The brains behind Jettison Tape is Brooklyn musician Dave Fischoff who has previously released lo-fi indie albums on the ace Secretly Canadian label, as well as working on film scores, remixes and more. 'Ghostboxes' is from the album 'Second Sleep' and is an experimental instrumental track that sounds like a wonderful combination of all of his work to date.

Mountainear - Down The Line
Given our track record, we'll let you off if you think Mountainear is us making a spelling mistake. It's not, it's a new band from London who are comprised of three singing drummers. That alone should pique your interest, but in truth, 'Down The Line' isn't loaded with beats, it's more like the twinkliest dreampop you'll hear all year. An interesting band and one to keep an eye on.

The Rebel Set - Monster
As title and artwork suggest, Phoenix band The Rebel Set deal in a mix of garage, surf and psychobilly. There's something unique about the lo-fi twang of 'Monster', though; organ and a guitar lead the way, but there also appears to be rhythm guitar and drums. Only you can't hear them, just the faint shadow that might indicate their presence. Weird and wonderful.

Nick D' & the Believers - Find A Little Love
Just for a second there, the opening bars of 'Find A Little Love' by Nick D' and the Believers tricks you into thinking it's a chart pop song, but that illusion is soon shattered. Yes, this has a big pop aspect to it, but very much of the alternative/guitar variety, and it's even slightly experimental with it. Combine it with some big hooks, layers of sound and a catchy beat and you have a winner.

Someday I Will Miss You - Hold On
We're informed that in Karlovac, Croatia, the only things to do are take long walks by the river or record songs. Luckily for us, Someday I Will Miss You have given the walks a miss for a while to lay down some tunes. 'Hold On' is a song "about ordinary love", which is a pretty modest statement. Still, the misty-eyed way in which they've recorded it makes it sound a bit more special than that.
