E.U.C. aka Electric Umbilical Cord are California transplants that have been residing in Brooklyn. They play electronic music and have been for 9 years in some form or another. They can be compared to The Cure, Bauhaus, The Chameleons, Death In June etc. But what they really are, are two of the coolest guys I know in the greater NY area playing the most sincere music they can based upon their influences, interests etc and they KILL IT. I can't think of a better time of year to be able to share this with you. Download this immediately and let this become your new fall soundtrack. Go see them live, buy whatever they have for sale.
A straight up BANGER from †‡† aka Rrritualzzz. Download this now, turn the lights down, the speakers up and get dark with this thing. I seriously listen to this song on repeat. Get it!
The Organ were a short lived, almost all female group from Vancouver, BC. They broke up at the peak of their buzz but left a solid record behind. Grab That Gun is heavily influenced by The Smiths...no matter how much they claim it isn't. Super Johnny Marrish guitar leads and rhythms, super Mozish vocals (though sang by a woman). It's all there. It even has kind of a dark 90's feel to it at times. Check it out.

Madison, Wisconson's Zola Jesus returns with a six song EP containg more of the same gothic, brooding and haunted pop but this time I feel it's more refined. It's a step in the right direction. Give it a listen, eh
