and many more. His new album Daily Synthesizers & Daily Tranquilizers is quite hard to come by, however his internationally recognized album Nothing's Lost is abundant in every indietronica fanatic's music library.

Populous moves away from his acoustic sounds to the more electric sound as he joins Short Stories to create a masterpiece called Drawn In Basic. This very IDM based sound is one to enjoy after a few cleared bowls, for then Populous and Short Stories will blow your mind with their piercing lyrics, tweets and twirls of electro, and fluttering sounds so unexplainable you just have to listen to understand.

Monarchy is a duo from London that produces dreamy pop-music. Their first single Gold In The Fire / Black The Colour Of My Heart was released on Neon Gold Records on February 1st 2010. They have done remixes for Ellie Goulding, Kelis, Lady Gaga, Marina & the Diamonds, etc. Why no one is talking about this duo is beyond me; I have a feeling they’ll be something special.

Twin Shadow

Twin Shadow is chillwave but with a beat. We don't know very much about him but when you hear his music its like transmitting suburban ghost dreams that sound like a slow motion shot of a cannon, singing about spirits, visions, and aural hallucinations cutting through the first American night.
