THESE ARE POWERS: "the appropriate soundtrack for a bombed-out, water-damaged Brooklyn basement with one bulb for light. If the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had pursued the more confrontational branches of New York no-wave, they would probably sound like this.... distinct and stunning" — PITCHFORK

JAVELIN: A new addition to David Byrne's Luaka Bop label. "Sounds range from broken dance jams to relaxed instrumental cut-ups, created with love on their MPCs. Long forgotten samples are chopped and re-assembled with drums, wooden recorders, old keyboards,handmade thumb pianos or whatever instruments are readily at hand. The result is a kind of mix tape fantasy (residing in the mythical "dollar bins of the future"), where R & B impresarios, amateur booty bass producers and Andean flautists hold equal sway." OUR STAGE

REAL ESTATE: "[they] mix languid psychedelia, muted vocals, a boomy undertow of drums, and jammy repetitions that somehow conjure fellow Garden State crew the Feelies... a super tight live band" — A STEREOGUM 'BAND TO WATCH'

AIR WAVES: Favorite New Band Air Waves: "Nicole Schneit is an amazing songwriter. The music she writes is like a favorite blanket wrapped around you. Drummer Dave Ferraro complements her songs well. "Shine On" is my current favorite song by them." DAN DEACON Pitchfork

ORGANS: Garage-punk rockabilly bliss.
