• The Studio Era - "Constance" single (Beko) [thestudioera.com]
• Mellow enough for Sunday morning, interesting enough to belong on this blog. Good stuff.
• They say they're from Portland and Brooklyn. They don't post pictures, so they're kind of mysterious.

New Chain - Click to order

• Small Black - New Chain (Jagjaguwar) [Blogspot]
• Chilled new wave. Keyboard-y. Found it here (password = mp3musicmatrix.com).
• They call it "chillwave". And I approve. Four boys from Brooklyn make beautiful noise together. You should really check it out.
• You can get the first single, "Photojournalist", for free at Pitchfork. It and another track, "Search Party", are on MySpace.

I think I like the Crystal Stilts single best of these. Here's "Shake the Shackles".
