“WAZU have this sneaky charm about them, they seem to find optimism in the seediest places. These songs kind of taunt you and please you in a way you might not expect at first. What we hear from them is edgy and mysterious, and especially because we only have three songs right now, it definitely leaves you wanting more.” (RoundLetters)

WAZU is Matt and Rizz – an Australian-American glam/grunge/electronic/pop duo based in New York City by way of Sydney. Matt and Rizz met as freshmen at The University of New England in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia, and after writing and performing together in several influential Sydney bands, including Open the Gates and Captains, the two decided to officially become a duo and further explore the chemistry and ideas that so naturally occur between them.

In their first week as WAZU, the duo performed seven shows in six nights at the Top 10 “Best of the Fest” Festival at Toronto Indie Week 2010. “We showed up planning to play three shows, but [we] kept winning!” Shortly after, the band performed as part of the CMJ Festival at Lower East Side staple The Living Room, the Neon Reverb Music Festival in Las Vegas, and the Dropout Party at Don Hill’s in New York City.







In 2011 WAZU released a series of self-produced singles, three of which were re-recorded, re-mixed, and re-mastered with legendary producer Kevin McMahon (Titus Andronicus, Real Estate, Swans, The Walkmen) to be released as the WAZU EP on January 10, 2012 via Anti-Language Recordings. In celebration of their debut EP release, WAZU will perform at Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn, NY at 8pm on the same night.

Real street boys. The Whendays.

'Untru Love II' by The Whendays is an empty bed and the fading outline of a bridge that's been recently burned. "Just forget that we met" glows a voice from a different era, cradled by slow-burning atmospherics, sliding in a synthesized code of warm, diffuse beats and low-end bass.

The Whendays is made up of four track for wading through long, sleepless nights. Love will get you down, but you knew that getting into it. We move on. Time heals, but there's not enough of it. The Whendays captures that mid-twenties indecision and the fact that we didn't know what we wanted either. Extending glimmers of hope, its philosophy is simple and profound: eventually, things will get to where we want them to be.

The Whendays are Serge and Simon from Stockholm - musicians, filmmakers, actors  and seekers. A friend once said "look out for the travelers. You'll know them when  you see them."

Pensive, delicate, ornate and lush are all words used to describe the gentle music of James Wallace, a multi-instrumentalist from Melbourne, Australia who records and performs under the name Wintercoats.

Wintercoat's debut EP, Sketches, is a stunning collection of songs. Bells and chimes drip from corners, piano keys build from below, bass lines swell and string arrangements dance about. And on top of it all, James' haunting voice hazily rests.

Sharp. Sandra Kolstad.

Berlin's electro music scene has a little Norwegian gem on it's hands and it's called Sandra Kolstad. With a wonderful synth-pop sound and instantly danceable and poptastic tunes we can't see this lady staying off your radar for too much longer. [Blitzgigs.de]

Beautiful. Adi Ulmansky from Lorena B. Photo by Nir Perry.


We've talked before about Adi Ulmansky. The girl is one of the hottest names in Israel's indie scene. Since the last time we wrote about her, she managed to tour Europe with her home band, Lorena B.

As it looks now, Ulmansky is really close to the equator of the worldwide recognition among those who love quality music and sound editing. With thousands of mentions in blogs, don't be surprised if Adi Ulmansky will become to the next James Blake kind of case.
