From what little information we've been able to gather about Prince Of Pressure, it would appear the project is the work of three childhood friends from Montreal. 'Noise In The Night' is their debut release and it's a wonderful introduction; phased vocals, layered synths and enough of a hook to satisfy pop fans as well as those looking for a more left-field form of retro electronica.

Carried By Waves - Lights/Climbing Trees
Sticking with beautifully crafted electronic textures are Irish group Carried By Waves whose new album 'Softly Held Together' is available as a free download from bandcamp. Theirs is an experimental form of electro-pop that's both innovative and accessible, creating a mash of different ambient, chopped up digital and organic sounds, as heard on 'Lights/Climbing Trees'.

The Eastern Sea - The Match
Austin indie/folk/rock collective The Eastern Sea have recently released their second album 'Plague' and are offering the single 'The Match' as a free download. Taking influence from the cream of the North American alternative scene (Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, The National, Grizzly Bear etc.), the single steadily builds from soft guitar and vocals to crescendo of brass, percussion and harmonies.

Izabo - Summer Shade
Izabo may call Tel-Aviv home, but the Israeli band have captured the very same summery vibe that dozens of Californian indie groups are aiming for. Having been together for a decade they've had the time to refine their sound, and free track 'Summer Shade' is delightfully simple and catchy pop that's the perfect soundtrack to any seasonal activities you may have planned.
