Watch the M. Woodroe video for Sweetness, Sweetness, a track from their The Treatment of Fractures EP: "Capturing pretty much all of the fears of puberty that keep lingering after reaching adulthood by means of skewed guitars and soft but powerful vocals, proves that politics can be inserted into interesting music, without resorting to tired slogans and simple chord progressions."

Neighbour Club: Snail Mail

At first it may seem that English slacker rockers Neighbour Club are sloppy by design on their debut EP Snail Mail and that some of the material is on the brink of falling apart, with all four members running around to save themselves and their mates from serious injury. Somehow they always manage to land on their feet.
On further inspection it becomes clear that all of this is part of their quest to create lively indie anthems that are all over the place, but also share a vision: to write quirky songs about deers popping up in the headlights, awkward one-night stands and popping pills without giving a fuck about possible nasty side-effects.

Age of Life: Carbon Bloom
German musician Chris Burda, half of post-rock duo Collapse Under The Empire, has shared a video for Carbon Bloom, the closing piece of the first part of ambitious cinematic post-rock double album Emergence / Transformation by his Age of Life project.
With this composition he has created a widescreen vision of life on Earth in its early stages, combining progressive and post-rock on top of synth driven percussive flow.
