More great sounds from Italy, if we were a big company we'd have someone stationed there to travel around seeking out new talent. The Base only formed this year, but as they've all had experience in previous bands it was fairly easy for them to gel and get some great music started, like single 'Balance' for example, which is a storming piece of indie rock.

La Mer - Red Balloon
Californian artist La Mer was always surrounded by music and it's been an integral part of her life since a very young age as she grew up in a theatre. She's also well-travelled and has a lot of experiences to convert into songs. The lovely, dreamy alt-pop of 'Balloons' belongs in that strange twilight zone between sleep and being awake. It shows both her skill as a songwriter and a wonderful voice.

Feral Conservatives - Friends Bail Always
Virginian duo Feral Conservatives are both multi-instrumentalists, and you're more than likely to detect a little mandolin incorporated into their indie-rock sound. It gives them an interesting edge at least, but they have good songs and that's far more important. They're currently offering an EP of assorted tracks for free download, and taken from it is 'Friends Bail Always'.

Rounak Maiti (Mighty) - I Could Be The Only One
Born and raised in Mumbai but now living in Los Angeles, Rounik Maiti has been making demo recordings in his bedroom for a couple of years, and has now decided to share them with the wider world. You'll find many free tunes (including some covers) on his SoundCloud page, but we quite like this delicate original composition called 'I Could Be The Only One'.

Excellent choice and great free download. Thanks very much. You're right about Italy Kev, that's exactly where I'd be too. Some great music emerging from there!
