The Devil's Round Up 12th June 2011

This weeks round up of the tracks that I haven't had the space to post...

The Dead Fronts
From: London, United Kingdom

Dark and jauntily, fractured pop rock that marches skewardly along with frenetic bursts of jagged chiming guitars and hypnotic chants.

You And Me by The Dead Fronts

Adam Balbo
From: San Francisco, United States

Adam Balbo (first featured on the Devil's blog in June last year Lo-Fi Guy) is back with a new album, Refried Nostalgia, and a band in tow. Despite the fuller sound his compadres bring to his songs he still sounds like he's extracted the essence of Bob Dylan and Jonathan Richman and mixed them together in a laboratory .

Obligatory Highway Analogy by Adam Balbo

The Great Book Of John
From: Birmingham, Alabama, United States

On Let Me Slide The Great Book Of John sound like The Cold War Kids gone alt-folk.

Quiet Lights
From: Brooklyn, United States

Quiet Lights' March sounds like the world after a fresh snowfall. It's whisper pop at it's most whispery.

Get People

Intelligent pop music that's so infectious you need to be immunised before you listen to it.

Away by GET PEOPLE

HowAboutBeth
From: London, United Kingdom

Ex Pipette Beth Mburu-Bowie is back with an experimental pop project called Rapid Ballads. Check out the oddly soulful Robot Boy which sounds perfect at 1am when you need a little bit of me time.
