Five For Free #130

So Many Wizards - Lose Your Mind


You can't help but feel that Californians So Many Wizards have been slightly overlooked, maybe due to the sheer volume of bands vying for space in that area. Their album 'Warm Nothing' includes some truly lovable examples of traditional, melodic guitar-pop, and new single 'Lose Your Mind' is one such song. If you like what you hear then be sure to seek out more.

Noun Verb Adjective - Feynman Lectures On Physics: Vol. 1


Lo-fi pop pairing Noun Verb Adjective spend their time messing around on simple recording equipment and forming their segments of distorted and crudely taped sound into wonderful ragged, noisy, indiepop tunes. They're currently giving away a free double A-side single via Odd Box Records. Check out 'Feynman Lectures on Physics: Vol. One' below and then nip over and grab the whole thing.
