“Bring It” by Midori (Electronic Artist from Japan)

RadioIndy is pleased to present Midori with a GrIndie Award for their CD "Bring It"

 

"Bring It" is a pop rock/pop punk album from Japanese female vocalist Midori and her backing band Audioclique. Midori has a strong, mainstream voice similar to the lead vocalist of Paramore that is sure to take her far, and her group vocals with Audioclique are enjoyable as well. The lyrics on "Bring It" are wistful, heartfelt, longing, and bitter, great for that mainstream sound they seem to be looking for. "Black Monday" and "Take Me There" have catchy choruses one can't help but to sing along to. The recording is clean and professional sounding, ready to hit alternative radio airwaves. The title track, "Bring It," has a fast-paced sound with a great guitar solo while Midori demands your attention with her vocals. "Close Your Eyes" is much slower and stripped down as Midori sings you a lullaby backed only by a beautiful piano progression. Overall, "Bring It" is a fun album and a sparkling debut from Midori/Audioclique that is sure to be all over the radio. Fans of female pop punk, check out "Bring It."

“From A Horizontal Position” by Delēsh (Electronic Artist from Washington(WA))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Delesh with a GrIndie Award for their CD "From A Horizontal Position"

 

"From A Horizontal Position" by Delēsh is a refreshingly dreamy and seductive collection of electronic/pop tunes. Delēsh's soothing, airy vocals take the center stage of this fluid production. Moreover, the trancy musical arrangements provide the perfect backdrop for Delēsh's hypnotic, effect-laden vocals. "Fruit Leather And Chains" immediately pulls listeners in with its intriguing percussion arrangement and layered harmonies. "Interference" flaunts a bit more soul and attitude, and incorporates the skillful use of uncommon electronic sounds. Furthermore, the repetitive, melodic vocal arrangement that starts off "Mele" reflect this album's daring diversity and creativity. Polished with careful production, this CD will serve as delightful ear-candy for any fan of electronica, ambient, or pop music.

"Heart of Matter" by Michael O'Connell (Electronic Artist from Massachusetts(MA))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Michael O'Connell with a GrIndie Award for their CD "Heart of Matter"

 

"Heart of Matter" by Michael O'Connell is a dreamy Electronica album that features dynamic grooves and lush textures. The songs are all very unpredictable and feature very emotion-conscious arrangements. There is a nice mix of organic and synthetic instruments. The album is well mixed and flows nicely from track to track. The vibe is mellow and will relax you while it stimulates your mind. Highlights include the opener "Liquid Clouds Suite," which sets the table nicely with big ambient synths that transition into a fluid and intelligent sequence. "Red Horizon" showcases a few more organic instruments (including electric guitar), and has a soft, but driving beat. "Dark Moon Transit" opens with a wicked beat and wraps the album up well with a great sense of closure. If you enjoy nicely flowing Electronica music, check out this CD.

"Formica and Cork Tiles" by A Pyxie Worm (Electronic Artist from United Kingdom)

RadioIndy is pleased to present A Pyxie Worm with a GrIndie Award for their CD "Formica and Cork Tiles"

 

"Formica and Cork Tiles" by A Pyxie Worm is an experimental folktronic/electronic album comprised of organic, natural and electronic sounds. Using laptop technology, the band collects sounds wherever they may be, as many of the textures are field recordings. Given this, the album does not in any way sound like a home made album. The recordings are crisp and the production value is excellent. The arrangements are truly unique and there is a consistent vibe throughout the entire album. Highlights are the "Harbourside", with a mellow Rhodes organ progression, steady beat and an array of quirky sounds. "Long Evening Shadow" fades in nicely with an Asian feel and works its way into a Latin feel. "I Cut Off My Doll's Hair and Now She's Bald" is mysteriously quirky with hints of evil and hints of innocence. If you like experimental electronic music, you'll enjoy this one.
