Recently, a couple bands have been brought to my attention, the first is The Joy Formidable. A Balloon Called Moaning will be their first stateside release. That link is to their last.fm account, where you can download Greyhound in the Slips for free! They're one of those perfect shoegazey bands from the UK. If you like My Bloody Valentine, and/or The Big Pink, you might enjoy these guys.
Also, Io Echo, a similar band out of Los Angeles, California. The band consists of Io, singer, and Leopold Ross (who played bass live for The Big Pink on their 2009/2010 tour, which I saw. He's an interesting kind of dude. I love his shirts). Check out their Myspace (linked) and download the song "Pixels". A couple of their songs are also available for download on Itunes US, so get on it!
(And btw, I love that bands are giving out free downloads of one of their songs. It's the perfect way to encourage people to buy the album!)
Enjoy these two dark, shoegazey beauties. xx
